House Work: Painting, Video Games and Whatnot
Hi guys. Haven’t done much lately because of all the painting and crazy work stuff. BUT I do have a few things to share now! First off, had a good mail day the other day: Chase has been playing a lot of PS3 lately and it’s been making me miss some of my PS2 games. Besides playing Battlefront 1 and…

More Elvish Dress progress
Wasn’t planning on working on it anymore tonight, but went back at it for a while. Got the sides fitted and sewn up, and the hem pinned. Cut out the upper sleeves and pulled out some silver trim leftover from Marie Antoinette I think I’ll use on it. I need to decide what I want to use for the lower…

Painting and Elvish Dress
Today was productive! Took the dog to the vet in the morning, then ran errands. Then we came home and FINALLY finished painting the living room! Well, almost… this coat was the first layer, but the living room matches the hall now and it at least looks a bit more done. We also still need to paint the trim and…

I had a Costume Problem
People are always asking me how many costumes I have. I made this collage a while back to help myself keep up with them. There’s a handful of things missing but it’s most of it. The year I made the most was 2003.. ah the good old days when I had much more time and money to spare 😛 (And…

Office updates, new furniture!
Finally got my sewing room cleaned up! Here’s the blue cabinet – still needs a new magnet to keep the door closed. And the patterns I shoved underneath it need a new home. Here’s the white wardrobe. Still want to do the blue accents, and make curtains, but it’s use-able.

2012 & 2013 Costumes!
So at the beginning of 2012, this is what I said I wanted to get done: Romana II – did it! Donna Noble Silence in the Library outfit – did it! remake Belle (maybe… had this one on my list several times and have never gotten to it) – did it! (finally!) Wasp (been suggested several times so I might…

Christmas 2012
(edit: this is a guess at what picture was posted here. When I moved from flickr to smugmug in 2015 a lot of my photo data was lost, so I’m only guessing this is our tree photo from 2012. looks about right…?) We did things differently this year! Chase and I opened each others’ presents tonight, instead of Christmas morning.…

Repainting the Chest
Hey remember that yellow chest-of-drawers I posted a few weeks ago? I took today off work and got it painted (and got a lot of laundry done.) I’m SUPER happy with the result. Here’s it is after one coat: And here it is finished: I left the interior yellow and LOVE it. Rolling it into my sewing room tomorrow and…

Next project: yellow chest
Sorry I’ve been MIA… real life happened but I doubt the story is anyone’s interest so I won’t bore you with it. My next project for my office is this piece of furniture: It was not quite as dirty as the other piece, and still in very good shape, just one piece of a drawer had come off. Once I…

Painting my wardrobe
We had two date nights and lots of painting this past weekend. Friday we saw Wreck-it Ralph, and Saturday we saw Skyfall. Both really good! Saturday morning I got up and painted myself orange for Ahsoka, and we headed to Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con. We had a really great time though we didn’t take any pics; we did come…

Housework, and a Wardrobe
This weekend was spent cleaning the garage, something that has been much-needed for a while. Saturday we pulled everything into the driveway to start organizing it. It was hilarious to watch people drive by reaaaaal slow, thinking it was a garage sale LOL We built a new shelf for all of our bins! We got it mostly done on saturday,…

GMX 2012 Recap
GMX was a lot of fun this year! We took Kevin, who wore his Harry Potter and Doctor Who costumes, and I took Wasp, Ms Marvel, Donna Noble, Marie Antoinette, and Anne Boleyn. We mostly hung out, shopped, Kevin played video games and Chase took photos. It was a nice lowkey weekend 🙂 Here’s some of my fav pics. Kevin’s…

Halloween 2012
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near…

Office Space
So this morning, laying in bed, 5:30 AM, I had a brainstorm about my sewing room. It’s cluttered. It’s a mess. I have no space. It’s been a disaster area since Dragoncon – I attempted to unpack in there, got halfway through and ended up with stuff strewn everywhere. On top of going through to find stuff to sell, it’s…

So.. selling some stuff
Really not a lot to talk about lately. We painted our front door and rearranged the living room. My mom got me new, cute owl pillows. Got our Dragoncon room today. So that stress is over with for a bit. Still got a few costumes for sale, and few things to still list. I’m really happy to be making some…

What should I take to GMX?
I really have no idea what to take with me to GMX. I’m definitely taking Wasp, because I’m finishing the wings, and Marie Antoinette TARDIS to go with my cousin’s 11th Doctor costume. Thinking about taking Anne Boleyn too. Otherwise, I’m thinking about: Time Lord Donna Noble Batgirl Emma Frost Jane (Tarzan) beyond that nothing is really saying “WEAR ME!”…
