this is halloween
Whoo! It’s been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to…

Happy 4th
Hi everybody! I’m back from my four day weekend. Did I do everything on that to-do list? HA. Of course not. The point of a to-do list is to look back and see everything you DIDN’T do. But I’ll get to all that. As usual, let’s start at the beginning… Friday night I picked up Kevin and we ran to…

2015 Year in Review!!
Maybe the morning after Star Wars isn’t the best time to do this. I went to bed hours after I normally do and still had to get up at 6:30 for work today so I am beyond fuzzy. BUT I realized I hadn’t done this yet and got all excited to type up the post, so here we go, fuzzy…

Dragoncon 2015: Costume recap
In (sort-of) order of wearing! 1. Peggy Carter I did some updates to Peggy – I took it up a bit through the waist and removed the shoulder pads, and fixed up the wig. It made a HUGE difference! The jacket fit much better and the wig looked way better, too. I just wish I could have had time to…

Urrrrrrgh
Well first, Donna progress: I’ve gotten quite a bit done on the lower half since my last update. The upper left side is almost done. I’m hoping that by the end of the week all of that section can be finished and I can focus on the lower “big triangle” bit. On the original, I’m like 99.9% certain all of…

One costume down!!
I finished the dress!! That’s one DragonCon costume down! Of course I STILL have not decided what all I’m making this year. I’m not totally feeling the two “big” costumes I was thinking of choosing between. Sigh. More on that later. I think my neck/collar ended up sitting a little lower than the real thing, but I think it’s cute…

More progress
I forgot I had this pic – here’s my wig for Queen Aelsa: I’ve gotten the two wigs sewn together, now I need to style it and add the decorations. Last night, I got my hem top-stitched, put the zipper in, and got the sleeves made and attached: Tonight, I get to figure out the collar. I don’t think it…

Dragoncon progress
I finally got started on a Dragoncon project!! Yes, the white elf dress I’m working on is also for Dragoncon – but I’m hoping to debut it at Memphis Comics Expo next month. So technically, it’s not a Dragoncon costume. I’m doing a Janet Snakehole/April Ludgate costume for fun. Easy comfy nighttime costume, and mostly made of stuff I already…

2014 Year in Review – 2015 Plans
It’s that time of year!! Time to look back at what I accomplished and what I… didn’t accomplish. So last year, I said I was going to make… 1. Willow – Buffy the Vampire Slayer Nope. Even though this would have been easy I just never got to it. 2. Johanna’s Interview Dress – Catching Fire I DID THIS ONE!…
