Some Anne Boleyn progress
So we’re house sitting… which usually means I’m not able to work on anything – but I brought my sewing machine with me so I’ve actually been accomplishing stuff! The skirt is horribly wrinkled from being carted around, and still just pinned together. But I got my bum roll, and that’s the start of the corset. Hoping to finish up…

Star Wars Summer Camp Pics
My cousin is the head of a summer camp and has for the couple of years had me come out for one of their theme weeks in costume (last year did Wonder Woman for Superhero week and Belle (and Stitch) for Princess week). This year she had Star Wars week, so last week I went up as Leia to talk…

Superman celebration pics and updates
Sorry I haven’t posted, I’ve been working a lot recently, trying to get as much done for Dragoncon as possible; plus my laptop crashed last week! (Chase managed to save it) Here’s the whole gallery of Superman Celebration pics. I don’t remember what I said in my last post so I’m sorry if I repeat anything! Friday we got out…

fun was had
We’re back from Superman Celebration. It was a lot of fun! Huntress worked out all right, still got changes I want to make, but I was more pleased with it than I thought I’d be. (It was HOT though. Especially the mask. Ick) I wore Zatanna (and ended up with a grand total of 4 blisters on my heels from…

thursday already… Huntress progress
Sorry I haven’t been posting much. Besides finishing Huntress, we’ve been busy trying to pack as much stuff as possible so there’s less to pack next month. It’s basically done, though I’ve definitely decided after this weekend I’m going to take all the white trim off and dye the purple fabric darker. Chase is finishing up the belt and mask…

House hunting again
I hate house-hunting. But hopefully everything will go smoothly. We’ll know where we are by the end of the week – so we can see what our options are. BTW – here’s my twitter. I’ve gotten to where I use it pretty often. We are off to Metropolis for Superman Celebration this weekend. Lots of work left to do between…

Huntress & Anne Boleyn updates
I have been working tho! I decided to move one of my dragoncon-possibles up and finish it for superman celebration in metropolis. I’m using Bruce Timm artwork as my main reference. After coming up with a mock-up weekend before last, I put this together with my real fabric: the other day I was to this point: Since then I’ve gotten…

Star Trek
Star Trek was awesome! It was a whole lot of fun, filled with much squee-ing. Greek Fest was fun, too – ate some greek food, tried to dance to greek music, etc. And yes, we are nerds. We were first in line for Wolverine last week, and first in line for Star Trek this week. Ha.

Bodycasting, & New Belle & Padme White Backdrop Pics
In order to do my new Wonder Woman parts, Chase wanted to take a body cast of me. (Also will be for things in the future) So we did that today… it was so gross. And the best part? I totally passed out. For just a second or two, but I’ve never passed out before in my life, even last…

Intruder Dog
These people down the street have this little tiny sort-of rat terrier looking dog. And they just let him out, no leash, no line or anything. So far it hasn’t really a big deal – if we come outside with Indy, it’s more an issue of keeping Indy calm. The little dog just usually barks but keeps his distance. Well…

1 Year Anniversary
Sunday was our one year anniversary 🙂 I planned the weekend as a surprise – Chase usually plans all special “events” like birthdays and valentine’s, so I thought I would do this one. We left Friday and drove to Heber Springs, AR, and stayed in a bed-and-breakfast. The whole weekend was just lazy, wandering around looking at stuff – which…

Kitty!
We have a stray cat who we feed at work. He has a little bucket-turned-bed and a food bowl next to our front door, AND he is spoiled – the people next to us set out a bed and food for him, too. I don’t think he lives in the woods, though. While he’s not exactly a “people-cat” he lets…

1st Anniversary
Our first anniversary is a week from tomorrow. While it doesn’t seem like a year it’s weird to me to think I’ve been married for a year! Chase is usually the one to plan this kind of stuff, and he likes to keep his plans secret from me. This time I’m the one planning the trip and keeping it secret…

Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump
I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂 Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little…

Magic Erasers
Magic Erasers are so awesome. Ash discovered how well they could clean your shoes. Today I used one on my laptop. It’s so shiny and sparkly, oooo it’s like new again (on the outside anyway)

A redesign
I’m going to work on this blog this weekend, and get rid of this blogger-made design and replace it with my own. For now I at least updated my links and archive section over there. I’m really liking writing here again, instead of livejournal. Not that I’m going to switch completely, I’ll keep using both, but it’s nice. Haven’t decided…

Indiana the Genius Dog
Indy will take anything I hand her. She’ll usually drop it after a few seconds once she realises it’s not food. Well last night I was walking into the kitchen to throw away a piece of paper, and as I did Indy came walking around the corner. She looked up at me so I handed the piece of paper to…

Box of Rainbows and Magic (aka Books)
I got my shipment from Barnes & Noble yesterday – all the books and dvds I ordered with my leftover christmas gift certificate 🙂 It really was like christmas, too – I got 4 new books and 2 dvds (Tudors season 2 and Shakespeare in Love – the 2nd one because I had like $10 more left on my card…
