An update & an art dump

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 ...

MidSouthCon 2018!

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 ...

its the update

I have a bunch of stuff to post. Buckle in! First loooook what came in the mail last week! I'm finally gonna retire my old Hermione. Been wanting to for a few years now! I bought Luna's wand back in 2015 intending to start on a Luna costume and just never have... but now I have a sweater and a patch... I'll probably start collecting more stuff for it later this ...

My fingertips are burnt off

Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That's how they feel today. So yeah that's mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn't use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading. Hand-sewed down the rest of the mesh along the waist. ...

Peter Pan Pants Pattern

I hope nobody finds this post by googling "Peter Pan Pants Pattern" because I'm not actually talking about Peter Pan's pants pattern. It's just something Kevin and I kept saying last weekend as a tongue twister LOL So I've spent the bulk of this week focusing on finishing up Peter Pan. Tuesday I was all like "I'm going to finish ALL of it tonight!" and then that didn't happen, so ...

A 4 day weekend…

Ahh gosh I don't remember what I posted about last time. Last week was mostly working on the Leia I was making for a friend. That's my new one on the left, hers on the right. I got it finished up on Thursday - and now I want to redo parts of mine, LOL. Namely that I made the dress a bit slimmer through the chest/waist. I want to ...

My Fav Padme Costumes

I don't know why but I got the thought in my head to make a post ranking all of Padme's costumes. I thought it would be fun. It ended up being really hard, LOL. Because honestly there's nothing I dislike. If given the chance I would make probably any of these. I think they are all pretty in their own way (except for... maybe like the 2 I listed last). So ...

80s Murder Mystery, House stuff, Leia progress

Friday night we had a birthday party to go to! And we were going to be playing an 80s Murder Mystery game, so we had to come as our characters. I was "Toni Oregano" who had 1 hit with "Hey Dickie" and who also ran a mogwai rescue. LOL. Chase was "Nork from Pork" who was on a popular tv series but now believes he's actually from planet Pork. I put ...

Happy Birthday Sims

When I did my birthday blog stuff last month, I had considered doing a post just about Sims stuff... but decided I didn't have enough content and just folded some of it into the "weird stuff" post. But then today I found out the Sims turned 18 on Feb 4! So what the heck, I thought I'd go ahead and show some of my fav Sims posts and screencaps from over the ...

a waste of a day

Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me... I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can cover my legs up with it. But the past couple ...
