We went up and checked out MCFC Saturday! We had a leisurely morning and did a quick white backdrop shoot with Merida while my hair was fresh out of the curlers. It ended up being a yucky, cold and rainy day. I added my black cape to my costume and had to layer up a bit underneath the dress. And you know what, we FORGOT the camera at home :( So ...
So last night we trooped the midnight release of Battlefront 3 at Best Buy! Chase had play practice so I thought I was on my own... until Kevin ended up staying with us last night. Yay! I was going to put him in Luke, but he arrived at my house with a big fuzzy beard. So I pulled the jedi out for him to wear. Unfortunately the belt was MIA and ...
I got Merida mostly finished! I got the eyelets set into the neck with Chase's help though I cut one opening too big and after a freak out spiral I ended up having to go back and wrap each eyelet in embroidery floss to fix it, but in the end it looks good and there's no visible metal eyelets, so that's nice. I got the neckline and sleeve chiffon added ...
So last night I had to wait until Chase got home and we were done with dinner so he could help me get the box of leather scraps - they were on the top shelf with a bunch of stuff in front of it. But once he did I was so happy to find not one but two scraps of leftover Boushh pants fabric that were wide and long enough ...
This is becoming much more involved than I had intended it to be... but only because I'm so pleased with it. So the other day I realized I had a great blue/green scarf that would look really nice as part of the sash. I hate to sacrifice it to the costume gods (I bought it on our 2012 Disney trip... so it would give my merida costume a hidden Mickey :) ) ...
I worked on getting Merida mostly finished this weekend. Here she was on Friday: I had to get the other sleeve made and finished - I had all the pieces cut, so I figured it would be fairly easy, but it wasn't. I had a hard time getting them to look the same and be even - I need to stop doing that and start making things like that at ...
Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone... Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head...) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn't matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds I wear it when trying it on. I always need to ...
I decided last night it was time to clean my sewing room top to bottom... as usual throughout the summer working on Dragoncon costumes things just get stuffed in places and things get disorganized, so it was time to redo! At first I was just going to clean up the two fabric bins I keep in my office for "current projects" - which at this point, are just receptacles for ...
Halloween was fun! So, Friday, I "dressed up" for work. Basically I wore my Janet Snakehole wig and my April Ludgate work ID. Even thought it was just me and my boss in the office so I don't know why I bothered! LOL And then Kevin tried on my wig... We thought about going out Friday night since there were a couple of fun things we'd heard about, but we ...
So yesterday morning I had a little migraine and I took my medicine and ate my breakfast and usually after that, everything is cool. Well the medicine didn't do anything and all morning it kept getting worse and worse. I hadn't brought any more medicine with me because usually one dose is enough to at least last me through lunch. I tried to hold on til it was lunchtime so ...
