White Backdrop To-Do (or To-Don’t)

Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here's a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but you can read along too if you're really curious. Things ...

haul out the holly

Hey look I'm posting on time this week! Which is good because I won't be posting on time next week, it's CHRIMAS. Well first lets post the new photoshoot results. The Scarlet Witch disneybound dress! I did add the sleeves just before the shoot. I wanted to do that as soon as we got back from the cruise, but as usual I put it off til the very last minute. ...

a day late and a dollar short

Well more like 2 days late but at least I made it over here to post. Not a lot to talk about this week but I do at least have new photoshoot pics to share. Last shoot was my 3 retro style dresses plus Pirate Ariel. Like I literally do not care that this is made of parts of other costumes and stuff I bought, I think it's so cute. The Star ...

oops

Didn't post last week! Monday ended up being really busy. So let me try to remember everything from the last 2 weeks. This is why I try not to skip weeks LOL Friday night 2 weeks ago at 1am Chase was having a pain in his midsection and ended up doing a teledoc appt and the teledoc told him to go to the ER. So we went and sat in the ER ...

word vomit

Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin's dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It's a lot. I got a new friend. Luna is not impressed. Chase discovered a Chip and Dale tree ...

hello darkness my old friend

Hi Again. I finished the Shin cloak. Got all the costumes pulled for the first 2 shoots. Went to iron Mara and discovered the back hem was pinned up about an inch with 3 pins (all on the inside.) So I guess I wore it like that at Dragoncon and didn't notice when I steamed it. It looks like I was going to shorten the center back but forgot and just closed ...

wild & free teen angst morning

That's my spotify daylist playlist this morning LOL "You listened to pop and delicate in the morning. Here's some teen angst, teen rock, brat autumn, wild & free, do it for the plot, and teen pop." I had some weird dreams last night. I dreamt I was at the Hyatt at Dragoncon (only dragoncon in my head though, it didn't actually look like the hyatt) and my costumes were spread ...

worldwide epiphany

Did I sew this week? LOL NO I do have a little sewing project I need to get started on this week that is not Shin or Baylan capes, so I'll probably at least get everything back in the attic space and look over my fabric remnants to see if I've got enough to do it or if I need to go shopping. So Chase and I have made some ...
