that right there is (was) the route i was taking for the "make it pink" round two challenge of project sewn. she has since been dismantled for greener pastures, as i loathed her. the solid pink taffeta mocked me until i just had ENOUGH. BEGONE SASSY SOLID! i am 1/4 of the way through my next brand-new try, which is really smart considering it's pilot season and i have auditions and work and parties and miss pink is due by sunday.
SPEAKING OF ROUND TWO. thank you for sending me to the next round! and holy cow for voting me to the top of this first round!!! i am sincerely floored, especially considering the company i'm honored to be in. i'm also sincerely bummed that one of us has to go, which means i have three weeks of bummers ahead, any of which could be self bumming. right now i'm bumming about my very favorite, very fabulous girl lladybird, whose painted-on-pants and embroidered-pearl-snap-button-down are dolly parton delicious. you rock, llady.
Greener pastures. Ha. I had to laugh at that one. You know, considering it's a pink challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday and my brain is fried, so please excuse my amusement over simple matters.
haha, mine must be too, cause that made me laugh, and then think about pinker pastures LOL
Deletewhen i wrote it i thought "why didn't i get some green in my new dress...."
DeleteCongratulations for coming out on top, Oona! What a great group of contestants; it was really all a little overwhelming to be honest. Now go out an get yourself a series, fergawdsakes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of this. That was a massively competitive first round!! Everyone came out swinging!
DeleteAnd I would love to see you on TV regularly! (And by regularly, I mean wait until at least three seasons are streaming on Netflix before I start to watch ;D)
i will gladly take these orders. the amount of one season (or no frigging season) shows i've been in must be rectified.
DeleteClearly, I have retained my grade school sense of humour. Every *bum* had me giggling. Congrats on the win...you most definitely are worthy of the coveted first place spot!
ReplyDeleteAnd a kindred spirit, if ever there was one. I understand that Project Sewn competitors have *lots* of time to make their garments, so knowing you are in the midst of pink at this moment is a comfort to me. I mean really, why do something in advance, if it can be done at the last minute? In our defense, a little pressure heightens creative genius. Made that up, but I'm running with it.
hahahaha! i think your defense is perfect. i had every intention of working ahead of time, but i get bored quickly...
DeleteGreat achievement Oona, you deservedly came on top! Forget about the pink taffeta and give her the finger. I'm sure you next project will be equally fabulous!
ReplyDeleteflipping her the bird as we speak!
DeleteA righteous victory! Yay!
ReplyDeletethanks jenny :)!
DeleteSo excited to see your pinkety-pink-pink project! I have something similar staring me down from my dress form, daring me to wear her but I'm just. not. sure.
ReplyDeleteTAKE THE DARE. I DOUBLE DOWN DARE YOU.
DeleteBummer that you loathe this dress, because it looks like it was fixin' to be awesome. But, sometimes things just don't look the way we want or see in our heads and then they must go! Will be interested to see what replaces her! :-)
ReplyDeleteshe was just driving me crazy! i made such a face whenever i looked at her.
DeleteCongratulations! I'm sad that won't be your pink project as it looks fabulously Mad Men-esque, but I'm sure whatever you've got up your sleeve is even better!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very Joan H., isn't it? Reminds me of this one. Were you trying to make a version of that dress?
Deletehmmmm....perhaps i should resurrect her for miss bobbins yearly madmen??
Deleteand OOO um no i wasn't going for that dress, but now i TOTALLY want to!
YAY! Oona! I was happy to see you won the first week of Project Sewn. Your outfit was incredible. I'm sure whatever you're bringing for next week is going to be pretty fabulous!
ReplyDeletethank you michele!!! fingers crossed... she's.... erm... a doozy...
DeleteCongrats on winning the first week, my friend! I cannot wait to see what pink wonder you will end up creating for this next challenge!
ReplyDeletelovely meg. i may hurt your peepers this week.
DeleteVery big congrats on the win! A shame about the feisty pink taffeta - she'd be a good match for you, but perhaps she'll be resurrected as something even more fabulous! In the meantime, looking forward to your new pink cocktail... (dress)?! :)
ReplyDeleteWHY WAS I NOT DRINKING PINK COCKTAILS LAST WEEK
DeleteWhatever, I voted for you anyway (AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO) so I'm glad you won! I'll just live vicariously through you when you rakes in all those prize$ ;)
ReplyDeleteBIG MONEY!!! NO WHAMMIES!!!! we will drink to all of it when you get here....
DeleteCongrats for the win!!! You deserved it. Hands down had the best outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rocked it. I am not just saying that because you are one of my faves because I definitely love Lladybird too and not as familiar with the others, but could see myself liking them too, but you were hads down #1 in that round... not doubt about it. I had absolutely no trouble voting for my fave :) Can't wait to see the next.
ReplyDeletethankya!! they all seriously brought it. i'm terrified of this week!
Deletecongrats on the win! it was hard to believe that one of the entries wouldn't make the cut--they were all seriously awesome. good luck with the pink challenge!
ReplyDeletei do wish we could all stay.
DeleteA great big congrats Oona!!!
ReplyDeletethank you faye!
DeleteWith pink as my signature colour, I have such a hard time disliking any of the projects! Break a leg with auditions. I want to see you on my TV screen come fall!!
ReplyDeletehaha sarah you are gonna go into pink overload this week! and, from your computer screen to The Casting Gods' ears.
DeleteYou totally rocked that first challenge! Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the next round.

ReplyDeletethanks jordan! i'm waiting with baited breath for this week.
DeleteCongratulations, can't wait to see the next creation.
ReplyDeletelovely lori, thank you.
DeleteI just loved every bit of your entry, from the cul de sac inspiration to the final result. Every last wisp of leg warmer. But I'm sitting out pilot season this year, and I'm sitting out voting to. I just know how harsh they can both be, and I want everyone to get picked up!
ReplyDeleteooo, cul de sac inspiration, i likes it! you know i feel you on the abstaining tip. sometimes i wish i could sit it out. but it's competition season anyways, might as well compete a little more.
DeleteCongrats lovely! Cannot wait to see what you pull out this week....
ReplyDeleteACK. she's ca-rAY-zay, girl.
DeleteCongrats on the first win. I am sure your second garment will be amazing in pink!
ReplyDeleteoh linda! i hope you think so after tomorrow!!
Deleteoh gosh I lovvvvvvve that pink dress!!!!! If that was your discarded idea I can't wait to see what you are going with!
ReplyDeleteHEH! let's just say she's a little less solid.
Deletecongraaaaats, sis! well deserved! can't wait to see the pink challenge makes! i might even convince myself to hack that precious pink silk i have for ages, and join the challenge
ReplyDeletePLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
DeleteI hear you sister....finished my make and now I'm freaking out. You totally deserve the win. It was my fav outfit too, I'm so sad for Lauren too.. She did amazing job.
ReplyDeleteevery week's gonna suck a little, isn't it?
DeleteYou so so deserve the win! Can't wait to see what kind of pink extravaganza you come up with for the next round! I agree w mpb, go and get yo self a show!
ReplyDeletegetting myself a show this week! THIS VERY WEEK DAMMIT!
DeleteCongrats!!!!! I can't wait to see your next entry! By the way thanks for the fur leg warmers tutorial!
ReplyDeletethankya, and you're welcome--lemme know if you try it!
DeleteI was such a fan of the painted on pants, it's so sad that one of you has to leave the competition each week. But your outfit was mind-blowingly stupendous - you even got the man interested! He was dying to know where the coat fabric came from. ;) Can't wait to see what you bring in round pink!
ReplyDeleteha, i love it! you can tell him it came from mood, but a year ago. sadly, i think it's all gone.
DeleteVery well done and well deserved win too! Looking forward to another fun creation by you.
ReplyDeletethank you! i promise it will be fun. hopefully it will also be good.
DeleteBrava, diva! Good luck with the pink!
ReplyDeletemany thanks, goddess!
DeleteI've never sewn anything pink! I guess I'm a bit scared of so much colour :) I'm really excited to see what you come up with for the next round!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, congrats, congrats!!!! xoxox!
ReplyDeleteyay congrats so glad for you! and miss pink does indeed look VERY pink :)
ReplyDeleteI am super happy for you. The outfit was killer.
