Originally I named this post "work work work" but then the permalink came up as "work-work-work-5" which means I've named 4 other posts at some time or another "work work work" so I changed it to Sewing McSewerson. Even though I didn't actually do any sewing this weekend but I did a lot of embroidery so that counts. We stayed in pretty much all weekend. Got out Saturday morning and ran ...
We had to buy a new printer. Ours kicked the bucket. Boo! I've got a ton of stuff to print for VisionCon so we ordered a new one and it should arrive tomorrow. Yay. I got two nice 8x10 display portfolios for Christmas that I'm going to print off a lot of my costume photos to display on my table at VisionCon. I thought it would be a nice way ...
A friend on instagram asked how I did my Padme lake dress hair, and I thought it would be way easier to answer over here where I could type everything out and post pictures easier than trying to type on my phone on instagram. I've never done a full tutorial on how I did this hair, BUT I have drawn a little diagram about it that I've sent to people ...
So Friday we got snow! Not a lot but it was enough to make driving a little scary. Unfortunately we didn't get a snow day :( I worked all day, Chase most of the day. So besides that I have two sets of costume updates - Bespin Leia (AKA the bad) and Dolores (AKA the good). Which do I start with? I'll start with Bespin. So I was making really good ...
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017... UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence... sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn't wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more medicine, ate, slept for 10 minutes and came back feeling better. Or ...
It's a super random post today. First up, I've already talked about Carrie Fisher's passing both on FB and instagram so I'm not going to do it here. I don't want to talk about it no mo. In happier news we booked our hotel for Celebration. We are going to do 3 days at Disney, 1 at Universal, and 1 at the con. Hopefully. Staying at my favourite place of favourite places, Port ...
I got a good bit of work done last night! I started out by first off - fixing my ceremonial Leia belt. I got it out to take a photo last night and discovered one of the button covers on the conchos had popped off and nowhere was to be found. First time that's ever happened with any of my Leia belts. Thankfully I have a gazillion extra of those ...
I was going to say "it's a little early for my year in review" but when I went back to look at last year's to get my old plans, I did that one on 12/18! And this one is on 12/21 so I don't think it's early at all anymore. Ha! So last year I said this would be this year's plans... let's see how what I accomplished. 1. Georgian Belle fixes Nope... ...
This was a busy weekend! Saturday we spent the whole day running errands and Christmas shopping, pausing in the afternoon to go bowling for Ash's birthday! I haven't been bowling in probably a decade, so that was very interesting, LOL. None of us did very well but it was fun. Then some more shopping and then dinner for Ash's birthday! It was chicken spaghetti OMG yum! I ate way too ...
more like Rogue FUN! First up, finished up Glinda and got it sent off, it fit perfectly, yay! Now I REALLY need my dressform back from mom. I finally made a little bit of progress on Bespin Leia. I really wanted to transfer one of my patterns over to some junk fabric so I could see how the spacing was going to look before I did it on my expensive ...
