Birthday Blog: My Fav Site Designs

So it's no secret that, early on, I LOVED to redesign my site. I'd do it every other month if I had time. It was really fun for me to come up with new stuff and figure out how to build it. In fact this post isn't really about my "favourite" site designs. It's about ALL my site designs, just because that's what I feel like doing, LOL. I got ...

Birthday Blog: Disney!!

Ok so I did this post last, it's just kind of an extra thing... but I thought I'd be remiss to not include our Disney adventures here, especially since it's become such a big part of our life in the past couple of years. Buckle in, this is going to be a long post. My first trip to Disney World was 1985. (look at my fat little face!!) We went for ...

Tink progress, Amidala fabric

Ok so wow... my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW! It's not perfect, but I think the pattern is good and has been the closest I could find in a decent fabric (found plenty in a cotton...). It's a little sheer, but ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2006-2009

Today's post covers my favourite/notable costume blog posts from 2006-2009. These were some pretty busy years, sewing wise - but a lot of it was just more of the same, there's not a lot that's notable off the top of my head. So let's see if this ends up being as long as 2003-2005 was... January 7, 2006 - ONE PIC FROM SHADOWCON Ash and I went up to Shadowcon for ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2003-2005

This post is dedicated to my fav/notable/memorable costume moments of 2003-2005! I did a lot of costumes in 2003. More than any other year to date. But that's because a lot of them weren't made - they were "piece mealed" together out of stuff I bought. (I don't do a lot of that anymore.) 2004 was a transitional year. I started moving around from doing anime costumes - in fact, ...

Tinkerbell and a 3 day weekend

I took Friday off so I could sew, guess how much sew I got done?! (Hint: not a lot. At least not that day.) I bummed around all morning, then went to Hobby Lobby because I needed a new roll of paper for making patterns. Then I was done earlier than expected, but I'd ordered my lunch online set for 11:30... so I had a little time to kill. Went by ...
