    Anne Boleyn updates

    Sorry I haven’t been posting much! We’ve moved and are kinda homeless at the moment LOL ( staying with family) – still waiting to hear about the house we made an offer on. And my computers power cord died! We’ve bought 2 over the past few weeks once I realized it was going to die, but neither fit.. And now…

    A Collection of New Photoshoot Pics

    I’m sorry I haven’t posted much lately. We’ve been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I’ve been thinking of! In the meantime here’s my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.

    Marvel Girl Progress

    So I was bored of working on the big green monster last night, so I worked on… a little green monster? LOL I decided to start on my Jean Grey dress as a break from the other project, and it went together really fast! I had to get creative with the skirt because I didn’t have enough fabric but it…

    Anne Boleyn & other updates

    Got the bodice put together on the big green thing, it was giving me fits last night, about to drive me crazy. I think I’ve got enough leaves from the last poison ivy leftover to do the next. It doesn’t need as many leaves. I’ve got the bodysuit to dye, I think I’m going to have to go buy a…

    Ahhh… Anne Boleyn corset and skirt

    Last time I posted a pic I was house sitting… then it and my sewing machine went to ANOTHER house to house sit (where I made use of a very large dining room table for cutting more fabric!), and now it’s back to our house 🙂 But here it is! Finally ironed, newly pleated and with a nearly finished corset:…

    Dragoncon costume updates

    Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be…

    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…

    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.

    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…
