Sketchblog: Marie Antoinette
Basic ideas for my Marie Antoinette costume. It’s not fully coloured in — it was just me working out what I wanted to do.

MidSouthCon 2011 Plans
With Seattle behind me, I’m planning for MidSouthCon at the end of the month now. I’ve been steady working on my new costume for it – I feel like I’m right on track to get it done in time. I’m pretty excited about it. Chase is doing quite a bit of it for me, and I’m excited to see the…

Seattle trip, ECCC
We’re home! We really had a great trip. I got to see where Chase lived and went to school when he was in Seattle, see his friends who still live there, and the con was a lot of fun. I don’t have any pics from the “real” camera yet, but I’ll post a few from my camera phone. We got…

now and then
This past weekend I was home alone. Chase was in Reelfoot taking pics. I spent the weekend working on stuff, and I had a shower Saturday afternoon. I spent saturday night at my parent’s house, and helped mom with her costumes for her upcoming play. Sunday I wasn’t feeling good, I think I had a sinus thing going on, so…

Art Post: Doctor Who
I have more to post but no time today; trying to finish up last minute things for our trip. But over the past week or so I scanned in the sketch I did for chase for valentine’s day, cleaned up and re-coloured it.

dreams
last night i dreamt i was on a road trip with my grandparents. We were out in the country and spent the night at my old high school. I got up in the morning and went into the bathroom, and when I did I left my blanket in there. As we were packing up I went back to get it,…

Enchantress mask
costume updates: last night I put the straps on the bodice. I wasn’t going to, but the cotton base of the whole thing ripped a bit at one of the grommets. I didn’t use my usual cotton, it was a much thinner cotton, and I think that was the problem. I reinforced it, but to keep from having to put…

Enchantress pants!!
love was such an easy game to play! for real I did nothing interesting yesterday. Chase was gone shooting the tennis tournament nearly all day. I did laundry all day (managed to do all of it!!) and sewed. Worked on my puzzle. My parents and Ash and her parents came over to watch the Tiger game which SUCKED. Not that…

Enchantress progress!
what’s left: adjusting the gloves. they’re a little too long, I need to take some of the length off so the top sits right. will take about 5 minutes. belt fit. I just made an extra long belt, I need to put it on me with the bodice and cut off the extra length and put some velcro on. finish…

Art Post: valentine’s day
Had a nice, laid back valentine’s day yesterday 🙂 Chase got home, and had gotten me flowers! Yay! They’re really pretty, I need to get my puzzle finished and off the dining room table so I can set them out for everyone to see. We went ahead and opened out gifts from one another. I’d gotten him this lego X-Wing…

my day off!! :D
I had today off! OMG I was so excited over it, LOL. Went and got my haircut this morning. Not too much, since I’m growing it out for my Donna costume. Showed her to the guy who cuts my hair, Frankie, and he said I wouldn’t have any problem getting that length by then and he’d make sure my bangs…

Enchantress boots progress
I’ve nearly got the bodice done – I’m trying to decide if I want to keep the busk in the front or go without. I’m not liking how it fits with the busk at the moment. I’m thinking it might be better if I shorten it, so Chase is trimming it down for me tonight. Then I’ll see again, if…

snowing!!
It’s snowing AGAIN! I don’t know man. Got to leave work early though so that’s a plus. I’ve got quite a few costumes I could do some nice shots of out in the snow. We don’t get a lot of snow here – usually it’s only like once a year if that – so when it does it’s a great…

Rogue shoe tutorial… kinda
I took these pics when I was making my Rogue boots back in 2006 and never posted them. I honestly would do it a little differently now – but I figured I should post them anyway! My Starfire boots were the exact same base boots, just a slightly different boot cover (I wasn’t happy with the Starfire boot covers so…

Enchantress skirt and boots!
As a costumer, I hate that moment when you see someone say, “I’ve never seen anyone do this costume well.” And you’ve done that costume and all you can think is, “omg, did they see mine and think it was crap? Is it crap? maybe they never saw it. or maybe they did and they think it’s crap!!” LOL. Anyway…

green fabric everywhere – Enchantress
I started cutting out my Enchantress bodice. Chase is going to be gone almost all day tomorrow so I’m going to try to get a lot of work done! I may stop and play Harry Potter lego with Kevin for a while though 🙂 I deleted all but two of my Rebel Legion costumes today. feels good man. I didn’t…

Little Rock trip!
I had a great weekend. Friday night went out with friends to a late dinner at Celtic Crossing, and then to a midnight showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was a lot of fun to see it on the big screen, and hearing the whole audience yelling the lines along with the movie. Saturday I got picked…

2011 costumes
So here’s what I’ve got planned for now. March projects: already underway. Enchantress: quick and easy. DC Character: light on sewing. more of a crafty-thing. April projects: Lady Blackhawk: all sewing. Donna: piece-mealed, will probably make the jacket. (I’m hoping to actually start on these in March and move everything up a bit.) May projects: Marie Antoinette: just starting on…

Tim Gunn quotes
These are quotes that stood out to me from Tim Gunn’s book “Gunn’s Golden Rules.” A lot of them really struck a chord with me so I wanted to share. “I reflect on manners, or the lack of them, each and everyday. There are times when I want to stop the world for a moment and ask certain people some…

sims 3, photos, reading, etc
I’ve been reading Tim Gunn’s “Gunn’s Golden Rules” this week, I got it for Christmas and it’s really good. I actually broke out the highlighter and have been highlighting parts I like, so I can post some of my fav quotes here when I’m done. In my office I’ve been planning on having a little collage of some of my…
