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 ...

10 years

Thursday last week was our 10th wedding anniversary!! It's crazy to think it's been 10 years! On Thursday I posted all my fav wedding pics to my instagram story.... I've had a few friends get married recently and seeing their day on social media made me sad I didn't get to do that (since instagram didn't exist when we got married and it'd be another year before we got our first ...

Some Tinkerbell, some art

I put off posting yesterday hoping I'd have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I've only got about half so far... but I'm gonna go ahead and post today anyway. I've still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven't stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move stuff every day after work... we got over half of ...

i dont know what we’re yelling about

First off, a couple of new art things. Padme's pilot disguise from 2010: New: Dressing robe from 2010: New: This stupid one I did the painting on TWICE. I got the linework and flat colour done and backed up. Then did everything else Wednesday night, got it about 95% done. Tried to open it up last night to put the finishing touches on and the file was corrupted. ARRGH. Tried a bunch of ...

packing, moving, stress

Sooo start off with... I TRIED to sew this weekend and my brain was just so full of everything we need to do that I just couldn't focus. I did kinda start playing with a mockup for Crait Leia. Didn't get very far. Went to the fabric store Friday night and got some heavy weight fabric to use as maybe a lining for it (sandwiched between the fashion fabric and ...

a very hairy easter

I have absolutely no costume stuff to talk about today. Chase was going to Nashville this weekend, and originally I was going to stay home and get started on Amidala and Crait Leia. But at the last minute I decided to go to my grandparents for the weekend instead. It worked out nicely; Chase was able to take my car to Nashville (which saved a ton on gas), and he ...

I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted this week…

I usually post Monday and apparently I didn't since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I'm going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about... yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...

An update & an art dump

First up I FINALLY got the Tinkerbell portfolio page put up -- it's here! Only took me all week! Beyond that I have nothing to talk about in terms of costumes. I got my sewing room cleaned up. Packed up some stuff in there that wasn't necessary - IE, in my cabinet I have all my music CDS on the top shelf, that just collect dust. So I packed those ...

its the update

I have a bunch of stuff to post. Buckle in! First loooook what came in the mail last week! I'm finally gonna retire my old Hermione. Been wanting to for a few years now! I bought Luna's wand back in 2015 intending to start on a Luna costume and just never have... but now I have a sweater and a patch... I'll probably start collecting more stuff for it later this ...
