Christmas!
Got to leave work an hour and a half early yesterday, so spent a nice night just finishing up presents. Indy was being snoopy as usual: The tree last night… And Chase made these pan smores last night and they were GOOD: Then spent today at my Mema’s house for Christmas! My little American Girl doll-sized dresses thankfully fit. Here’s…

Christmas Cards
More art stuff! Wow! Well a few weeks ago I was trolling around on ebay looking for Disney-themed Christmas Cards to buy. I came across an auction for a 1962 Walt Disney staff Christmas card (which is still on ebay right now if anyone has $55 to spare). I thought it was really cute and sent it to Chase saying,…

2013 Year in Review
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

Artwork stuff
I revisited some of my 365 princess pics from a couple of years ago and fixed some things I didn’t like. Here’s the first of the fixed versions: Snow White still looks a little awkward but I fixed some of the problem with her neck and eyes. Cinderella got a head-reposition, hair colour fix, etc. Aurora’s dress colour got changed,…

2 spooky m8
Last night I woke up at 12:30 in the morning and there was a light on in the hallway. It freaked me out, because we’d had people over that evening, and left the front door unlocked while people came and went. My paranoid mind immediately went to, “someone snuck into the house and hid” so I woke Chase up, but…

Happy Thanksgiving
I had a very nice Thanksgiving break. Chase and I cooked ourselves a mini Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us that night (after family lunch earlier in the day). It was really good and we still have leftovers after eating on them all weekend. The rest of the weekend was cleaning, errands, and our “Friends-giving” yesterday night which…

FAQ Friday: Cleaning your costumes
Today’s question is… How do yo keep your costumes clean? I’m going to start this off with a story. Several years ago, I bought a used costume piece from someone. I figured it would make things easier and cheaper than buying it new/making it myself. Well, first it was like pulling teeth to get this person to mail it to…

Random thoughts
So, pretty much all the time I’m wearing a costume dress or skirt, I’ve probably also got shorts or pants on underneath it. Or, sometimes, for whatever reason, wearing jeans or something over a superhero costume. Exhibit A, B, and C: And for whatever reason, guys tend to want to comment on this in a condescending, snarky way. (I haven’t…

Batgirl Pics
I’m in love with the shots we took on the white back drop after MCFC! There were so many I liked I had trouble weeding them down to pick out which ones to post. But here’s a few. My favourites are up in my portfolio and the rest are over at my flickr account.

Um, no
Several several years ago, our local newspaper posted an article about one of our local cons. I found it by happenstance, just from googling around afterwards looking for pics. Well, they had used an AP photo from San Diego Comic Con for the article. That was the only image for the whole article. And I’m like, as long as this…

MCFC!
Been busy the past few days! But Saturday we headed over to MCFC for a few hours, and it was a lot of fun. I wore Batgirl. Although since I’d curled my hair AND it was warmer out than I’d thought it would be (thus I was quite toasty) I never wore the cowl at the con, just carried it.…

Weirdness
Strange coincidence. Or maybe not? All I can guess is strange coincidence. Hotel for the convention I’m going to tomorrow calls me on my cell phone yesterday. I didn’t answer since I didn’t recognize the number, but googled it afterwards to see who it was. No voicemail left. That wouldn’t be all that unusual except I don’t have a room…

The saga of my sunglasses
So I am really bad about sunglasses. I’ve never been into them that much – I’ll occasionally buy a pair, and then either decide I look silly in them and never wear them, or forget them, or lose them immediately. Never really mattered since I don’t care about sunglasses anyway. Well one day while swimming at my aunt’s pool, it…

GMX 2013
Well it’s a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the…

Halloween, part 2
Yesterday’s weather was awful. It rained and stormed all day, with high winds. Last year we didn’t have as many trick-or-treaters as before and the weather was fine, so I figured, this bad weather is going to chase the bulk of them off – I’ll be surprised if we get 5 trick-or-treaters. At least we had good candy that would…
