Saturday I said goodbye to my old Honda Fit... And said "HELLO!" to my brand new mini cooper! OH MY GOD it's so cute I can't stand it. I'm currently sitting with naming it Agent Dale Cooper and calling it "Coop." I did also test drive the larger countryman version, and it drove pretty much the same, but at the end of the day I liked the look of this ...
Sorry I'm a day late! Chase just sent me the pics he took of my Valkyrie costume Saturday last night so I wanted to wait til i had those to post. But before i get to Valkyrie let's rewind to last week! First up look at all this fabric I donated! I was able to give all of this to an art teacher who has a sewing machine in her ...
It's not just any monday it's the monday before my ~~**BIRTHDAY**~~ I kinda forgot about it honestly because it's just not been on my brain. I've been kinda stressed out. Sewing room clean up continues. Finished putting the closet back together. Got a new bin to fit the homeless costumes in and reorganized everything that was hanging up. Now we're onto the fabric clean-up. Cleaned out all my fabric storage ...
Virgo Season is in FULL EFFECT. And i've decided i'm just gonna stay in virgo season for the rest of my life. It's a state of mind. Since i posted so late last week I don't have much to post about this week. This is one of the few things i bought at Dcon. I was thinking it was the ONLY thing because I'd completely forgotten the other things I'd ...
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a panic attack wearing it at dcon 2015 - it was too hot, it ...
Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn't come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don't feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let's recap it all.... I can't remember if I posted our badge ribbons we were handing out? I was giving out bun ...
I really don't have much to post today, no real costume updates to mention. This past week has mostly just been slowly packing, and helping Chase finish up Vader: He finally got to try it all on last night. The only thing that didn't work was his shinguards, so after this pic we replaced the strapping with something different that worked better. He's worried the head is too big and ...
Well not quite but it's close enough. I'm in good shape. Here's a random pic I took of the jedi Leia tunic last week just for IG. No updates here. Got a new button cover kit last week, so I replaced Padme's cuff buttons for a 3rd time. Please I never want to do this again. Luna supervised. Finished all my little updates on wedding Leia. Since the April photoshoot ...
Work is really trying my patience. I'm soooo ready to go. I need a break from work, a week out of the house. Well of course, I don't really have much to post about since I'm pretty much DONE. I'm just gonna go through this weeks pics one at a time in no order. Ok so first up let's talk Christmas decorations because I have 2 new ones I really want ...
It feels really good to be almost done with 6 new costumes + soft parts for 2 costumes for Chase nearly a month before Dragoncon. Ok so I'm just gonna go through my pics in order. We finally made our own badge ribbons to hand out this year! Obviously I'll be handing out the Space Bun Club ribbons LOL And Chase will have the Laszlo ones. Got out the wig I bought for ...
