I have 2 modes
I have 2 modes: 1. DragonCon mode 2. DisneyWorld mode I am one or the other at any given point. Obviously before DragonCon I’m in DragonCon mode. And right before our Disney trip (like now) I’m in Disney mode. Whichever one I’m in, it’s all I can think about it and I know people get tired of hearing me talk…

Sewing Room – finished!
I finally finished everything up last night and at last have a functional sewing room again. Indy is confused at finding she can actually walk into my office: Closet side: Desk side: I still have a ton of photos in frames I need to find a place for, but that can wait. Also need to organize my bins a bit…

new costume tags
Well I made some new tags on my side-menu there so I figured I ought to make a post to go with them… and updates on what I’m working on. 1. Silver Elf I haven’t touched this in a year. Still can’t decide what to do with the sleeves. 2. Elsa I’ve gotten some fabric samples and picked up a…

More sewing room progress
Alllllmost done. A couple of more hours tonight and it should be back to fully functional. Most of the stuff left strewn around my tables and the floor are things I can’t figure out where to put… a lot of the photos were on the wall and I can’t decide if I want to put them back on the wall…

blaaah
I woke up this morning feeling GREAT! Now I’m back to feeling sluggish and tired with a slight headache. Stupid schizo weather. I’ve GOT to get my sewing room finished tonight so I can get some sewing done ASAP – I’ve got a couple of American Girl doll sized costumes to make before this weekend. Which means I probably won’t…

Scary Stories part 2
I forgot this story and something just reminded me of it so I wanted to share it! As you may or may not know, when I was in high school/college I lived in the middle of the country. We lived in about 3 acres and had about 3 neighbors within walking distance – all 3 older couples/retired with no children…

work, work, work
This weekend was kinda busy! Friday night I got all my costumes ready for the photoshoot, which was supposed to be on Saturday. I burnt myself on a glue gun so bad I got a blister! That’s a first. Saturday morning we ran errands, but then it was too cold for us to shoot, so I went to work cleaning…

boy, gee
People saying all kinds of nice things to me today, CosElite included me in their list of Belle village dresses and made my day (PS, CosElite is awesome, go check them out) and then GallifreyDeathZone posted some of my Doctor Who costumes with some very nice comments! My ego is going to get too big for it’s own good at…

FAQ Friday: Renting Costumes
Today’s question is… Can I rent/borrow your costumes? I’m mostly answering this question so I have a post to point people towards when they do actually ask this – usually around Halloween, or people asking to borrow/use my costumes for Halloween parties/events, or fanfilms, photoshoots, etc. I’m going to try to be as nice as possible in this post so…

A cosplay meme because I’m bored
When did you start cosplaying? You could either say 1998 or 1999, depending on how strict your definition of “cosplaying” is. See next question…. What was your first cosplay? 1998 I put together a costume based on my own comic book character. It was the first time in a few years I’d actually made an attempt at a Halloween costume…

Hammering away
More work in my office last night. Tackled the giant pile of fabric and stuff in front of the closet. Didn’t quite get through it but made a dent. Mostly worked on the cabinet — cleaned it out, got rid of some stuff, found $30 worth of change and a ton of foreign money. Moved all my CDs up there,…

More cleaning
I don’t know what’s less interesting, photos of my puzzles or photos of cleaning. But! I worked in my office last night and got my sewing table cleaned up and put up some new shelves. Still have one more little shelf to put up on the left over there, drill ran out of power before we could finish. While looking…

FAQ Friday: Repair Kit
Today’s question is… What’s in your repair kit? My repair kit is pretty subjective to the costumes I’m taking; I tend to think of what can go wrong on this costume, and make sure I bring stuff to repair it if need be. My husband also carries a completely separate repair kit of his own, and I never know what’s…

Organization
Trying to get my sewing room clean; it’s slow going. I’ve been trying to tackle it for over a month now. I did have to rearrange my patterns. I was bursting at the seams – I used to keep them in 3 little fabric square drawers, with some oversized ones stuffed under one of my chest-of-drawers and more in plastic…

Donna wig
I got my new Donna wig in!!! It was so cold out yesterday that when I got it out the mail and opened it up and put it on my head, it was like putting a block of ice on my head. I trimmed the bangs up real quick, and straightened it a bit. The bangs still need some clean-up…

FastPass Barf
So this morning I got to go make our FastPass+ reservations and I was all excited… until I actually started trying to make reservations. Part of this I’m going to chalk up the fact I didn’t completely do my research. I read about it partly; and I made some assumptions on how it worked. Some of it is just the…

Christmas, again
Christmas day was fun but exhausting! Woke up at 6:30 because poor Indy had wet her bed. Clean-up and a quick bath ensued – she was ticked off about having to have a bath. We watched the Disney parade and then headed over to my parent’s house for breakfast and gifts, before going to my aunt and uncle’s for a…
