FIRST AND FOREMOST...... Chase and I took the last big load of my costume stuff out to my parents last Monday night. And... I GOT IT ALL IN THE CLOSET Guysssss... that is like 80% of my costumes all shoved into one closet. I mean I can't GET to anything, but i can't believe I got it all in there. Kept a few things out I'll need over the summer for ...
Thursday last week was our 10th wedding anniversary!! It's crazy to think it's been 10 years! On Thursday I posted all my fav wedding pics to my instagram story.... I've had a few friends get married recently and seeing their day on social media made me sad I didn't get to do that (since instagram didn't exist when we got married and it'd be another year before we got our first ...
I put off posting yesterday hoping I'd have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I've only got about half so far... but I'm gonna go ahead and post today anyway. I've still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven't stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move stuff every day after work... we got over half of ...
First off, a couple of new art things. Padme's pilot disguise from 2010: New: Dressing robe from 2010: New: This stupid one I did the painting on TWICE. I got the linework and flat colour done and backed up. Then did everything else Wednesday night, got it about 95% done. Tried to open it up last night to put the finishing touches on and the file was corrupted. ARRGH. Tried a bunch of ...
Sooo start off with... I TRIED to sew this weekend and my brain was just so full of everything we need to do that I just couldn't focus. I did kinda start playing with a mockup for Crait Leia. Didn't get very far. Went to the fabric store Friday night and got some heavy weight fabric to use as maybe a lining for it (sandwiched between the fashion fabric and ...
It was a busy weekend ANDDDDDDDDDDD I forgot to talk about Chase's birthday in my last post! So I'm back to Monday posting. Thursday was Chase's birthday! We went to Folk's Folly... he has never been I haven't been since prom LOL. It was really good; I wore my tiki bird dress just 'cuz. And I had SUPER good leftovers for lunch Friday LOL. He got a sous vide cooker ...
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 Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...
I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let's back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin's Peter Pan. As it turned out it was lucky I had that day off because we ended up having to have a dishwasher repairman come by (our 1.5 year old dishwasher decided to stop working, wtf), and we ...
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. Hand-sewed down the rest of the mesh along the waist. ...
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 ALL of it tonight!" and then that didn't happen, so ...
