Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers in and went to work LOL MY TIKI BIRD DRESS ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
I wore this both Thursday night - to take advantage of my crazy hair from Marie Antoinette - and Saturday afternoon (only for a few minutes). I've got a few more pics of Dr F coming soon from Chase. I didn't wear it terribly long on Thursday because Tom made my arm pretty sore LOL And I threw it on just for fun Sat afternoon when I got Joel, Trace ...
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let's look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it was going to be too much work the way I was wanting ...
Well it's a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the photo scavenger hunt I set up for him all weekend, ...
I pulled Dr Forrester out today to rework it for GMX. This was it originally, last year for Halloween: I just made it very quickly and straight off the pattern, so it was too big. Which was fine for something fun and comfortable for work, but I wanted to rework parts of it to wear to a con. I added some darts to the front and back, took up the ...
Sorry I haven't posted much lately. There's not really a lot to talk about. It's the normal post-Dragoncon lull. Besides that work has been stressful so I've been spending a lot of time just trying to relax and falling asleep early every night. My sewing room is a disaster. Even though I put all my Dragoncon costumes away the weekend after the con! It was a new record! But somehow ...
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near as many trick-or-treaters as we have the past few years, ...
I've finished my Dr Forrester (MST3K) costume, and added it to my portfolio!
