    back to fake life

    I started to title this “back to real life” but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So — Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low…

So let’s go through ’em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday’s post. 1. Wanda Got my…

    2013 Year in Review

    2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

    GMX 2013

    Well it’s a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the…

    New Costume: Trillian

    I’ve finished our Trillian and Zaphod costumes and have added them to my portfolio! So Trillian and Zaphod ended up being a lot of fun! We did have a handful of people who were excited to see Hitchhiker’s Guide costumes, including one very drunk person who was excited to see people from “the fish movie” and one who told he…

    Dragoncon 2013!

    Well I’ve been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven’t posted a thing here – sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I…

    blargh.

    I don’t really want to go into details, but this past week has been rough. So I dove into sewing!! I kinda put Romana to the side for a bit, since I was tired of breathing in feathers and fur (I bought a mask to wear, so I can finish it up without hacking out feathers!) and started on one…

    You guys

    I’m so excited!!! There’s been a costume I’ve wanted Chase to do since we MET and he’s agreed to do it this year for Dragoncon! Which kinda throws my Dragoncon schedule into a tizzy because now there’s a costume I want to make for myself to go with his and that’s stuffing my schedule a little too full, so something…
