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…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Site Designs
So it’s no secret that, early on, I LOVED to redesign my site. I’d do it every other month if I had time. It was really fun for me to come up with new stuff and figure out how to build it. In fact this post isn’t really about my “favourite” site designs. It’s about ALL my site designs, just…

Birthday Blog: Disney!!
Ok so I did this post last, it’s just kind of an extra thing… but I thought I’d be remiss to not include our Disney adventures here, especially since it’s become such a big part of our life in the past couple of years. Buckle in, this is going to be a long post. My first trip to Disney World…

Tink progress, Amidala fabric
Ok so wow… my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW! It’s not perfect, but I think the pattern is good and has been the closest I could find in a decent fabric…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2006-2009
Today’s post covers my favourite/notable costume blog posts from 2006-2009. These were some pretty busy years, sewing wise – but a lot of it was just more of the same, there’s not a lot that’s notable off the top of my head. So let’s see if this ends up being as long as 2003-2005 was… January 7, 2006 – ONE…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2003-2005
This post is dedicated to my fav/notable/memorable costume moments of 2003-2005! I did a lot of costumes in 2003. More than any other year to date. But that’s because a lot of them weren’t made – they were “piece mealed” together out of stuff I bought. (I don’t do a lot of that anymore.) 2004 was a transitional year. I…
