Sunday

This is also some non-Sunday stuff, but it's mostly Sunday. I spent the morning being lazy because I was so tired (and sore) from Saturday. Chase actually got out and did some yard work. Then we went and had lunch, picked up stuff for dinner, ran some of dad's equipment out to him (we loaded up in both our cars the night before). Then I came to do the 3rd ...

Is it Disney time yet???

So Friday and I had my "re-do" of my doctor's appointment from earlier in the year - the one I had the panic attack at and they sent me away! No panic attacks this time. BP was still high but not as bad as last time. It's over and done with for a year! But I for the past couple of weeks I've totally been stuck, like everything in my ...

not much to show

I sewed a little over the weekend, but not a lot. I got the design for the front panel of my Arianna dress finished and uploaded to spoonflower... but then couldn't find my spoonflower sample book. I'm pretty sure I want to do the Cotton Sateen, but I really wanted to feel the material first. Stupid sample book has been in my desk drawer for over a year, and now ...

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 headed or not. 1. Pink Dragon I made a giant, wear-able pink ...

Finished Costume: Georgian Belle

I've finished my pink georgian costume and have added it to my portfolio!

Moaaaaaaar pics

Slowly getting Chase's pics uploaded. Here's a couple of Peggy from thursday: I tell you, taking those shoulder pads out made a huge difference. My neck doesn't look so short now. Chase & I found an abandoned nook of the Hilton Saturday morning for the Doctor Who photoshoot and got some Donna photos... And then I MET A DOG DRESSED LIKE THE DOCTOR Group shot: And here's some of Chase's ...

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 take up the sleeves - they are still huge - but ...

almost time

I spent friday night/saturday finishing up everything. I finished my wig for the pink dress, outside of trimming the lacefront (I should do that this afternoon instead of when we get there... I'll do that at lunch), and made some hair decorations for it out of leftover materials. I put some snaps on the dress at the bottom to hold the swags in place. I finished up my corset (...

The light at the end of the tunnel

I've felt icky all week, the weather shifted and gave me a migraine and yesterday I just could not get it under control. It couldn't make up its mind whether or not it was now a migraine or a sinus headache, which means I take one medication, it doesn't work, take another, that doesn't work, take another -- ok that kinda worked but now you're sick to your stomach from ...

The Pink Beast’s Shoes

So a while back when I was hunting good wedge boots for Captain Marvel I stumbled across some of those cheap-o Halloween costume witch shoes. They were my size and they were only $5 on clearance. So I bought them. One day I will splurge on some American Duchess shoes, but for now, $5 is all this broke-ass can budget for shoes. Thursday night I started painting them white; I was covering ...
