This is a continuation of my last post! We left Huntsville around 10 and drove to Birmingham instead of home - because we were going to the Art of Disney Costume exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art! I took a ton of photos and I'm not going to post everything here - HERE is the whole gallery! Disclaimer... I was really excited and moving a little too fast with photos, ...
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I'll cover the few things from the week before... I'm going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces -- I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the bodice pieces and the skirt of course... all the fabric ...
Even though I said "no" to April Fool's Day last week, I did make something for it: It cracks me up how well this went together for 5 seconds in photoshop LOL Monday I got my Padme lake dress cardigan from maxxmerch! I love it!! Plus it came with a pin, a print and a keychain!! I filmed an unboxing video, got it edited and uploaded to tiktok... where it stayed ...
I think I have finally decided what to take to Huntsville: 1. Honeymoon Leia 2. Packing Padme 3. Chip & Dale 4. Sailor Jupiter And I may also throw Seven in since she doesn't take up a lot of room, so no big deal if I don't get around to wearing her. Based on last year I don't think I'll have time for more than 4, especially since we're not going over Sunday at all. ...
We're back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase's birthday. But, as usual, let's start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it's been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says hi I've been wanting this bag for a while and ...
I have got nothing to post this week really. Yes I could've finished my Leia dress. Did I? No, in fact I made it worse. I did get my belting and tried it on with the dress. I'm still not happy with how lumpy the waist-seam looks EVEN THOUGH it's hidden. I think I said in a previous post I'd been wishing I'd made the purple "skirt" as a separate ...
I don't have a lot to chat about this week EXCEPT costume stuff. I worked on Honeymoon Leia every night last week and almost all of that was me monkeying with the back zipper. It took me forever to get it installed without it pulling at the bottom weird. TBH I don't know what I was thinking doing the zipper the way I planned and did - I kinda wish ...
I totally spaced on posting yesterday. I was just so excited to get back to work on the Padme project LOL It's been a busy week. Last friday was my parents 50th anniversary!! Whoa! But let me just go through everything from the beginning. Or as close as I can get. Finished this little puzzle. Gonna glue it together. I have a Star Trek puzzle the same size, I thought ...
Yall I had over 1500 photos to go through when we got home. So it's taken me a hot minute to get everything lightened (every iphone photo inside had to be lightened...), uploaded, culled, etc. So let's dig in! Thursday 2/15 we got up bright and early and hit the road. I felt SO BAD the entire time leading up to the trip that Kevin wasn't going with us. It felt weird ...
Vacation is imminent. Please ignore the black bits on the floor. Our green luggage is reaching the end of its lifespan and everytime I get it out, more plastic crumbles into dust. I haven't used this wardrobe back since our honeymoon in 2008. Not a lot to talk about this last week, I did get the Star Wars dress hem pressed and I also made the waist sash. I mostly spent ...
