Woot! This week is going to be nice. A chance to recharge my batteries and get some of those nagging projects off my table. I've also got a few costumes in the works that I really really want to get done. They are just taking up too much time and space in my brain and I want them down in fabric. I've got them sketched out, but since I'm not much of a sketch artist, I've got to create them in order to get my point across.
But the weekend started out great with an event at Barnes and Noble in Orem. I'm working with a project called Worlds of the Crystal Moon. It is a book series that the author is taking input from the fans about what traits each character should have or about storyline ideas towards what he's already got down. When I met the guy, he was a blast to listen to and to be with. I could see that he's passionate about it, even if he doesn't call himself a writer. I've almost finished the first book and I've got some great costume ideas. What's even greater about all this is that in August there will be an event at the SLC Library where Jakob gets to choreograph a big fight! I'm so proud and happy for him. YAY! Plus, Jakob gave me a compliment: "it's great that I married a costume designer. That way, I know that the costumes will work with the movements I have planned". I think that was a compliment.
Anyway, Happy Easter to everyone (whether or not you celebrate it). The "easter bunny" left stuff for us this morning, so yay for chocolate!
Jakob's parents and younger brother are in town this weekend so it was good to be able to see them. That and now I've got a clean house from top to bottom! I'm just glad that things have gone smoothly so far.
Once I get a few of my costumes finished, I'll post some pictures. I've got a lot of picture taking to do this week for already completed costumes, but I've got to wait until the snow melts (yep, it snowed last night. about 2 inches) so I can go outside and take pictures. I like the way natural sunlight makes the costumes look compared to artificial light.

That's awesome to be working on the costumes for a writer! Fantastic! I can't wait to see pictures of your work.
It goes the other way around for me and Adam: I write novels with fight scenes, and he helps me choreograph them so they work on paper. It's very helpful! And fun to work it out in our living room. :)
Yah for costumes! And you are good at it too!
