It's a rare midweek post! I needed to make a list so I thought I'd do it here. And update with the one I finished yesterday. So far these are the Padme costumes I have left to finish: Ep 1 Black Invasion Ep 1 Senate Ep II Cut Senate (working on this one now) Ep II Travel Gown Ep II Picnic Gown Ep II Battle Suit Ep II wedding dress (I totally ...
Thursday last week was our 10th wedding anniversary!! It's crazy to think it's been 10 years! On Thursday I posted all my fav wedding pics to my instagram story.... I've had a few friends get married recently and seeing their day on social media made me sad I didn't get to do that (since instagram didn't exist when we got married and it'd be another year before we got our first ...
I put off posting yesterday hoping I'd have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I've only got about half so far... but I'm gonna go ahead and post today anyway. I've still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven't stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move stuff every day after work... we got over half of ...
First off, a couple of new art things. Padme's pilot disguise from 2010: New: Dressing robe from 2010: New: This stupid one I did the painting on TWICE. I got the linework and flat colour done and backed up. Then did everything else Wednesday night, got it about 95% done. Tried to open it up last night to put the finishing touches on and the file was corrupted. ARRGH. Tried a bunch of ...
Sooo start off with... I TRIED to sew this weekend and my brain was just so full of everything we need to do that I just couldn't focus. I did kinda start playing with a mockup for Crait Leia. Didn't get very far. Went to the fabric store Friday night and got some heavy weight fabric to use as maybe a lining for it (sandwiched between the fashion fabric and ...
I have absolutely no costume stuff to talk about today. Chase was going to Nashville this weekend, and originally I was going to stay home and get started on Amidala and Crait Leia. But at the last minute I decided to go to my grandparents for the weekend instead. It worked out nicely; Chase was able to take my car to Nashville (which saved a ton on gas), and he ...
It was a busy weekend ANDDDDDDDDDDD I forgot to talk about Chase's birthday in my last post! So I'm back to Monday posting. Thursday was Chase's birthday! We went to Folk's Folly... he has never been I haven't been since prom LOL. It was really good; I wore my tiki bird dress just 'cuz. And I had SUPER good leftovers for lunch Friday LOL. He got a sous vide cooker ...
I usually post Monday and apparently I didn't since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I'm going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about... yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...
First up I FINALLY got the Tinkerbell portfolio page put up -- it's here! Only took me all week! Beyond that I have nothing to talk about in terms of costumes. I got my sewing room cleaned up. Packed up some stuff in there that wasn't necessary - IE, in my cabinet I have all my music CDS on the top shelf, that just collect dust. So I packed those ...
I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let's back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin's Peter Pan. As it turned out it was lucky I had that day off because we ended up having to have a dishwasher repairman come by (our 1.5 year old dishwasher decided to stop working, wtf), and we ...
