big if true
Oh my god we’re in the second half of July now. I am feeling the PANIC set in, mostly about Padme. My fabric for the gathered sections came in on tuesday and I’ve spent every day since then working on getting that done. Finished them up Saturday and then Sunday focused on finishing EVERYTHING else. I think the real one…

dragoncon updates
I know I just posted yesterday, it’s dragoncon season, I’ll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. So let’s go through ’em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday’s post. 1. Wanda Got my…

mama mia
Well here we are, it’s monday again. And it’s been another week of panicked flailing around for something to do to work on while dragoncon stares me down in the horizon. I spent pretty much all of last week doing little repairs on older costumes and what not. I fixed my broken Arwen necklace, finished sequining my Dorothy shoes (I…

hey remember how
remember how I called a post a couple of weeks ago “lost weekend”? Well I take that back. This was it. This was the lost weekend. Ugh! I was so excited to have a 3 day weekend and get a lot of costume work done. I ended up being so stuck that by Sunday I didn’t do ANYTHING. We ending…

you say the ocean’s rising
So I have been getting. stuff. done. So I had 4 costumes in mind for dcon this year. Let’s just go through the list. 1. Padme (and Bail) No progress here since last week on my end – still waiting on my fabric swatch for the pleated sections, and switched gears and ended up not experimenting with the applique stuff.…

lost weekend
What a strange few days it’s been. I’ve still been having an off and on again migraine the past week – it’s getting old. I’m hoping I’m over it as of today – woke up feeling ok, but there’s also storms/pressure change coming through today, so who knows. First up, Luna is… Luna, I guess. Chase brought her home from…

you got some stones to mess with me
Well hi here we are again with the increasingly regular mid-week update. So Monday the mobile vet never called us, which was disappointing. And by Monday night Luna hadn’t peed in her litter box at all during the day so we knew there was some kind of blockage going on and we couldn’t wait on this mobile vet, so Tuesday…

when it rains it pours
So hey remember how last week my grandma broke her back, I had to spend a very awful night with her in the hospital, and then my laptop died? Well we are apparently in a “season” because in the week after all that, I got sick, Luna got sick, and the AC in my sewing room went out. Today I…

the goblin universe
Yall it has been a CRAZY week. I’m still not fully recovered from Friday. What was Friday, you ask? Well let’s start at the beginning. I’ll do some bolded titles so you can skip past the long bits if you don’t want to read them. Enjoy some weird pics of Luna after I threw some money at her while I…

too many tacos
Back to real life after a holiday weekend. I had big plans to get a LOT of sewing done this weekend but alas. Friday night we ran errands, Saturday we ran more errands, did housework and headed over to Nana and Kristie’s to eat FAJItAS and watch the Friends reunion, which was fun (and I also kidnapped Kevin. I’ll tell…

dragoncon 2021
I realllly was wanting to put together my dragoncon line-up for instagram the other day but I felt like it might jinx it. So instead here I am writing an extra blog post for the week because I’m having an irritating day and needed a nice distraction. Even though I kinda already went over this in a post a couple…

with thunderous applause
Ugh it’s Monday again. At least next week is only a 4 day work week with Memorial Day. Something to look forward to. Speaking of Memorial Day, I mentioned last week we were going to do a white backdrop shoot that weekend, because I really need Arwen and Eliza pics. But we decided to push it off to July 4…

thats enough slices
First up, I finally got the portfolio updated with the disney costumes. The hold-up was my wacom tablet wasn’t talking to photoshop 2020 and thats’s where I do my drawings of the the little dressform images for the menu. The tablet WAS working fine in Photoshop CS2 but that doesn’t have the smoothing option I use when drawing. I updated…

wake me up
Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it’s not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I’m still physically tired from disney. I’m finally over my…

disney trip report part 2
Ok this isn’t really trip report but I uploaded Chase’s pics and the pics off the camera last night so here’s some selections from those. Black Widow Grand Flo selfie View from narcoossee’s. Chase takes much better iphone pics than I do. See? Like here’s his photo of his meal at Narcoossee’s. mine looks amateur in comparison LOL View from…

disney trip report part 1
Well HI (said like the viral cat video) We are obviously back from Disney and I’m still recovering. I had WANTED to post about the trip on Monday (before I forgot everything…) but I was lazy over the weekend and didn’t download our pics. I got my iphone pics downloaded Monday and then had to struggle through individually downloading photopass…

it’s another flashback haul
Yeah I know I just posted yesterday but if I don’t post this stuff before the trip, it’s NEVER going to get posted. I went through that bag of stuff from my parents’ attic! All of these clothes were originally in an old white garbage bag that totally shredded into nothing when I tried to pick it up. so I…

there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow
Mondays aren’t so bad when you have an impending Disney trip. I don’t have any new sewing updates on anything even though I said I was going to try to start on Padme — and even though I was off Friday. Instead I became a whole-ass new person over the weekend. I took off Friday for my lash appointment: the…

and talk about the weather
I have just 8 more days of work before Disney. In those 8 days I am scrambling to have everything ready for work for me to be ABLE to go out of town without being stressed about it. I blocked off some time one morning this week to focus only on making sure all of the info for my coworkers…

easterrrrr
Good grief this weekend was busy. Busiest we’ve been since this whole pandemic craziness started. I bought this bunny years ago at goodwill because I felt sad for him. He’s missing an arm and his hat is messed up. I was gonna fix him this year but didn’t. I’ve left him out to fix one night this week so he’ll…
