haha i like it but not a lot

... i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if not... we'll just take the hit. I'm sad! Now we have ...

Into the great wide open

I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are... over a week later. But I do actually have more content now to post than just the Padme photos. Let's start ...

who totally forgot to post yesterday

I remembered late last night. I was like, oh today was Monday and I forgot to post on my blog. My schedule is all flipped upside down between the holiday and still adjusting to working from home. I have a ton of stuff to post so I'm going to break it up into sections. 1. SEWING! So after last week's post I got a little bit more done on the Raddus ...

crazy train

I'm honestly very surprised I didn't already have a blog post called "crazy train" considering how often we used to sing it at my old job. But I didn't! This weekend was CHOCK FULL OF EVERYTHING! First up, let's look at some sewing stuff. Last week I mostly focused on jedi Leia. My suede came in on tuesday so I jumped into making the yoke immediately. Cut out using the ...

Finding Tobey, more pics

Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers in and went to work LOL MY TIKI BIRD DRESS ...

Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by the time this rolled around by temps are still high ...

Photoshoot Stuff!! Part One

Sorry I haven't posted this week! It's been busy! This past weekend we did the symphony event -- which I'll talk about the next post -- and we'd originally planned to do this photoshoot before we left for the event Saturday night. But my tiara wasn't quite ready Saturday, and there was yardwork that needed to be done before the storms set in on Sunday. So we moved the photoshoot ...

That white backdrop tho

So a while back, I wrote a post about our white backdrop shoots, and... it has disappeared. I can find my "WHY" post, but not my "how" post. So, I'm posting a new one! For a quick recap, we started doing white backdrop photoshoots in 2009. I wanted to specifically recreate the Sally Jupiter "pin-up" art from Watchmen, and brought the idea up to my photographer husband. He thought that sounded ...

Edith Photoshoot

I'm really very happy with how the photos turned out! My aunt had one huge candle holder that would have been great... if it didn't weigh like 20 lbs! I couldn't it up. But the ones I could pick up looked nice too. This next picture is not my favourite - the flash didn't go off correctly - but it's the best pic for showing my makeup and some of the ...
