weird & wacky

When you have so few pics for today's post that you don't even have a good one for a header... So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don't actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher - I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets set in for the communicator, ended up taking up the ...

dragoncon blues

HI! I'm home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let's backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless! Somehow! Well, except for my GPS trying to take us to ...

Dragoncon Eve

Happy Dragoncon Eve! It's happy because I FINISHED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. Well like 99.9% but still, everything major is DONE and if the stuff I plan on doing tonight doesn't get done, it's not a big deal. So my to-do list is: Run one errand after work Do laundry Trim that lacefront wig that's arriving today (the base for the Amidala wig I'm going to use as my hairline) Try darkening ...

I got the robe finished late last week. I ended up taking the collar off the robe and sewing it onto a t-shirt that I'll just wear underneath it. It made life a whole lot easier. Friday was wig melt-down day. Had to completely take apart everything I'd gotten done on it prior to ...

it’s your rare mid-week post

I don't have my phone today. It has made me very aware of how many times a day I reach for my phone for no particular reason. Like literally every 10 minutes. It's getting a new battery put in today. I wanted to just go ahead and buy a new phone, because it's time, but Chase said some new phone comes out in September so we should wait til then so ...

a trip and a lot of beading

Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don't have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it's just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday, it was hair appt day! Before After I feel like ...

the beadings will continue until dragoncon

So let's see, what have I done since last weekend? Oh that's right, I sat on the couch and beaded every single day. Ok so first. I was telling Kristie that I didn't like the bugle beads and was going to take them off that first test piece and redo them. She looked at my reference and was like, "uh I don't think that's beads, that looks like some kind ...

weekend stuff

Sooooo this weekend. To be honest I don't want to go into the shittiness of most of this weekend; but the one point relevant to my blog is that Kes is sick and we don't know how long we have with her. It is tough. So that is all I am going to say about that. I'm going to focus on the costume and art stuff today, and new home ...

I'm not opening ...

a very moving weekend

Guess what! Chase and I are homeless. We closed on our house Friday. All done. The new owner takes possession a week from today, so we have until then to move out. It's so strange feeling. Like I said, I'm a little sad. It's been a great home. But before I get too far into all that, let's go back and start where I left off! I had Tuesday off ...
