Well, the worst of the jacket. I still have the terrifying pants to START ON. But before I get into all that let's do the usual rewind back into last week. Even though most of what was happening last week ...

a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's been raining like crazy here the past couple of weeks. Which means it's been migraine city as the weather shifts back and forth. This weekend was rather uneventful. I mostly worked on Chase's suit since I was waiting on the new fabric for recutting the top of my dress. New fabric came in Friday but I was on a good roll with the suit so I didn't pause to ...

i am ready for orlando

Another month & a half til vacation but I'm ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I'm tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine's Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier's beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a HUUUUUGE amount and it wasn't great. But this time it ...

it’s a very whiny post

Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let's start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin's bed assembled! I'm hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And get some curtains up in there - his room is ...

it’s 2 posts in one day

and that's only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don't really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn't really do anything in the evenings. One evening last week I got sucked into watching some "Sims 4 100 Baby ...

Another year, another year in review! 2018 was a crazy year of packing and moving.

So to start off with, here are the projects I said I wanted to do in 2018... 1. Finish new Leia - Sort of. 2. New TFA Leia underdress - YES! I ...

shalalalala my oh my

OK! So in my last post I talked about being done with the Little Mermaid costumes! Well, Monday afternoon I rode with mom over to the theater to help add some straps to the mermaid tops - even though the mermaids were all wearing black leotards under the tops they were still having some issues keeping them on and in place, so we just added some quick black straps to ...

that girl sheds like a labrador

THE PLAY IS OVER! It was really fun but I'm glad it's over! I totally stole the pic in my blog header because it was a great pic of the whole cast showing the whole stage. Program cover which I drew in case you couldn't tell. I had about 30 seconds of time onstage where I needed to look like I was doing something while sitting in a chair, so I ...

so many puppy pictures

I hope everybody had a nice thanksgiving! Let's start off with my overdue Amidala photos. First, a few from the con. Fancy couch (I want one like this) I probably posted this one last week but oh well. And at Overton: "I want to take a picture in that chair" And now on with the show. Monday I finished up Ursula! Took it up to the school and thankfully it ...

so magical

I don't have a ton to post today. Despite Saturday being a con day. Last week was play practices, me feeling crappy, going to see Fantastic Beasts 2. This BP medicine they put me on is killing me, just a constant nagging exhaustion and headache all the time. Fantastic Beasts 2 was fun. Not my favourite but it was fun and I liked the costumes. Saw one I want to make, I ...
