Earrings, Cat Suit and Work Toward an Actual Goal

Project updates, in no particular order - 

Code
I'm getting pretty confident in my ability to create basic web design.   I use Codeacademy.com to learn basic html, CSS and Java. I'll be starting Ruby soon. If you are looking for work in ANY field, I suggest doing this, even if these skills seem completely unrelated to your job. It shows you are interested in building you skills in your downtime and gives you more terms to use on a resume.

Earrings, now in BUNNIFORM!

Plain

Gilded

Costume
Remember I'm making this: 



Here's a bizarre pattern, made from scratch per my measurements:


Here's a cat suit, made from said pattern:


This is the mock-up prior to adjusting the pattern. Note, no side seams, no center front seam. I shortened the crotch extension and trued up the leg seams on the pattern after this fitting. One more mock up, and I can start adjusting the pattern to contain the style lines of the actual costume. 

Nightstand
I threw a few more coats of paint on the interior of the nightstand project while I was patterning. It should be ready for the complete exterior stain and polyurethane coat soon. 

Upcoming Projects
In a few weeks, we'll be making a spice rack on wheels for my kitchen and a set of Roman shades for the living room.

  2. Sure! We have a space next to the stove of about 16 inches (it can move about 8 either way. We've got limited counter space, so we are making a sort of cart on wheels to store my myriad spices and create a little counter top for utensils and such. Pics shall follow in about 5 weeks.
