2017 Year in Review
It’s that time of the year again… time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did…

Medieval Leia, birthday stuff
So Friday night we threw up the smaller backdrop and quickly reshot Medieval Leia and TFA Leia. They turned out MUCH MUCH better. No more harsh shadows from the buns across my face and TFA dress isn’t blown out. I got medieval Leia pics back and uploaded yesterday. So I’ll have her portfolio page updated sometime soon. I’m hoping to…

So my high school reunion is coming up. Am I going? Anyway lots to talk about from this weekend!! Friday night Chase & I had tickets to go see Young Frankenstein at Elmwood Cemetery.

I do have some welding glass but according to what I’ve read it’s not dark enough. And I also forgot to get new breakfast…

I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating. I really don’t have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I’ll…

rock and roll
So this weekend was…strange. Thursday I had a hair appointment after work — to get my Mon Mothma wig trimmed! This was the before. I didn’t think to take an after. He cut a lot off to thin it out! Looks much better! And also my ribbon for the white medieval dress came in: So pretty! I got some more…

a big white marshmallow
Got home from work yesterday and discovered that my fabric from Dharma for my 4th dragoncon costume had arrived! I got 10 yds of their “Essex” cotton/linen blend. It’s really nice, I was really happy with it! Night before last I’d gotten all my pattern pieces out and ready so after dinner I got all the pieces cut out pretty…

Hi! First up is the great news that my international shipment of stuff for the Pink Thing IS IN THE US!! It went through customs yesterday!! The projected delivery date was 8/8-8/22 and 8/22 was pushing it WAY too late so I’m so relieved that it’s here in the states and hopefully will start moving my way later today/tomorrow. I…
