its a bittersweet symphony

I don't have a ton to post about this week! Didn't do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here's the outer grey piece and the lining/batting piece laid out. I actually got pretty close ...

Leia debut/updates, art, the usual

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 ...

Sci-Fi Night, Leia progress, etc

It's the usual post-weekend Monday update. First up! Saturday night we went to Sci-Fi night with the Riverkings. When they say "take a silly picture" I never know what to do LOL It was fun, Chase wants to go to another game just to sit and watch. Which brings me to Leia updates.... This was probably the second-to-last troop for my Leia costume. I figure The Last Jedi opening night ...

Happy Monday!

Hey I have apparently never called a post "Happy Monday" before, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Started off the weekend with a bang when I broke a crown eating lunch on friday. I've already had so much dental work this year and so much more to come that it's just like, piling on. At least I'll be close to my deductible after the next round ...

Yeah, go to Jackson, go comb your hair

Spent the weekend in Jackson! Had a great time. Friday night we just picked up dinner and ate at my grandparent's which worked out great because I was able to watch RuPaul's Drag Race (I thought I'd have to wait til I got home Sunday). Played some battlefront with Chase, he hated it. But at least he played. Saturday we had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then ran to Joann. ...

Pink Palace event

Yesterday we did a little event at the Pink Palace! One of my fav places in the world. Since it was earlier in the day, Chase couldn't get off in time for it so mom drove us over. (After New Year's Eve I refuse to drive in costume unless I absolutely have to LOL) Since it was a Deep Space theme she wore her flight suit! (If you've ever wondered ...

Happy New Year!

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 ...

Glinda, and Frozen

Part One: Glinda I finished up the Glinda bodice Saturday! Friday night I had a near panic attack over the ribbons, because as I got to the end I realized I was running shorter than I expected. As I got to the last segment I was two strips short. But, I had 6 stripes on the left side of the back, and only 4 on the unfinished right side - so I ...

Bricks and Minifigs Event

Got Chase's pics from Saturday uploaded! Sometimes when I know I'm in the background of a photo Chase is taking I just stare at him. Trying to convince a little boy which Star Wars Lego he should get... I was pushing for Leia... the stormtroopers were pushing for more stormtroopers.

Memphis Redbirds Star Wars Night!

I haven't gotten to troop this event since 2010, because they usually hold it right before Dragon Con when I'm sequestered to my sewing room. This year it was in May so I finally got to participate again! Leia problems: I can't get my sunglasses all the way on with the buns. They usually get stuck at some point so I have to wear them like this because some sunglasses is ...
