what in the walmart
Coming down to the wire. I’m in much better shape this year than I was last year but still have a few major hurdles to get over in the next 2 weeks. Out of curiosity I had to go look at where I was this time last year and… uh, yeah I’d say I’m still in a slightly better place…

hey macarena
Well here it is, Monday again. 3 weeks and some change until Dragoncon. In the realm of things that are annoying me currently — I realized about 2 weeks ago that I only put in for Thurs & Friday of dragoncon to be off, somehow I missed the Wednesday. Not a big deal, I went in and added it… but…

annoyed af
that’s me today. everything is annoying. I got my replacement Dragoncon badge – found someone selling theirs on ebay. Now I have all 20. After this year I’m going to look at getting them all framed with my carpet piece. You ever make something and think “this is trash” and then 20 minutes later you’re like “this is amazing” and…

my fair luna
Today is starting off great with multiple problems at work after a relatively quiet (aka no problems) couple of weeks. Why do things come in waves like this? Anyway, I won the Lucky Seat lotto to buy cheap tickets for My Fair Lady at the Orpheum. Mom and I are going and I’m mostly excited but also mostly anxious because…

t minus 42 days
A little less than a month and a half to go before Dragoncon. I’m feeling the pinch. I also really need to figure out what I’m taking besides the new stuff. Ugggggggh Most of my progress this past week was on Padme but it’s not a lot to show. I got the panel for the beading and embroidery made. Gargoyle…

chrissy wake up
Sorry about last week’s post. I think I got distracted before setting up a photo header and forgot to go back to it… I remember at one point going thru and closing tabs and seeing my wordpress edit area was still up and thinking that’s weird… but surely I already published it. Thankfully it was saved in drafts so I…

what a weekend
7/9/22 – APPARENTLY I forgot to hit publish on this on Tuesday. Oops. Well here it is now. I backdated it to the date it was written. yall I am tired. Last week was spent getting the house ready for company. We got the backyard cleaned up, lights put up and ready to go. Friday Chase’s sister and family arrived.…

dragoncon 2022… plans?
hello i am here to ramble about dragoncon costume plans because this is what I do when I am anxious. It’s now officially July and I have no idea what costumes I’m taking to dragoncon besides the 2 I’m working on. I’ve just been so tired since disney and so out of sorts since last year I just feel tired…

its my birthday too
Today I’m starting out with the non-sewing stuff. Friday was Kevin’s birthday! He had just gotten back from his summer camp that day and his mom invited us over for spaghetti (his fav) and cake. Saturday night we took Kevin out for dinner at Celtic Crossing and to see a showing of 1984 Dune at the Pink Palace imax. They…

that was legitness
So where I left off with Jessica last week was I was pretty close to get it finished. I had to tweak that sleeve pattern once more. But as I kept working on it I was really unhappy with it. The darts I’d had to add just looked awful, the sleeve openings were too low and droopy looking and everytime…

late nights in the middle of june
Hey I actually got a good amount of stuff done this past week. I finished hemming the Jessica veils, and then I got the dress pieces cut: It’s been kinda hard this past week to show any progress of this on IG, because I’m trying to avoid putting pins in it so I never had the panels pinned together until…

why am i here
Well my old desktop computer has once again decided it’s not going to connect to the internet so I’m back on my laptop. Blah. I hate writing my blog entries on the laptop. I kept working on my Padme sleeves last week. And I came to the conclusion that this poly charmeuse doesn’t hang right. It’s just slightly thicker and…

its dragoncon season
We are one day away from June and fully into Dragoncon season now. I finally feel like my brain has “switched over” and it’s not a fight to go make myself sew. I’m gonna go over the non-costumey stuff first so I can get it out of my photo feed — First, last week Chase surprised me with some new…

shocked pikachu face
Well hi I don’t really have much to share this week either, though I do feel like I got a lot done. I’m just at the point of both costumes where I’m still in the planning stages for a lot of it so I don’t have much to SHOW. For Packing Padme, I got in my lining fabric for the…

i dont even know why Im posting this week
I really don’t have much of anything to post. But I’m here anyway. I did get the site updated last week – new stuff added to the portfolio/costume pages. Also discovered that when I added my Utena page back in february I apparently linked it to the 2007 Utena instead of the new one. I’ve still been feeling like a…

it’s a world of tears
Well hi I’m back from Disney World. The trip was great, but also weird. It felt rushed. How does a week+ trip feel rushed? I’ve no idea. Luna knew something was up and was saaaaad Wednesday night I went and picked up Kevin. I got to do the surprise I’ve been planning for months. “Hey Kevin are you ready to…

please stand clear of my vacation
It’s now that time period before a vacation where EVERY SINGLE THING is bothering me. Work is bothering me, people are bothering me, everything is bothering me because it’s all standing in the way of my vacation. I barely have any pics to post this week so I’ll sprinkle in some cat photos. Last week I mostly focused on finishing…

im tired of my winter clothes
We get one nice day and then a storm blows in and makes it cold again. Had to wear a sweater to Easter. Can’t remember the last time I had to wear something warm on Easter. Like the title says, I’m really tired of my winter clothes at this point and I’m ready to move on to shorts for a…

screaming crying throwing up
I just really want to GO ok. I’m tired of work. I’m tired of life. I just want to be in disney world and not have to worry about anything. Soooo what’d I do last week. First up, I finished off my Death Star Plans bag for my dapper day Leia look. The center gold piece is 3d painted in…

I don’t know what we’re yelling about
It’s another Monday where I feel like I have nothing to show for the past week. On Saturday I was thinking about what I was going to post today — like what have I done all week?? I couldn’t think of anything! On Monday last week i did finish up my Wanda shirt. I’m still on the fence about posting…
