SDCC 2006 Funny
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Just a random story to share. Here’s a photo from San Diego Comic Con 2006: This was our third and last Comic Con, and the only one Chase went to. I took my Stormtrooper armor to wear to the 501st photo – only my second time wearing it. Chase had his brand new…

I also already got my gift card for winning one of the categories in the bbcamerica costume contest, already spent it and got what I picked in the mail wednesday! The Character Building set of all the doctors 🙂 Chase & I picked it out together since I…

House Work: Bedroom finished!
and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

House Work: Painting the Bedroom
Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

Cleaning my Sewing Room, etc
Still working on getting my sewing room straightened up and organized. Chase put my new shelves up last night, so I put my bead jars on them – this was the plan from the start, but it took me 2 years to finally get around to getting the shelves. I think I might get one more small one, because I…

Halloween 2011
Put on Snow White to hand out candy tonight – ran out of candy way sooner than we expected! My favourite was an older kid wearing a gorilla mask and a convict-type suit, carrying a Disney Princess bag. He didn’t say anything but kept pointing to Snow White on his bag excitedly, LOL. Here’s our pumpkins – Snow White –…

Our Pumpkins – 2011
We went and picked out pumpkins last night and carved them! Well, Chase and Ash carved pumpkins, I emptied ours out (the only part I like) and then sat in the living room and watched Simpsons’ Halloween specials until they were done LOL Ash did a Cyberman: And Chase did one of ours, Mike Wazowski: We’re also doing a Sully…

GMX 2011 Pics
Here’s a handful of pics from GMX – didn’t take a lot. Me as Donna and Kevin as 11 in front of the TARDIS: A cool weeping angel, and the MST3k bots! We broke K-9 out for about a half hour on Sunday before we left. I didn’t wear Wonder Woman and didn’t get any pics of Rose. I’ll wear…

One more Wonder Woman update
Leaving for GMX tonight, so last WW update! Chase finished my Wonder Woman chestpiece and tiara, and he’s finishing the belt today. Here they are yesterday afternoon: Finished up Ash’s Ood jacket but really not happy with it; definitely remaking it before Dcon next year. So, since 4 people and K-9 take up quite a bit of space, I’m only…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress, Doctor Who, etc
done! (almost) Bodice is done except for a few little places I need to clean up. Now onto finishing the bottoms and boots, and finishing Ashley’s Ood jacket. Yesterday we finished shopping for my cousin’s budget 11th Doctor costume. Found a Stetson pretty cheap, and a decent “look a like” pair of boots which we’re going to polish to be…

home alone… time to dress up the dog
I was home along last night since Chase was shooting, so I remade the outside layer of my bodice. (pluuss I got the fabric for $5 and it’s what I wanted originally, the same as I used for my 2009 Wonder Woman, couldn’t find it first time I went shopping for this.) So anyway, I got it cut out thursday…

Orko Tutorial
Orko is one of my favourite things I’ve made over the years so I’m happy to do this little write up for mermush on twitter. It’s been a while since I made him so I’m sorry if I forget anything/something doesn’t make sense! Everything I used: a small teddy bear a small bouncy ball for the head Doll’s straw hat…

More DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
I went over the decorative stitching again last night and it’s much more visible now. The flash still blows it out, so it’s hard to take a picture of like this. I sewed my bra cups into the base also: Another shot of the outer piece: I’m really not happy with the fabric I got for the outside anymore, even…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
Last night I put the main bodice together and did the decorative stitching on it. Heres my guidelines drawn on the wrong side: Here’s the 3 layers pinned together, with the stitching done: But it’s a little hard to see. I’m going to go back over the lines again tonight and see if that helps. Heres a closeup of the…

Making my DCNU Wonder Woman Costume
I started on my GMX costume, DCnU Wonder Woman, this weekend. Here’s my fabric: Red canvas & cotton for the interior of the bodice, red matte satin for the outside. Navy blue spandex for the bottoms. I also bought a pair of navy blue leggings to do the pants version also – I don’t know if I’ll have time to…

birthday stuff!
I haven’t posted about my birthday – I’m a little behind, my birthday was two weeks ago, LOL. But it was a fun one. Woke up that morning to Chase having decorated the living room, and with my presents on the coffee table…. He got me an Adipose, which was like the one thing I asked for, Disney Beauty &…

New Photos: Donna, Emma, Jane, etc
I’m sorry I still haven’t finished the site! It took longer than I expected to move my content over (which is done!), so I still have finished it, looks-wise. I do have some updates – all of my Dragoncon costumes are up of course, and I have new photos for Jane, Mara Jade as Arica, Donna Noble, Ms Marvel, Lady…
