Another weird week. Didn't go out for New Year's - that's not new, we haven't gone out in years - but we also still didn't have Christmas because half the family is still covid positive. My mom finally tested negative this morning. Last week we had Cath & family staying with us for a couple of days. We really need to roll back the carpet in Kevin's room, tighten up ...
All rightie it's that time of the year when we compare last year's to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here's what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023... 1. Finish Wedding Leia -- YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia -- YES! I have been saying I was going to do this for a few years and I can finally mark it off now. 3. ...
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a panic attack wearing it at dcon 2015 - it was too hot, it ...
Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn't come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don't feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let's recap it all.... I can't remember if I posted our badge ribbons we were handing out? I was giving out bun ...
Well not quite but it's close enough. I'm in good shape. Here's a random pic I took of the jedi Leia tunic last week just for IG. No updates here. Got a new button cover kit last week, so I replaced Padme's cuff buttons for a 3rd time. Please I never want to do this again. Luna supervised. Finished all my little updates on wedding Leia. Since the April photoshoot ...
I feel like I didn't get much done last week, but then I look back at where I was last week and realize... I did get a lot done. I finished up Bail. I didn't like the trim I bought for the neckline, so I made some out of leftover Vader pleather. Also added some elastic loops to the bottom right edge that the belt with thread through, to keep ...
Yes, we took Saturday off costume work and did a double feature. We started with breakfast at the Liquor Store: Then off to see Oppenheimer on the imax: Chase got a leg cramp right as they were starting the Trinity test. He had to awkwardly try to get out of the aisle, then was stuck standing in the hall for the rest of the movie because of the cramp. I ...
Did I mention before I'm doing an X-Files rewatch? I was going to watch all of Voyager after finishing TOS, but instead I got sucked into one of my OG fandoms. Fond memories of scouring the 90s internet for X-Files fanfics... Oh and did I mention I'm doing a Scully costume for Dragoncon? LOL Just a cheap quick thing. Using my Diane skirt, buying a blazer. I went ahead and ...
