this house has people in it

Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it's Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let's start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It's going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week we're going to go pick out paint to repaint the bedroom ...

dragoncon blues

HI! I'm home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let's backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless! Somehow! Well, except for my GPS trying to take us to ...

Some Tinkerbell, some art

I put off posting yesterday hoping I'd have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I've only got about half so far... but I'm gonna go ahead and post today anyway. I've still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven't stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move stuff every day after work... we got over half of ...

MidSouthCon 2018!

I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let's back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin's Peter Pan. As it turned out it was lucky I had that day off because we ended up having to have a dishwasher repairman come by (our 1.5 year old dishwasher decided to stop working, wtf), and we ...

its the update

I have a bunch of stuff to post. Buckle in! First loooook what came in the mail last week! I'm finally gonna retire my old Hermione. Been wanting to for a few years now! I bought Luna's wand back in 2015 intending to start on a Luna costume and just never have... but now I have a sweater and a patch... I'll probably start collecting more stuff for it later this ...

My fingertips are burnt off

Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That's how they feel today. So yeah that's mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn't use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading. Hand-sewed down the rest of the mesh along the waist. ...

A 4 day weekend…

Ahh gosh I don't remember what I posted about last time. Last week was mostly working on the Leia I was making for a friend. That's my new one on the left, hers on the right. I got it finished up on Thursday - and now I want to redo parts of mine, LOL. Namely that I made the dress a bit slimmer through the chest/waist. I want to ...

a waste of a day

Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me... I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can cover my legs up with it. But the past couple ...

OK SO!

Birthday blog month is over. Site look has been updated. Still need to update the art segment but I'll get to that in a bit here. Back to Tink! Round one of dyeing didn't turn out dark enough. So back in the dye once more. Better. I was left looking like I was ready to play Elphaba though. I didn't even realize I'd dripped it down my arms too until ...

Tink progress, Amidala fabric

Ok so wow... my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW! It's not perfect, but I think the pattern is good and has been the closest I could find in a decent fabric (found plenty in a cotton...). It's a little sheer, but ...
