Kind of a dull Monday, too. Summer school is over, which is good as Leia-chan's radiator leaked again Saturday afternoon. Took Beloved Hubby some lunch at the shop, and there was another puddle. But she drove home fine. I think I put too much water in her the other day, and it's possible the leak is the excess venting out under pressure. At least, we hope.
Hancock Fabrics has another 'half-off the notion wall' sale Friday. I'll probably go, get some snap fasteners. Ordered a bunch off eBay a few weeks ago, but most were too large to use. I mean, these things are ginormous ! I had to go back and look at the auction page, as they didn't look that big when I bought 'em. Oh, well. Live and learn, and don't do it again !
Ever since our W-M reorganized, the notions are few and none. There's now one card of snaps, four sizes to the card. One size I can't use, and it's 1/3 of the card. It's good I don't want any more fabric, because that's been about halved. I'm sure Hancock's and Hobby Lobby love that !
Got to watch an episode of the live-action Sailor Moon TV series on YouTube.com. I knew it'd be cheezy, but whew. I feel sorry for the actors. The 'sailor' uniforms look to be about half foam-rubber, half Lycra, and the actors actually look small inside the clothes. They got a fantastic Queen Beryl, but the poor guys playing minions Nephlyte and Kunzite are really having to ham it up just to make their over-the-top costumes move with them. I'm still making the mental adjustment to Naru (Molly) being accentless and having only a red tinge to her hair, and Neffy being a *real* redhead. I mean, his hair is Crayola red !
Also, most of the actors have to play against digital sparkle effects that of course aren't there, and a tiny remote-control toy Luna, so it can't be easy for them. What's kind of cute in a cartoon really looks...ridiculous in live-action. Odd as it sounds, the live-action is more cartoonish than the animated series !
Speaking of red, I made Leia a blouse today - a simple shirt from Fashion Doll Fun, enlarged a bit. Sleeves are still tight, though, so I'll have to fix that on the pattern manually. Looks good with the shorts I made yesterday. Photo's been added to the tunic suit one on the Barbie page. Got the snaps sewn on and everything.
Not sure what tomorrow's gonna bring - except August !
