Small update

I haven't been updating very often and the garage has recluttered with all the garagey things that don't really belong in the house but can't stay outside either. I had planned to declutter again, maybe even have a small garage sale, but that's a lot of work.

Last year I worked on my DragonCon costume almost every weekend throughout the summer. It was great and I learned a lot about sewing. On the other hand, I didn't get anything else done that summer. This spring my time has been taken up mostly with writing. I finally finished my current book, a full-length steampunk fantasy with the same characters (Lizzy and Jo) I've been writing short stories about for a year. Now I've only got two months until DragonCon, I'm kind of broke so I can't indulge myself with buying a lot of fabric, and I'm still behind on my writing.

So I'm probably not going to dress up at DragonCon this year. I will try to take a few weekends during the rest of the summer to do some sort of steampunky project to post about, though. I need a pair of goggles that aren't covered in feathers, for instance.
