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…

Starting Hippolyta
Starting working on stuff for March – Enchantress for Emerald City Comic Con, and a surprise for MidSouthCon. The surprise is actually going to end up being pretty easy on my sewing side. Enchantress is going to be fairly easy as well – I got my fabric samples for her yesterday and I’m excited 🙂 Here’s what I have going…

snow day, no way
It snowed last night. We got like maybe 4 inches here? Not bad. Not enough to get off work, though. Get to go in late, at least. One of these rare snow days I’ll actually put on Hoth Leia or Snowbunny Padme, but I never feel like it LOL I hate the cold and I hate the snow (it’s only…

puzzles & such
A couple of days ago we passed a homeless man on the side of the road, with his dog. We were stopped at the light and Chase asked if I had any cash – I didn’t. A few weeks ago Chase cleaned out my car, and put all of my change in my cup holders (I don’t have a change…

Random geeky thoughts
So I still haven’t finished Season 4 of Doctor Who. We watched half of “Stolen Earth” last week and that’s the last we’ve seen. Between New Year’s and being sick we just haven’t felt up to it – that and I knowing there’s not much left makes me sad and makes me want to stretch it out LOL But I…

harry potter sims!
I started typing up one of those “end of the year” meme things, but every answer was “I don’t know” or some random unimportant thing, so I deleted it. 2010 was fun but not very interesting, I guess. My vacation is over, back to work today. 🙁 I was sick the better part of the weekend, too, which sucked, and…

New Year’s Eve
Cleaning up Christmas decorations today, and going to eat at my fav place tonight!! (Melting Pot) And then friends coming over later tonight 🙂 I’ve been trying to use my tumblr more lately. As you can see I’ve had it since Nov 2009 and have hardly messed with it. Trying to post more – mostly random stuff off my flickr…
