Wasp Costume Progress
Basically finished up Wasp. I want to fix one spot on the back of the skirt and I miiiight shorten it a tad (I was worried it was going to be too short but I think it ended up a tiny bit too long). I need to make the upper black glove sections, and the headphones. Ordered my wig friday…

A rough idea of my Belle Costume
And I do mean rough I got the skirt pleated, and finished the basic corset. I got the outer bodice pieces cut and pinned together. I just pinned the fabric swoop on to get an idea of how the bodice was going to look with the skirt. I still have more fabric to buy (going tomorrow) before I can continue…

Wasp Progress
So it took me a week longer to finish my embroidery project than I expected, on top of going to Minnesota for a weekend trip to see my in-laws last weekend. So I was feeling a little stressed the other day, and really buckled down and tried to finish some stuff last night. And I did! I finished the embroidery,…

A FAQ: How do you wear so many costumes?

Well I’m going to tell you my secret… at conventions, I really don’t do much of anything else but wear costumes. This right here is what we do most of the time at…

Attn my velvety friends
I have finally finished the sleeves, and started attaching them. I decided to re-do mine, again, since I am a masochist, apparently. But, here’s a photo of the robes this past weekend when I put a hoop in the bottom to see how it looked. We still need to buy cotton for the underrobes, the velvet for the upper cape/collar…

I am ensconced in velvet
I have been lost in a haze of velvet and iron-on stabilizer the past two weeks, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I’m going to be taking some pics and posting them this weekend, both here and facebook, I promise! In other news, I nabbed some taffeta at Joann’s for super cheap. Was going to use a 50%…

The Time Lord & Witch sweatshop
Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek’s needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase’s has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on.

Random post of Randomness: House Stuff, etc
So I was going to upload my Timegate photos tonight but never got around to it because I started reorganizing the kitchen. I didn’t mean to reorganize the kitchen, I was just filling up our new shelf in the kitchen, but it just escalated like those things do. Here’s the new shelf!

Cleaning my office
Chase helped me tackle the closet in my office yesterday. While I’ve cleaned and reorganized my office in the past few months, the closet I haven’t messed with since before dragoncon last year.
