i hate tile

This is going to sound weird but I really hate tile. I mean like tile on the floor, like kitchen or bathroom floors. It just grosses me out for some reason. It goes back to when I was little, and I would stay with my grandparents every day while my parents were at work, and my grandma's kitchen was this weird tile. They were not square tiles but different shapes ...

Sewing Room Sketch

So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things - I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff done before I tackle what I want done ...

The Costume Closet is Finished

I know folks are probably tired of hearing about my stupid closet, but it's finally finished! So I'm going to go over it once more :) So a question I get asked a lot is "Where do you keep all of your costumes?" When I lived with my parents, the question was pretty easy to answer - we had converted a small half bath into a closet for me to keep ...

Padme Funeral art & Closet progress

Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can't find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I'm back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do - haven't seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and small costumes like Lum that I'm not worried about - probably ...

moo cards!

My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons - not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out - but hopefully I'll remember them at dcon this year. I put as many of them on as I could last night, and was ...

More Closet work, and Boushh art

So yesterday when I got home I cleared out the closet in the prop room and started moving my boxes in. Right now I've just got index cards taped to the outside until I get the rest of my moo cards in (hopefully they'll be here tomorrow.) I need to unpack about 2 more big bins, and everything is pretty much done. I'm excited with how it's turned out. (Now I ...

Organizing my Costume Closet

first, today's princess, Padme again :) Last night I really dug in and got all of the costumes I have here right now into boxes. It's a mess! But it's mostly done. I need to go get a few more bins of stuff from my parent's house tomorrow, I reckon I've got about 20 costumes not currently in a new bin. Kevin has been with us this weekend so I didn't want ...

Tackling the Costume Closet

So I've finally dug in and really started my costume re-organization project. To recap - When I lived at my parents house, we converted a half bath into a walk-in closet once they outgrew my room. (And, I swear I used to have a picture of it where it didn't look like crap. Like one of what it looked like when it was clean. But I can't find it, so ...

House updates, Anaheim Comic Con pics!

I forgot to post pics of our (almost) finished kitchen! The cabinets are done and they're up! I'll get a better pic with a real camera soon. I'm really happy with it. Now to hang stuff on the other end of the kitchen and our curtains and it's done. Also, I cleaned up the prop room... Still a little messy but way better than it was. While I'm posting, here's ...

More Jane progress, kitchen updates

I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane's top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I've got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the belt piece on. Btw, here's pics of our kitchen cabinets ...
