Birthday blog month is over. Site look has been updated. Still need to update the art segment but I'll get to that in a bit here. Back to Tink! Round one of dyeing didn't turn out dark enough. So back in the dye once more. Better. I was left looking like I was ready to play Elphaba though. I didn't even realize I'd dripped it down my arms too until ...
So I know that my site and blog have changed a lot over 20 years. From fanart, SunDowner and screaming about college in 3 posts a day, to 2 years worth of online quiz results, to talking about nothing but costumes and housework. (Seriously you guys have no idea how many quiz result posts from 2007-2009 I deleted when I ported my blogger posts over.) My blog and website are mostly just here ...
This post is an ode to the weird shit I've posted over the years... beyond the art, costumes, daily life updates and whatnot, the weird stuff has always been my fav. February 20, 1998 ART POST: VINCENT (FF7) "Vincent is mad because RedXII stole all his Pepperidge Farm goldfish." February 21, 1999 - SKETCHBLOG: SMOKIN’ JOE February 5, 2000 - SKETCHBLOG: QUALITY BLAHNESS June 17, 2000 - ART POST: TRIGUN When you totally finish drawing and inking a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
So I've come to the last post for my week of fav costumes blog posts/notable moments. This post will cover 2014 til now! January 17, 2014 - FAQ FRIDAY: RENTING COSTUMES 2014 starts off with a rant-y post. Like who thinks I am just going to give a random stranger one of my costumes?! January 23, 2014 - SEWING ROOM – FINISHED! 5 years into having my own sewing room... I finally got it to its "finished" ...
Today's post covers my favourite posts/notable memories from my costumes category, starting in 2010 and going through 2013! January 15, 2010 - CLEANING MY OFFICE, COSTUME SCHEDULES I spent a good part of the late part of 2009/early 2010 getting my sewing room in order. And of course making some plans. February 8, 2010 - JANE AND BATGIRL UPDATES Boy talk about stuff that didn't happen. I was supposed to do Jane and Batgirl for Anaheim. ...
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 ...
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, ...
