Well I'm back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I'm kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn't do any of it. It was like I only had a finite amount of mental energy, less than usual, and I ...
I don't have a lot to chat about this week EXCEPT costume stuff. I worked on Honeymoon Leia every night last week and almost all of that was me monkeying with the back zipper. It took me forever to get it installed without it pulling at the bottom weird. TBH I don't know what I was thinking doing the zipper the way I planned and did - I kinda wish ...
All rightie it's that time of the year when we compare last year's to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here's what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023... 1. Finish Wedding Leia -- YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia -- YES! I have been saying I was going to do this for a few years and I can finally mark it off now. 3. ...
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a panic attack wearing it at dcon 2015 - it was too hot, it ...
Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn't come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don't feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let's recap it all.... I can't remember if I posted our badge ribbons we were handing out? I was giving out bun ...
Work is really trying my patience. I'm soooo ready to go. I need a break from work, a week out of the house. Well of course, I don't really have much to post about since I'm pretty much DONE. I'm just gonna go through this weeks pics one at a time in no order. Ok so first up let's talk Christmas decorations because I have 2 new ones I really want ...
It feels really good to be almost done with 6 new costumes + soft parts for 2 costumes for Chase nearly a month before Dragoncon. Ok so I'm just gonna go through my pics in order. We finally made our own badge ribbons to hand out this year! Obviously I'll be handing out the Space Bun Club ribbons LOL And Chase will have the Laszlo ones. Got out the wig I bought for ...
Yes, we took Saturday off costume work and did a double feature. We started with breakfast at the Liquor Store: Then off to see Oppenheimer on the imax: Chase got a leg cramp right as they were starting the Trinity test. He had to awkwardly try to get out of the aisle, then was stuck standing in the hall for the rest of the movie because of the cramp. I ...
Let's start out with Seven progress this week because looking back at my last post... dang I finished a lot since then! It didn't feel like that much but it was. I did finish getting all of the HTV sewn on and FINALLY got to start sewing everything together. The back panel It took me a minute to remember how the sleeves worked on the TNG uniform -- the yoke ...
I don't have much of anything to post this week. Spent most of the last week trying to get the HTV for the Seven yoke to work. Basically everytime we'd do a test it'd come out backwards. Chase was definitely sending it mirrored - backwards. Then not mirrored - backwards. We'd finally get a test square that was right, go to print a full page of that - backwards. We ...
