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…

Christmas!
Got to leave work an hour and a half early yesterday, so spent a nice night just finishing up presents. Indy was being snoopy as usual: The tree last night… And Chase made these pan smores last night and they were GOOD: Then spent today at my Mema’s house for Christmas! My little American Girl doll-sized dresses thankfully fit. Here’s…

Christmas Cards
More art stuff! Wow! Well a few weeks ago I was trolling around on ebay looking for Disney-themed Christmas Cards to buy. I came across an auction for a 1962 Walt Disney staff Christmas card (which is still on ebay right now if anyone has $55 to spare). I thought it was really cute and sent it to Chase saying,…

2013 Year in Review
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

Artwork stuff
I revisited some of my 365 princess pics from a couple of years ago and fixed some things I didn’t like. Here’s the first of the fixed versions: Snow White still looks a little awkward but I fixed some of the problem with her neck and eyes. Cinderella got a head-reposition, hair colour fix, etc. Aurora’s dress colour got changed,…
