Got Chase's pics from Saturday uploaded! Sometimes when I know I'm in the background of a photo Chase is taking I just stare at him. Trying to convince a little boy which Star Wars Lego he should get... I was pushing for Leia... the stormtroopers were pushing for more stormtroopers.
I haven't gotten to troop this event since 2010, because they usually hold it right before Dragon Con when I'm sequestered to my sewing room. This year it was in May so I finally got to participate again! Leia problems: I can't get my sunglasses all the way on with the buns. They usually get stuck at some point so I have to wear them like this because some sunglasses is ...
Had a fun and busy weekend. We went up to Jackson Friday night to stay with my grandparents, had dinner at Cracker Barrel and drove Mema crazy with Snapchat. Catty Bob Saturday morning we did a bit of shopping. I got some fabric. Then it was time to head over to the ballpark for Star Wars night. The weather cleared up and we had a great turnout. So many little ...
Finally got my TFA pics uploaded - most of these are just from my iphone. These are from both Thurs night and a 2nd showing we trooped Saturday morning.
Thursday night - the girls!
Recreating our post-Attack of the Clones IHOP photo...
ALL THE LEIAS!
Back in the heyday of Star Wars prequels, Harry ...
Chase gave me his pictures from the Grizz Star Wars Night! Before the crowd... Photo-ops (the X-Wing pilots were the Grizz Spirit Squad) Yoda selfie Got to get pics with some awesome people Group pics After the game, couple of shots on the way to the car. Yay.
Friday night was the Grizz Star Wars Night! Chase hasn't sent me his photos yet. Here's a few off my phone. My new buns! They worked pretty well! The hair is still pretty slippery, being brand new, but a ton of hairspray (seriously eyes were watering, I had to step out of the bathroom for a few minutes) kept them in place all night. We mostly hung out upstairs and ...
First up, the last few from the photoshoot - Magik, Johanna and Romana I. Romana was towards the end because dumbing down the white backdrop to total white was difficult around those feathers. Over the years some dings and scratches and paint peels have occurred on my Magik armor... and I really like it, I wish I had more of them. Haha. And finally Johanna. So this past week I ...
Yep ya'll are getting multiple posts for FAQ Friday today! With Halloween creeping up, I get asked about my Leia costumes a lot. A lot of times it's folks who are new to sewing and not sure where to start. And a lot of times they're interested in what I consider to be costumes that are pretty tough for a beginner. So today I'm going to rank Leia's costumes in ...
So last week I posted "Method #2" for doing Princess Leia Buns (aka, the "donut" version). That method was a quick way to do the buns using what I had on hand, without spending a lot of money, since my regular hair pieces don't match my hair color very well anymore. This "Method #1" (aka, "cinnamon bun method") I'm going to show you today is the way I have done my Leia ...
I've had this FAQ written for AGES but never could find the time to add the photos. One day it posted by mistake, sans photos, so I deleted it. I finally uploaded the photos so I figured I'd better write it again and post it this time! And this is only part one -- it shows you ONE way I do my Leia buns - and it's not my "normal" ...
