Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here's a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but you can read along too if you're really curious. Things ...
I'm posting this here so I can refer back to it because if I save this on my computer I'll never look at it again. I made a list of all the costumes that I still have that haven't been shot on the white backdrop. I separated them into groups: Costumes that can be shot right now: Raddus Bridge Leia Mothman Bespin Leia Disneybound Carrie Fisher Comfy Ariel Costumes that ...
So first a Chase update. LIke I said in my last post, he ended up having to call an ambulance and go to the ER. My parents were thankfully able to sit with him until I got off work. They did another MRI and gave him a ton of pain meds and some muscle relaxers and by the time he got discharged that night felt like nearly normal. Very little ...
Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don't have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it's just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday, it was hair appt day! Before After I feel like ...
Everything is back to normal in our house. Luna is no longer in hiding. We will try again after Dragon Con. I was just exhausted yesterday and ended up with another flipping migraine. Still got a decent amount of work done on the hat. Can't show any photos tho. Sorrrrrrrry. I bought some big pearls for this project and can't find them ANYWHERE. Chase is going to help me look ...
Didn't get a whole lot done last night. Well maybe kinda. Finished painting my shoes, got the lowest ruffle sewn on. Got the sequins sewn onto the straps and got the first line of sequins sewn across the top of the bodice. Had to handsew those so it took a little longer - I have to do one more line of them tonight. Also finish hand-sewing the top ruffle, and ...

I have a to-do list even though we're on the wrong side of the convention, haha. But I have a few things I need to get done over this weekend -- I'm doing an event in Amidala next weekend, so she needs some attention. And while I have it on we are going to do a white backdrop photoshoot, and also do Bespin Leia at the same time (and probably ...
We had a nice weekend, spent Friday evening-Sunday morning at my grandparents. I also FINALLY got Snapchat to work with an animal face: A few weeks ago Mema was ironing and ran outside for something or another... the cat knocked the iron over onto the floor and caused a lovely burn mark. They are having to get new tile put in but I'm glad I captured Catty Bob's attempt at ...
Because I forgot in the last post. Also I finally added a tag for the pink dress - it's "Pink dream dress" because last year I dreamed about this dress and it's why I wanted to make it. I haven't been tagging the posts because I didn't know what to call it til now! And wait... hold on... Joann Fabrics has a 1 yd and 3/4 and they're holding it for me ...
