Yes I'm posting on a Friday, the world has gone mad. Nah we're just in THREAT LEVEL DRAGONCON so I thought I'd do an extra update. First, Ash and I had a good time in Nashville. Today's post title thanks to this wonderful album cover we saw at Great Escape. We had time to run around a bit before the show, went to Lush, went to the Pickers store, ate ...
Did anybody else's elementary school music class consist of mostly playing xylophones? Everytime the teacher assigned us a xylophone to play, I was always given one of the tiny ones to play. I always really wanted to play one of the bigger ones with the little mallets. Nobody ever let me play the big ones with the mallets. I'd sneak a "bong" on one as I went by it on ...
I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday's post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I'm going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the wig. The only thing left to do is finish my tricorder, ...
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 ...
I don't have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they're not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for my boot covers/gloves came in on Wednesday ...
Chase has JURY DUTY today!! I'm so relieved somebody OTHER than me finally has jury duty. But at the same time hoping he gets done quick and doesn't have to be down there all week. Because going downtown for that everyday sucks. Especially today, it was raining all morning and he had to walk a couple of blocks from the parking lot. Anyway, we've actually been downtown a lot the ...
So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of "finished"! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we'll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase's brother Scott is coming down to visit for a week (YAY)! Ok I initially typed out this giant block of ...
So my big plans for sewing all weekend and getting lots of stuff done were foiled by fabric! Namely by the fact I can't buy/find the fabric I need locally anymore EVER (*cough*Joann*cough*) so I have to buy online and hope what comes is what I need - either that or pay, wait 2 weeks on a fabric swatch, go back, buy fabric, wait another week on fabric ...
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 I?! Not really. I redid the wig, twice - once for Visioncon, and ...
Hi! I actually did costume stuff this weekend! I am here to tell you about it! But first let's start with Friday. Both Chase and I worked a half day Friday - why? Because Chase's documentary Finding Tobey had its first screening that night!! He has been working on this for FOUR YEARS, and it's finally done. We decided to both take a half day so we had plenty of ...
