fre sh vac a do
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…

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…

dragoncon 2017
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…

Photoshoot Stuff!! Part One
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…

Southern Fried Pics! (and Dolores)
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…

1 step forward, 3 steps back
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…

some art, some stuff, some dolores
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…

Sewing McSewerson
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…

she’s a total blam blam
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 8×10 display portfolios for Christmas that I’m going to print off a lot of my costume photos to display on my table…

the good & the bad
So Friday we got snow! Not a lot but it was enough to make driving a little scary. Unfortunately we didn’t get a snow day 🙁 I worked all day, Chase most of the day. So besides that I have two sets of costume updates – Bespin Leia (AKA the bad) and Dolores (AKA the good). Which do I start…

Happy New Year!
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017… UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence… sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn’t wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more…

Dolores, Kuwait, and the Sims
It’s a super random post today. First up, I’ve already talked about Carrie Fisher’s passing both on FB and instagram so I’m not going to do it here. I don’t want to talk about it no mo. In happier news we booked our hotel for Celebration. We are going to do 3 days at Disney, 1 at Universal, and 1…

Dolores progress
I got a good bit of work done last night! I started out by first off – fixing my ceremonial Leia belt. I got it out to take a photo last night and discovered one of the button covers on the conchos had popped off and nowhere was to be found. First time that’s ever happened with any of my…

Dolores, & bowling
This was a busy weekend! Saturday we spent the whole day running errands and Christmas shopping, pausing in the afternoon to go bowling for Ash’s birthday! I haven’t been bowling in probably a decade, so that was very interesting, LOL. None of us did very well but it was fun. Then some more shopping and then dinner for Ash’s birthday!…
