Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con - not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I'm not so sure I like this photo yet I do like the photo. Such a conundrum. This one is ...
We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...
When I'm stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I've been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out... I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it's today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked last night. Holy crap is it heavy. But everything is ...
I haven't posted much lately... haven't had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma's for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I'd do it... I did it)... this time I wasn't messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got at Megacon on, too. Ash and I watched Paolo Garbanzo ...
I've never had free time in August. It's so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better for us so we just grabbed umbrellas and went. I ...
Happy Monday :P It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I've been planning to make for our next Disney trip - just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a lot of kids there and Chase and I enjoyed looking ...
Wednesday night and last night I worked on the new shrug. Got it finished up last night: Besides being a bit smaller, I also opted to line it in the same black taffeta I used for the bodice lining, instead of two layers of the velveteen. That helped cut down on the bulk a bit. I also interfaced the collar this time. I ran to Hobby Lobby yesterday afternoon and ...
After curling and recurling the side ponys like 12 times I finally settled on some curls I like. They still stick out a little too far, and I messed one of them up (cut the elastic off by mistake, ugh), but I think at this point I'm sticking with them. And I finished remaking my shawl but I have no photos. Why? Because I'm still not happy with it. It's not ...
ugh! it's monday again. Starting to feel sad about not being at DragonCon Thurs-Fri. (Not really so much Sunday because usually by Sunday I'm ready to go home LOL) I think it's because I've been looking back at old pictures a lot recently and feeling nostalgic for "old" DragonCon. I've been wanting to do another "look back" post... I might do that after this one. I was off work early ...
So you know Monday my car had to have 2 new front tires and an alignment. Got that done. Today I went to leave for work, and my battery is dead. Wouldn't take a jump. Chase had to take me to work and then I had to beg a ride from mom since I'm off early today. Last night we had a good dinner, Chase put a roast in the crock ...
