2017 Year in Review

It's that time of the year again... time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn't get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did I?! Not really. I redid the wig, twice - once for Visioncon, and ...

Costume-y Thoughts

I'm really itching to get started working on stuff. Here's some thoughts on things. 1. Donna Noble - Unicorn & the Wasp I was supposed to pick this up again after Dragoncon and of course I have not. I do still plan on finishing it, it's all sitting in a box waiting on me to come back to it. 2. Georgian dress I want to do another one of these, in pink, ...

So here's what I've got planned for now. March projects: already underway. Enchantress: quick and easy. DC Character: light on sewing. more of a crafty-thing.

May projects: Marie Antoinette: just starting on it May, don't plan to have it done within the ...

2010 wrap up…. 2011 plans

(I realize I have this post on my blog basically twice - but one version was imported over from livejournal and I wanted to preserve it and its comments. This version is the livejournal post.) I can't believe 2010 is already over. Seems like just a few weeks ago I posted my 2010 plans. I didn't do very well in terms of doing what I said I was going to do LOL ...

Thinking about costumes for next year..

Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the "season" for me - I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here's my thoughts for next year... Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX - but I'm going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last year, and it'll be pretty simple. For GMX, provided ...
