Can it just be time for Dragoncon yet? Tuesday night I got nothing done. Headache was so bad I just laid on the couch and slept until I got up and went to bed. Last night back on the horse, dyed my Donna wig slightly darker, worked on Johanna. Got the top section totally finished - yay! So now I can start on the bottom section. I didn't take any ...
I finished my Johanna wig last night. Then I played with paint on my leather strips, and then I worked on the upper section of the dress. But I didn't take pictures of any of that. I did get up early this morning and cut out some ruffles, gathered them, and pinned them onto one of my insert pieces to see how they were looking. I'm pleased with how fast ...
Last Saturday we did a Spin-a-thon event in MS - Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-man along with some 501st troopers, and we did photo-ops and cheered on the spinners, so it was fun. I wore Wonder Woman which I haven't worn since 2010. I hated my old wig so I wore my Johanna wig, since I hadn't started styling it yet. It's a little short and fluffy but I think it ...
Went to Mema's. Slept, ate, did a fat lot of nothing mostly. And this 2 weeks before dragoncon! But we came home early yesterday (with a sick puppy in tow. I think she over-indulged this weekend and made herself sick. she's still not feeling well.) and I dug in. I mostly finished Fires of Pompeii Donna. It took approximately 2 and 1/4 MST3K episodes. I need to go back and reinforce the ...
Where I'm at Anne Boleyn: Mostly done. Chase is working on the crown. Finished the jewelry last night. Need to try it on once more and make sure the back panel is sitting correctly, and readjust the buttons that aren't sitting right. And get some insoles for my shoes. Peggy: I need to curl the wig again, but otherwise very happy with it. Still need to finish the belt. Noticed ...
I literally.... LITERALLY cannot wrap my brain around how people are so astounded that I take 12 costumes to Dragoncon. Like, I could probably squeeze in 3-4 more without ever feeling crowded. I mean, I can see the other side, I can see how other people only bring 1 costume or no costumes and spend the entire con standing in line for panels and autographs and what have you. That's not my ...
I went home sick again. Feeling worse than the day before, I'm pretty sure it's sinus stuff. But I'm better today, head's still foggy but better. I did get a little work done last night. I got my base shirt for the "wood" part made. Got the front pleats sewn back down correctly. But I forgot to take any kind of pictures. I watched Project Runway on the couch and ...
Yesterday I ended up going home at lunch with a bad migraine. Meds weren't doing much of anything I felt pretty puke-y, probably from trying to take too much medicine. Went home, slept, felt a little better after that and tried to get some work done. Today it's more of the same. I think it's sinus stuff that has turned into a migraine. Anyway. I got my garment rack out ...
I got the top section of chiffon sewn in place and the edges cauterized. Started on the second section - after I took this picture I got it sewn in place, too. Tonight I've got to finish the back edge because it's really hard to pin and work with stuff on it when it's all droopy because there's no closure. I'm going to go ahead and finish the chiffon upper ...
Got my Anne Boleyn jewelry mostly finished last night - got one more pearl to attach - and the crown to go, but that's one thing off my list. I played around with my Johanna chiffon and got at least the top section figured out. It's not going to be exact but at this point I'm just hoping for a finished costume. Tonight I want to go ahead and get ...
