This and That....
Well, this last weekend was the big shindig for our household with Dom getting his laurel and pelican. Ivan and I hosted the party so its been weeks of cleaning and purging and by 6pm Friday everything was done including the scroll...which isnt really a scroll but you'll see that in the album below:
It was a lot of work and it took forever to get the concept that I was seeing in my head onto the object.
I'm awaiting pictures of his face which was epic.
Work we finished the big $40M project and now I'm struggling with ennui especially after certain feedback I got and I'm just ready to cry, scream and say fuck the world to being a female engineer. I won't but its just ever frustrating that I'm termed difficult to work with due to being female and if a male counterpart did the same things no one would object. *flounce* Not sure what to do with that....just keep calm and carryon and realize that again perceptions are everything and it sucks but not much I can do. I need to chat with a few of my mentors and see what I can do to not beat myself up on it over and over and over again. Its just so damn frustrating.
My hands are effed from all of the cleaning and scrolling and stuff and then I sprained my left thumb while attempting to pull a box down. yeah....its awesome.
Next on the docket is clothes for TRM for their stepping down....this is another project that is having a hard time being tangible. Well, this weekend I'm doing pattern mockups and will have things for them to try on when I see them the following Saturday. Plus I need to plan out stuff for Ivan and I and start in on clothes as well. My plan is that we will have new wardrobes by Estrella....and then I hope to have clothes set for Marek and Golda for the royalty dinner at Estrella as well.
