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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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…

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…

MidSouthCon 2018!
I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let’s back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin’s Peter Pan. As it turned out it was lucky I had that day off because we ended up having to have a dishwasher repairman come by (our…

My fingertips are burnt off
Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That’s how they feel today. So yeah that’s mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn’t use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading.…

Peter Pan Pants Pattern
I hope nobody finds this post by googling “Peter Pan Pants Pattern” because I’m not actually talking about Peter Pan’s pants pattern. It’s just something Kevin and I kept saying last weekend as a tongue twister LOL So I’ve spent the bulk of this week focusing on finishing up Peter Pan. Tuesday I was all like “I’m going to finish…

A 4 day weekend…
Ahh gosh I don’t remember what I posted about last time. Last week was mostly working on the Leia I was making for a friend. That’s my new one on the left, hers on the right. I got it finished up on Thursday – and now I want to redo parts of mine, LOL. Namely that I made the dress…

Ranking Padme’s Costumes
I don’t know why but I got the thought in my head to make a post ranking all of Padme’s costumes. I thought it would be fun. It ended up being really hard, LOL. Because honestly there’s nothing I dislike. If given the chance I would make probably any of these. I think they are all pretty in their own…

80s Murder Mystery, House stuff, Leia progress
Friday night we had a birthday party to go to! And we were going to be playing an 80s Murder Mystery game, so we had to come as our characters. I was “Toni Oregano” who had 1 hit with “Hey Dickie” and who also ran a mogwai rescue. LOL. Chase was “Nork from Pork” who was on a popular tv…

Happy Birthday Sims
When I did my birthday blog stuff last month, I had considered doing a post just about Sims stuff… but decided I didn’t have enough content and just folded some of it into the “weird stuff” post. But then today I found out the Sims turned 18 on Feb 4! So what the heck, I thought I’d go ahead and…

a waste of a day
Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me… I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can…

OK SO!
Birthday blog month is over. Site look has been updated. Still need to update the art segment but I’ll get to that in a bit here. Back to Tink! Round one of dyeing didn’t turn out dark enough. So back in the dye once more. Better. I was left looking like I was ready to play Elphaba though. I didn’t…

Birthday Blog: Thank You!
So I know that my site and blog have changed a lot over 20 years. From fanart, SunDowner and screaming about college in 3 posts a day, to 2 years worth of online quiz results, to talking about nothing but costumes and housework. (Seriously you guys have no idea how many quiz result posts from 2007-2009 I deleted when I…
