A super quick art post
I managed to finish my prequel trio!! So I’ll have all 4 sets available as prints at Visioncon. Here’s Anakin His pose ended up being stiffer looking than I wanted but OH well. Obi-Wan: I like how this one turned out, pretty happy with it. I decided to put them both in their Clone Wars looks… more interesting to draw…

Rogue One art
I have absolutely no progress to show on my embroidery because I mean, it all looks the same. Hi here’s another flower it took me 4 hours of my life and it looks exactly like the other 24 I’ve done already. I am ALMOST done with the bottom half. I should finish it up this weekend. And my hope is…

My life is nothing but embroidery
I embroidered all weekend long. Like all day Friday non-stop while I had the day off. Found Unsolved Mysteries (the old Robert Stacks episodes!) on Amazon Prime and just dug in. All day Saturday, just stopped to run out to breakfast with my parents and a few errands (needed more embroidery floss). Sunday morning I took a break to start…

Some art and some embroidery and a day off
I misspelled embroidery in the title and it was “broidery” which I think is the manly bro version of embroidery. So I finished a couple of other art things recently, in that Star Wars series I’ve been doing. First up is Luke I’m pretty happy with how he turned out. And then Han Pretty happy with this one, too. I…

VisionCon 2017!
I’ve mentioned it before but here’s my whole big post about it! I will be a guest at VisionCon in a few weeks, Feb 24th-26th! I’m super excited. I have never been to VisionCon and everything I’ve seen looks awesome and the con staff have been wonderful to work with already! I will have a booth in the exhibit hall…

I am a train
Trying to think of another post title that’s not “monday again” or something and I typed the first thing that came to mind. “I am a train.” OK. (I’m pretty certain that’s due to having Arlo Guthrie’s “The City of New Orleans” stuck in my head the past couple of days thanks to it playing in the grocery store on…

Southern Fried Pics! (and Dolores)
I had a great 3 day weekend just chilling with my grandparents. Went up Thursday after work and we went to eat at Red Lobster… clam chowder yay! I got a decent amount of embroidery work done over the weekend. Still clocking behind where I want to be but I’m starting to feel more confident. Catty Bob was curious but…

1 step forward, 3 steps back
So this morning I realized I did some of my Bespin Leia stuff in the wrong colour over the weekend. I dunno if I’ll be able to fix it since the needle leaves holes in the fabric. I guess I can try to unpick the wrong part (some of the interior petals within the flowers) and put the needle back…

some art, some stuff, some dolores
It’s been a long week, I had a dentist appt that I thought would be short and easy and it wasn’t, it totally wiped me out. Not from like, the actual work done, but from the anxiety over it, before and after. Ugh. But I’ve spent all week printing my costume photos in the evenings which has been a lot…

Sewing McSewerson
Originally I named this post “work work work” but then the permalink came up as “work-work-work-5” which means I’ve named 4 other posts at some time or another “work work work” so I changed it to Sewing McSewerson. Even though I didn’t actually do any sewing this weekend but I did a lot of embroidery so that counts. We stayed…

she’s a total blam blam
We had to buy a new printer. Ours kicked the bucket. Boo! I’ve got a ton of stuff to print for VisionCon so we ordered a new one and it should arrive tomorrow. Yay. I got two nice 8×10 display portfolios for Christmas that I’m going to print off a lot of my costume photos to display on my table…

Padme’s Lake Dress Hair – a Sort-of Tutorial
A friend on instagram asked how I did my Padme lake dress hair, and I thought it would be way easier to answer over here where I could type everything out and post pictures easier than trying to type on my phone on instagram. I’ve never done a full tutorial on how I did this hair, BUT I have drawn…

the good & the bad
So Friday we got snow! Not a lot but it was enough to make driving a little scary. Unfortunately we didn’t get a snow day 🙁 I worked all day, Chase most of the day. So besides that I have two sets of costume updates – Bespin Leia (AKA the bad) and Dolores (AKA the good). Which do I start…

sickie
I’ve been sick the past couple of days but didn’t realize it til yesterday. Monday evening I started feeling kinda icky but I thought it was just being tired from the weekend combined with an oncoming migraine because of the weather shift. Tuesday I had a migraine that wouldn’t come under control but it wasn’t terrible. Yesterday I woke up…

Disney Wrap-Up 2016
I thought it would be fun to do a “wrap-up” of all of our Disney trips during our #MouseEarsforaYear experience! As a refresher – we bought annual passes this past year! This was a one time, special thing we did – we planned, we scrimped, we saved to be able to do 6 trips over the course of the year.…

Happy New Year!
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017… UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence… sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn’t wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more…

Dolores, Kuwait, and the Sims
It’s a super random post today. First up, I’ve already talked about Carrie Fisher’s passing both on FB and instagram so I’m not going to do it here. I don’t want to talk about it no mo. In happier news we booked our hotel for Celebration. We are going to do 3 days at Disney, 1 at Universal, and 1…

Christmas time is here again
I had a very nice Christmas break! Though I had planned to get a lot of sewing done and the sewing was very minimal… but sometimes you need a day of laying on the couch doing absolutely nothing, right? I had Friday and Monday both off, and Chase got off early friday and we went up to Jackson to spend…

Dolores progress
I got a good bit of work done last night! I started out by first off – fixing my ceremonial Leia belt. I got it out to take a photo last night and discovered one of the button covers on the conchos had popped off and nowhere was to be found. First time that’s ever happened with any of my…
