I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted this week…
I usually post Monday and apparently I didn’t since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I’m going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about… yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

Birthday Blog: Thank You!
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…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2011-2017
So now we are entering the “modern” era of my artwork. And I’ve actually been producing quite a bit more the past few years than I did in 2005-2009… it just took a bit to get there. I produced absolutely no art whatsoever in 2014, only year for that to happen… February 28, 2011 – ART POST: DOCTOR WHO I…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2005-2010
So… yeah… my art output really dropped off through 2004 and then even worse into 2005. Let’s see what I can even find to post. February 11, 2005 – ART POST: JAMES AND LILY (HARRY POTTER) This was the last year I did something for the HP Valentine’s Project. April 18, 2005 – SUESSICAL POSTER This was one of my…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2000-2001
So now we move onto my favourite art of 2000 and 2001 — this post covers the smallest amount of time I’ll be doing this week, because there was SO MUCH ART these two years. At this point I had 2 issues of SunDowner under my belt and finally felt like I was getting comfortable in my drawing style –…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 1997-1999
This week for my Birthday Blog Bash, I’m going to be featuring some of my favourite art from over the years. Considering my site really got its start as my art portfolio (before moving into costuming), there’s a LOT to cover in the earlier years. So this post will cover the earliest — 1997 through 1999. Obviously I have no…

I have gazillion things to post
Wow I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start… We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little…

it’s almost time
It’s dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I’ve got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I’m still hand-sewing on it… I’ve got a space left for it…

we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
Finished up a few things last night. Got it all packed up. Still working on Lucy’s headdress — but I think that’s about it at this point. I’ve got to finish the handsewing on that and it’s taking forever and making my fingers ache. Everything is packed except for that lower part of the headdress (that I’m still sewing on),…

a gigantic post
Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they’re not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I’m lazy. It never fails that anytime I’m in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, “Ok, let’s play…

turn around bright eyes
I’m not off work today unlike my entire family so I’ll be watching the eclipse from the parking lot at work. And I don’t have any glasses or anything so I won’t actually see the eclipse. I do have some welding glass but according to what I’ve read it’s not dark enough. And I also forgot to get new breakfast…

ugggggggggh
I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating. I really don’t have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I’ll…

i need a nap and pizza
Everything is back to normal in our house. Luna is no longer in hiding. We will try again after Dragon Con. I was just exhausted yesterday and ended up with another flipping migraine. Still got a decent amount of work done on the hat. Can’t show any photos tho. Sorrrrrrrry. I bought some big pearls for this project and can’t…

whooooooooa
Hi! First up is the great news that my international shipment of stuff for the Pink Thing IS IN THE US!! It went through customs yesterday!! The projected delivery date was 8/8-8/22 and 8/22 was pushing it WAY too late so I’m so relieved that it’s here in the states and hopefully will start moving my way later today/tomorrow. I…

Pink satin, Misato and Luna
I got my Misato pics uploaded! This is now officially the oldest costume we’ve shot on the white backdrop – beating out Lum by a couple of months. Like I said in the last post, I shot with my natural tone wig first. And then switched to the original purple wig. I decided to wear these black combat boots from…
