I sewed a little over the weekend, but not a lot. I got the design for the front panel of my Arianna dress finished and uploaded to spoonflower... but then couldn't find my spoonflower sample book. I'm pretty sure I want to do the Cotton Sateen, but I really wanted to feel the material first. Stupid sample book has been in my desk drawer for over a year, and now ...
Last night Chase helped me boil a ton of water and put it in a bin (because I don't have a pot big enough to properly do the stove top method) so I could dye all of my fabric. The dye took pretty quick. I did leave it in for about 30 minutes, but there wasn't anymore colour change between 5 minutes and 30 minutes. Chase hung a line up on the back ...
So back to the saga of my Rapunzel's mom costume (ok I Just googled it and apparently the king and queen finally have names thanks to the upcoming cartoon series? King Frederic and Queen Arianna. Thank goodness, that's so much easier to say than "my Rapunzel's mom costume.") Friday night I went and dug out the pattern I wanted to use for it, to see if the scrap of fabric ...
I've finished my Disneybound Leia costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Chase & I bought our Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets yesterday... ya'll don't understand, I have wanted to go to this for AGES but with it falling right after Dragon Con every year, it was just a no-go, money-wise and vacation-time wise. Since we're severely cutting back on Dcon this year, we are finally going to be able to go !! We've known what costumes we've wanted to do ...
I've finished my Edith (Crimson Peak) costume and have added it to my portfolio!
I've gotten my portfolio updated -- I added Disneybound Leia and Edith! And I got Chase's photos uploaded! Brainfreeze: Me & Kev Me and Kev Part 2 Walking thru Hollywood Studios Oddly enough, this is now the 2nd photo we have of Kevin being menaced by a blow-up Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. This Guardian of the Galaxy group was one of my favs: Me and Kev, Part 3 And now a bunch ...

TOT ride photo... there is something going ...
Saturday morning I was up and getting in costume, while Chase got Kevin into his Luke costume. Thankfully, Edith was easy to get into. Like I (think I) mentioned the other day, I decided to forego the wound prosthetics, which made getting ready much faster. We got to the convention center early, and..... parked in the wrong parking lot. We parked at the wrong concourse, but by the time we ...
Wednesday after work, Kev and I started loading the car waiting on Chase to get home. It was raining which didn't make it an easy job! Kevin thought we were just going to the convention. He had noooo clue. Nana & Kristie got him a Stefon shirt for the trip! That night we stopped in Columbus, GA for a quick overnight stop - we got in around 11:30, back up and ...
