the deadbeat club

It was a busy weekend. As is the the weekend before DragonCon EVERY year. SEE: 8/25/2002 8/23/2003 8/29/2004 8/28/2005 8/27/2006 8/26/2007 8/24/2008 8/31/2009 8/28/2010 8/28/2011 8/23/2012 8/26/2013 8/24/2014 8/24/2015 8/30/2016 8/29/2017 Haha. I got the robe finished late last week. I ended up taking the collar off the robe and sewing it onto a t-shirt that I'll just wear underneath it. It made life a whole lot easier. Friday was wig melt-down day. Had to completely take apart everything I'd gotten done on it prior to ...

it’s your rare mid-week post

I don't have my phone today. It has made me very aware of how many times a day I reach for my phone for no particular reason. Like literally every 10 minutes. It's getting a new battery put in today. I wanted to just go ahead and buy a new phone, because it's time, but Chase said some new phone comes out in September so we should wait til then so ...

a trip and a lot of beading

Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don't have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it's just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday, it was hair appt day! Before After I feel like ...

the beadings will continue until dragoncon

So let's see, what have I done since last weekend? Oh that's right, I sat on the couch and beaded every single day. Ok so first. I was telling Kristie that I didn't like the bugle beads and was going to take them off that first test piece and redo them. She looked at my reference and was like, "uh I don't think that's beads, that looks like some kind ...

weekend stuff

Sooooo this weekend. To be honest I don't want to go into the shittiness of most of this weekend; but the one point relevant to my blog is that Kes is sick and we don't know how long we have with her. It is tough. So that is all I am going to say about that. I'm going to focus on the costume and art stuff today, and new home ...

a very moving weekend

Guess what! Chase and I are homeless. We closed on our house Friday. All done. The new owner takes possession a week from today, so we have until then to move out. It's so strange feeling. Like I said, I'm a little sad. It's been a great home. But before I get too far into all that, let's go back and start where I left off! I had Tuesday off ...

bienvenidos a miami

Ugh my photos are all out of order in my smugmug folder. So I'm just going to post these by category instead of linearly. Thursday! We went to see the Frayser Bauhaus. This super cool house was built in 1948. It got turned into a doctor's office for several years, and now it's being restored to its former glory! They had the house open for people to wander thru and take ...

Two posts in a row?!

I knowwwww I just posted yesterday and normally I try to put more space between posts BUT yesterday was a big day. And it IS DragonCon season which means I'm working on a lot of stuff and multiple posts in a week should be expected & allowed. Ok let's get the bad out of the way. Well I'm not going to call it bad. I'm going to call it colossally ...

Finally some Amidala Progress

I don't have a ton to post about today!! Mostly since I did a second post last week. We've had Kevin with us since Tuesday last week, so that's been fun. I don't know what this snapchat filter was supposed to be but it look like the Lunchlady's yearbook picture. Friday Chase got off work early so as soon as I got home, we headed on down to see an ...

I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted this week…

I usually post Monday and apparently I didn't since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I'm going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about... yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...
