stick a fork in me... I'm done.

So... costume commissions. After dealing with this Klingon costume near-fiasco (more on that in a sec), I'm scaling back. Small items... if there's to be a full costume... one part at a time (Summer, much like you were thinking of doing... and yours is safe, no worries). No full costumes all at once. Fuck that shit. I'm exhausted, frustrated...
So, the Klingon commission. Now, I'm the Queen of Procrastination. Most of my close friends know this about me. I could have -and should have- done a lot better on that ensemble. But I kept putting things off... today was the absolute deadline... and there are tribble hides coming off because I couldn't sew them down (my machine jammed... possible need a different needle)... if I'd gotten to that point EARLIER in the progress, I could have done some hand sewing to get them sewing down as well... but no. So, I'm gonna keep kicking myself because I fucked things up on it right and left. I feel like he may think he didn't get his money's worth. And i do hate that feeling. I did earn the money, what with drafting patterns, designing the damn thing, etc, etc... but knowing there are imperfections bugs the shit out of me.
So, costuming commissions... single items only... well, at least one item at a time.
I'm gonna take a short break before starting on the next item in the queue. I need to do a lot of cleaning around here, and I need to destress and look for work... badly.
With school stuff: I think I'm going to keep with some costume design classes, but lean more toward scene design... and whether I finish out the degree or not is something i can't fully decide right now. I have one BA. I want to switch over to a local MLIS (Library Sciences) program, but I want to 'milk the system' at my current school next year. We're getting new insurance, and I want to see if they'll cover a specific surgery. But I have to wait until Fall. No guarantee I'll get decent insurance through a job or any at all through the other school. So, I want to get what I want while I can.
More thoughts on all of this to come... as I mull it all over.
