So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of "finished"! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we'll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase's brother Scott is coming down to visit for a week (YAY)! Ok I initially typed out this giant block of ...
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 ...
Uggggggggh I'm back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It's time for this year's Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town - but Hurricane Harvey put a stop to his trip, so he stayed home all weekend. ...
Sorry I haven't posted this week! It's been busy! This past weekend we did the symphony event -- which I'll talk about the next post -- and we'd originally planned to do this photoshoot before we left for the event Saturday night. But my tiara wasn't quite ready Saturday, and there was yardwork that needed to be done before the storms set in on Sunday. So we moved the photoshoot ...
If you want to ask me any kind of costumey question, I'm doing a Q&A over at VisionCon's facebook page tonight! You can start asking questions at anytime - I'm going to start answering around 7. Here's the event page! This weekend I'm going to start pulling together costumes for the con - I've got a list of stuff I would LIKE to take, I just need to figure ...
I had a great 3 day weekend just chilling with my grandparents. Went up Thursday after work and we went to eat at Red Lobster... clam chowder yay! I got a decent amount of embroidery work done over the weekend. Still clocking behind where I want to be but I'm starting to feel more confident. Catty Bob was curious but didn't really bother me like Luna does. He sat and watched ...
So this morning I realized I did some of my Bespin Leia stuff in the wrong colour over the weekend. I dunno if I'll be able to fix it since the needle leaves holes in the fabric. I guess I can try to unpick the wrong part (some of the interior petals within the flowers) and put the needle back through the same holes with the right colour. This just ...
It's been a long week, I had a dentist appt that I thought would be short and easy and it wasn't, it totally wiped me out. Not from like, the actual work done, but from the anxiety over it, before and after. Ugh. But I've spent all week printing my costume photos in the evenings which has been a lot of fun, seeing it come together. Here's Luna checking it ...
Originally I named this post "work work work" but then the permalink came up as "work-work-work-5" which means I've named 4 other posts at some time or another "work work work" so I changed it to Sewing McSewerson. Even though I didn't actually do any sewing this weekend but I did a lot of embroidery so that counts. We stayed in pretty much all weekend. Got out Saturday morning and ran ...
We had to buy a new printer. Ours kicked the bucket. Boo! I've got a ton of stuff to print for VisionCon so we ordered a new one and it should arrive tomorrow. Yay. I got two nice 8x10 display portfolios for Christmas that I'm going to print off a lot of my costume photos to display on my table at VisionCon. I thought it would be a nice way ...
