Hey look I'm posting on time this week! Which is good because I won't be posting on time next week, it's CHRIMAS. Well first lets post the new photoshoot results. The Scarlet Witch disneybound dress! I did add the sleeves just before the shoot. I wanted to do that as soon as we got back from the cruise, but as usual I put it off til the very last minute. ...
Yall I had over 1500 photos to go through when we got home. So it's taken me a hot minute to get everything lightened (every iphone photo inside had to be lightened...), uploaded, culled, etc. So let's dig in! Thursday 2/15 we got up bright and early and hit the road. I felt SO BAD the entire time leading up to the trip that Kevin wasn't going with us. It felt weird ...
All rightie it's that time of the year when we compare last year's to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here's what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023... 1. Finish Wedding Leia -- YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia -- YES! I have been saying I was going to do this for a few years and I can finally mark it off now. 3. ...
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a panic attack wearing it at dcon 2015 - it was too hot, it ...
It feels really good to be almost done with 6 new costumes + soft parts for 2 costumes for Chase nearly a month before Dragoncon. Ok so I'm just gonna go through my pics in order. We finally made our own badge ribbons to hand out this year! Obviously I'll be handing out the Space Bun Club ribbons LOL And Chase will have the Laszlo ones. Got out the wig I bought for ...
Well hi I'm back from Disney World. The trip was great, but also weird. It felt rushed. How does a week+ trip feel rushed? I've no idea. Luna knew something was up and was saaaaad Wednesday night I went and picked up Kevin. I got to do the surprise I've been planning for months. "Hey Kevin are you ready to go?" "Go where?" "Well where do you want to go?" "...
We get one nice day and then a storm blows in and makes it cold again. Had to wear a sweater to Easter. Can't remember the last time I had to wear something warm on Easter. Like the title says, I'm really tired of my winter clothes at this point and I'm ready to move on to shorts for a few months ok? Also this post is coming to you ...
Boy it has been a busy week, I actually have a lot to talk about for once. I spent most of last week finishing my dapper Leia shawl. Rebel symbols about 50-7% done? Symbols done, shawl hemmed. The hemming wasn't as neat as I would've liked, but I did it by hand and I'm still babying my right arm. (It was totally fine over the weekend until last night when ...
This morning has been an absolute clusterfuck. Today was our day to book dining, so Chase and I were up at 4:30 and ready to go with my list. Nothing came up til 5, and then the only thing we were able to book was dinner for our first night. I could see the dates after that and times but it wouldn't let book anything. "Unable to book at this time" - ...
Oh hey I forgot to include this in the post yesterday so here's a rare second post in a week. I finished the Marvel project! I ended up adding 4 more characters to the original planned 24 because they weren't fitting right, I needed a few more. Since finishing them I've gotten them all put together on one file and I'll show the finished product once I have it. Just as a ...
