costume college registration

Is here!!!! I am excited. It was really hard to choose my limited classes. Other then those though..... not a lot I was interested in. Guess it will be a great chance to volunteer and perhaps get up the courage to meet people.
Classes I picked were intro to silk embroidery on Friday, metal thread embroidery - embroidered gauntlets on sunday, steampunk fascinators on Saturday, and blackwork embroidery on Saturday. In that order for priority. I just noticed a trend.... hrmmmm maybe I should get done with that blackwork already.
Hopefully I get more than one of my choices this year. It is going to be in the mail tomorrow just to be sure.

Just Curious

... if anyone on my friends list might be pondering a room mate for Costume College. I am asking because I am at that stage also. I have the money right now for the room, because I am employeed but my employment is temperary, and suppose to stop the month before Costume College. Which means by the time Costume College rolls around it might be nice to split the cost of a room with someone. If anything it's more money to possibly spend in the fabric district.... so yea... if anyone else is pondering a room mate let me know.

In other news, I am still on track of my 4 squares a day goal for the quilt. I am working on number two for today. They are quite boring to make and I am irritated with the pattern because the instructions were completely off. *grumble grumble* I have also embroidered another inch or so on the sleeve cuff.

My corset for Comic Con on the other hand has not been in any way successful. I am trying to get the front to have a very distinct sweetheart shaped neckline. I would also like it to cup and support the 'girls'.... Well first mock up barely met the first criteria and epicially failed on the second. *sigh* I am going to try a little bit of draping and see if that helps...
