FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Bespin Leia Bun
Today I’m posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays – the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It’s been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles – most of my Leia costumes…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Ceremonial Leia Bun
Today I’m posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays – the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. I apologize for being repetitious, but since these 3 tutorials share a common base, I’ll just be copying some of the same directions and photos…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Costumes for Beginners
Yep ya’ll are getting multiple posts for FAQ Friday today! With Halloween creeping up, I get asked about my Leia costumes a lot. A lot of times it’s folks who are new to sewing and not sure where to start. And a lot of times they’re interested in what I consider to be costumes that are pretty tough for a…

Disney World
Dragoncon mode: off. Disneyworld mode: engaged. Disney trip 2015 – booked! We are going in February this time around. 5 day trip. We’d picked our dates a few weeks ago, and when we went to book – surprise, they’d just announced free dining for that time period! So we booked, got the free dining, though we upgraded it to the…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Buns – Method 1
(2025 addendum: this method is no longer what I use to do the buns. Head to my Bun Tutorial page for some more up-to-date videos on how I do the buns now.) So last week I posted “Method #2” for doing Princess Leia Buns (aka, the “donut” version). That method was a quick way to do the buns using what…

GMX decisions
I finally sat down yesterday and figured out what costumes I’m going to take to GMX. Here’s my list as of today, along with my to-do list: 1. Rogue as Ms Marvel 2. Peggy Carter (tweak jacket fit, trim wig) 3. Glimmer (fix petals that have come off the staff, replace a snap) 4. Time Lord (glue seals back onto…

Upcoming Convention Appearances
I’ll be at Geek Media Expo in Nashville, TN weekend after next! I’m planning on bringing Rogue as Ms Marvel, Peggy Carter, my Time Lord, Sarah Sanderson, and Glimmer! I have no idea when I’ll be wearing what, but I’m excited for it! We’ve been to every GMX so far and it’s always fun. Then, I’ll be a guest at…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hair Buns – Method #2
(2025 addendum: this method is no longer what I use to do the buns. Head to my Bun Tutorial page for some more up-to-date videos on how I do the buns now.) I’ve had this FAQ written for AGES but never could find the time to add the photos. One day it posted by mistake, sans photos, so I deleted…

Cosplay Meme
A cosplay meme I stole because I’m bored. Cosplay Personality Meme! Choose a character from your cosplays that best suits each one… You relate to most: Belle. Ever since I was a little girl and saw the movie in the theater and had that whole, “SHE likes books and I like books too!” moment, preferring to be left alone to…

Halloween and Costume Commissions
Hi everyone, For those of you coming across my site in search of Halloween costumes to purchase or for help on Halloween costumes, this post is just a gentle reminder that I do not sell my costumes, and I am not open to take commissions for custom costumes at this time (and, due to my relatively new job, I am…

Back from Vegas
I’m back after a week long trip! I’d never been to Las Vegas, somehow. Never had a convention that drew me there I guess LOL I was asked to come along to be part of the booth team for a trade show through work last week, and Chase got to come, too! So I was excited to get to see…

House and Teeth Cleaning
So I went and got my teeth cleaned for the first time in waaaay too long and boy are they sore. Not so bad today. But last night I was hurting. They looked good except I’m going to have to have a crown replaced. Ouch. (the ouch is more financially speaking than physically, though) I’ve been on a mad house…

Sims 4 Thoughts
So I said I wasn’t going to buy it. But then I bought it. I had read about how “downgraded” Sims 4 was going to be – and still being very much into the Sims 3, I figured, why waste my time? It actually kinda sounded awful. But then I read a review that said that yes, the world is…

Dragoncon pictures I stole from other people
I’m a nasty little thief, stealing pictures from other people. I love this shot of my Peggy with the USO Girls from Kaydee: Although it makes me think my jacket is a little big? I need to adjust the belt up higher and it’s already wrinkling at that lower point. Hm. Anne onstage, from Sean Peck: Two gorgeous shots of…

Deep Thoughts
Now, what do I want to take to GMX? I’ve actually got a convention BEFORE GMX —- but it’s work, I don’t think I get to take any costumes LOL But I hear some of the booths have crazy costumes and stuff so I’ll be taking pictures. So, was thinking about GMX today. I may stick Kevin in Chase’s Time…

Dcon 2014: Anne Boleyn
Ok, I think this is the last costume wrap-up post I need to do. Due to the crowds I only got to wear Anne once. I probably would have braved it again if I didn’t already have proof that someone stepping on my skirt could rip it – Chase accidently stepped on the side of it as we were heading…

5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year
5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year The Olafs, Dreamcatcher and Figment, Mean Girls, Celebrity Jeopardy… off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of. And I’m being lazy and not posting pics. *falls back asleep*

Dcon 2014: Johanna costume
Well, you know, I really wasn’t sure about how this was going to turn out. This was my stress costume this year that I was still slapping together at the 11th hour and had gotten to the point of, “I don’t care, just finish it,” you know? So I was pretty surprised I actually liked how it turned out. All…
