    boredom sets in

    So I have nothing to work on – I finished my other puzzle, we can’t finish painting… so I pulled out a couple of old projects I never finished. First up was Belle, my 3rd version of the village dress. I thought this was in pieces, but when I got it out and looked it over, it was really close…

    Dragoncon 2011 Parade Tilt-Shift

    Chase took a tilt-shift time-lapse video of the parade again this year – it’s really fun to watch, and pick out the different characters. I’m at 4:48 (wearing Donna) in the Doctor Who group, walking next to Ashley in her TARDIS costume. I waved to him but it must have been while I was out of focus! (he also did…

    Thanksgiving 2011 & Puzzle

    Happy Thanksgiving 🙂 Had a nice day – had Thanksgiving lunch with the family and having dinner at home watching Toy Story with Chase. He’s eating leftovers, and I’m having chicken spaghetti made by my friend’s mom. Yum! I’m actually off tomorrow – I’m usually not – so we’re spending the day cleaning, finishing up what we can of the…

    Disney Trip Surprise w/Belle!

    Got to do something fun last night 🙂 Friend of mine’s family is going to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving and it’s their niece’s first time there. I got to stop by their house (dressed in Belle) and give her a gift (her own Cinderella dress, tiara and light up shoes). She was really, really sweet and adorable. I hope she has…

    SDCC 2006 Funny

    Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Just a random story to share. Here’s a photo from San Diego Comic Con 2006: This was our third and last Comic Con, and the only one Chase went to. I took my Stormtrooper armor to wear to the 501st photo – only my second time wearing it. Chase had his brand new…

    House Work: Bedroom finished!

    and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

    House Work: Painting the Bedroom

    Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

    Cleaning my Sewing Room, etc

    Still working on getting my sewing room straightened up and organized. Chase put my new shelves up last night, so I put my bead jars on them – this was the plan from the start, but it took me 2 years to finally get around to getting the shelves. I think I might get one more small one, because I…

    Halloween 2011

    Put on Snow White to hand out candy tonight – ran out of candy way sooner than we expected! My favourite was an older kid wearing a gorilla mask and a convict-type suit, carrying a Disney Princess bag. He didn’t say anything but kept pointing to Snow White on his bag excitedly, LOL. Here’s our pumpkins – Snow White –…

    Our Pumpkins – 2011

    We went and picked out pumpkins last night and carved them! Well, Chase and Ash carved pumpkins, I emptied ours out (the only part I like) and then sat in the living room and watched Simpsons’ Halloween specials until they were done LOL Ash did a Cyberman: And Chase did one of ours, Mike Wazowski: We’re also doing a Sully…

    GMX 2011 Pics

    Here’s a handful of pics from GMX – didn’t take a lot. Me as Donna and Kevin as 11 in front of the TARDIS: A cool weeping angel, and the MST3k bots! We broke K-9 out for about a half hour on Sunday before we left. I didn’t wear Wonder Woman and didn’t get any pics of Rose. I’ll wear…

    One more Wonder Woman update

    Leaving for GMX tonight, so last WW update! Chase finished my Wonder Woman chestpiece and tiara, and he’s finishing the belt today. Here they are yesterday afternoon: Finished up Ash’s Ood jacket but really not happy with it; definitely remaking it before Dcon next year. So, since 4 people and K-9 take up quite a bit of space, I’m only…

    DCNU Wonder Woman Progress, Doctor Who, etc

    done! (almost) Bodice is done except for a few little places I need to clean up. Now onto finishing the bottoms and boots, and finishing Ashley’s Ood jacket. Yesterday we finished shopping for my cousin’s budget 11th Doctor costume. Found a Stetson pretty cheap, and a decent “look a like” pair of boots which we’re going to polish to be…

    home alone… time to dress up the dog

    I was home along last night since Chase was shooting, so I remade the outside layer of my bodice. (pluuss I got the fabric for $5 and it’s what I wanted originally, the same as I used for my 2009 Wonder Woman, couldn’t find it first time I went shopping for this.) So anyway, I got it cut out thursday…
