2020 wrap-up

I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn't think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I'm angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did actually get a decent amount of sewing done this year despite having ...

merry christmas

Do I already have a christmas tree up? Why yes, yes I do. It's officially Christmas time in our house. First up - here's the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a few trick or treaters! 4 all together, 2 groups of 2. I had ...

good morning to everyone except covid-19

I had a dragoncon dream last night. It was dragoncon 2021 and I was so relieved they still had the convention despite coronavirus. And then I woke up sad. Chase and I took Friday off work and went to early vote. I feel like I'm the only person on social media without a cute mask. I've made a couple of masks but I find them too hard to breath in (and ...

i have things

For the first time in a few weeks I actually have things to post! WOW First let's talk about the pet dramas. My parents rented a cabin and went on a short vacation last week. So Skye came over and stayed with us. It was nice to have company in my work office all day, since Luna won't ever come up here. Best coworker She was a good girl all ...

it’s another post with no content

Hey look it's Monday again and again I have nothing of interest to post today. I had wanted to finish up Sleeping Beauty this weekend. I did not. My eyelets for the bodice were supposed to arrive Friday and they didn't. They show delivered but they're not. And amazon won't let me report it until tomorrow because they seem to think they'll be here today. The eyelets were the next ...

hooked on a feeling

Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I'll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I'll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the non-baby bump ones better... EXCEPT that I didn't realize one of ...

a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it

Like seriously I don't have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend... I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn't get to do that because... oh wait. Did I ever mention our plumbing issues here? I can't remember and I'm too ...

looks like somebody has a case of the mondays

Good grief I can't remember what I posted last week except that sad dog, I'm going to have to go back and look to see where I left off.... Ok. Now I'm on track. Last week I said I was going to dye that silk on thursday well I did it Monday night. I put both my excess fabric (meant for the sleeves) and the skirt in some "emerald green" ...

Dressform Pics

Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...

Oops: Updates & a Sleeping Beauty GIF

Sorry no new updates. I know I promised pics but haven't gotten around to it! I'm almost done with Wasp, hopefully finishing up her dress tonight, and bought my wig tonight. I'll take some progress pics tonight. I cut out Belle's bodice last night, putting it together today. Made the mockup for my cousin's costume and it actually fit right first attempt. Very proud of myself! The biggest news though ...
