it’s the weekly monday post
Friday was busy!! So Wednesday last week I pulled out Belle to double check everything – it needed some roses replaced and some of the appliques sewn back on. And I needed to restyle the wig since I took it down for Dorothy. Then Friday I came straight home from work and started getting ready. I experimented a little bit…

a bunch of random non-costume stuff
I was digging through old hard drives yesterday looking for some old pics for a Christmas project and came across a bunch of random pics I’ve never uploaded for anything. So this is a post about that. If this isn’t interesting to you, sorry, it’s my blog I do what I want. My wedding dress! I took these to show…

Sci-Fi Night, Leia progress, etc
It’s the usual post-weekend Monday update. First up! Saturday night we went to Sci-Fi night with the Riverkings. When they say “take a silly picture” I never know what to do LOL It was fun, Chase wants to go to another game just to sit and watch. Which brings me to Leia updates…. This was probably the second-to-last troop for…

More Leia progress, and an ambulance
So yesterday morning was a little weird. I was on the ramp getting off the interstate on my way work, sitting in a line at the light waiting to turn left. I heard an ambulance siren…. look around try to see where it’s coming from. Turned out it was coming up the ramp behind me, but I was 2nd in…

Every weekend should be a 4 day weekend
What a nice weekend. We barely did anything. Thanksgiving day we got up and headed to family lunch. I curled my hair overnight and it looked cute for a couple of hours. It was pretty much deflated by the time we got home. After we got home and I had my own MST3K Turkey Day — Hercules Unchained, The Brain…

Leia progress, etc
My patreon finally has some content on it! Going forward I’ll be saving my instagram story breakdowns over there after they’ve expired on IG, and I have a slightly more “walk through” recap of my new Leia dress construction so far up over there, too. I plan on doing this with all of my costumes – more in-depth, step-by-step instruction…

MCFC, ‘Tis the Season, a lost ID, lost power, and lost my mind
This weekend was nuts. But let’s ease into it with a picture of Luna. Friday was a normal Friday at work, just steadily busy, until around 2 it was like the world went mad and like 10 hectic problems developed at once. And I had to leave on time because I was on a tight schedule. I ended up leaving…

Leia progress!
I felt kinda off-and-on weird all weekend, I’m chalking it up to upping my dose of one of my medications. One second I’d be freezing cold and then suddenly burning up and drenched in sweat. One second ready to go out and ride my bike for an hour and the next my head pounded/can’t keep my eyes open. Ugh! Very…

Anne pics!!
I got my Anne pics uploaded last night!! OMG I love them. I already talked about our trials just getting the photos so I won’t get into that again. Let’s just get to the pictures. Have I mentioned how cold it was? OMG it was so cold that day. I also mentioned in the post link above how I messed…

Finding Tobey, more pics
Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers…

Halloween, Part 2
Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day… I just wore Chase’s Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I’d wear my DCNU Wonder Woman…

Halloween weekend!!
IT’S HALLOWEEN YALL! We had a really fun weekend. Friday night started with cooking dinner and settling in on the couch to start watching Stranger Things 2. We got through 2 episodes that night. Saturday morning we slept in a bit, and then I started getting ready. (How to tell a photoshoot is happening at my house) We had very…

the nun is done
Finished up the last bit of the nun and delivered yesterday. Fingers crossed everything fits and works ok! Chase was a very good sport and tried it all on for me so I could make sure the veil attachment worked and double check my sleeve and hem measurements. I had to take it with me to play practice to finish…

The Nun Abides
Spent the last week going to play practice, having a migraine, and working on the nun. The robe isn’t much to look at. Followed the pattern exactly for this — I did make it a little bigger because I’d rather work down than have it be too small. This is a really thin black satin and I there are times…

kevin & kes & a nun
Last week was nuts. We had Kes starting Saturday and Kevin starting tuesday. I was working overtime plus having to go after work to check on this or that meant I wasn’t getting home most nights until 6-6:30. So I was totally exhausted every single night. I was working overtime so I could be off on Friday — spent the…

Vegas & Beyond
I’m BACK!!! And so glad to be back. Here’s a really long rambly post about my Vegas trip, weekend stuff… a whole lot of stuff NOT about costumes. Well, a little bit about costumes when you get to Sunday. First off look at my super happy Pumpkin man! And mom found these while cleaning out something and gave them to…

Medieval Leia, birthday stuff
So Friday night we threw up the smaller backdrop and quickly reshot Medieval Leia and TFA Leia. They turned out MUCH MUCH better. No more harsh shadows from the buns across my face and TFA dress isn’t blown out. I got medieval Leia pics back and uploaded yesterday. So I’ll have her portfolio page updated sometime soon. I’m hoping to…

8 miles outta memphis and I got no spare
I have more photoshoot pictures!! Unfortunately some of them did not turn out. TFA Leia’s pics not turning out is my fault – because of the wrinkles I didn’t think to iron out. So we are going to reshoot that one. Then, the lights on medieval Leia were weird and made the whole thing look super weird, so while we’re…

MCX, photoshoot, Young Frankenstein, etc
So my high school reunion is coming up. Am I going? Anyway lots to talk about from this weekend!! Friday night Chase & I had tickets to go see Young Frankenstein at Elmwood Cemetery. Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by…
