In which I comment on old costume lists
Going back through some of my oldest posts about costumes I want to do and I found some hilarious ideas and notes and thoughts. I am going to comment on some of these. Here’s some costume ideas I wrote down back in 1998… I underlined the parts I find funny. [quote]Costume Idea #1. Chun-Li. So it’s been done to death.…

blah
I like typing in a subject for my post, waiting on the permalink to create the link with that subject… and seeing how many times I’ve used that subject before. I’ve apparently had 9 other posts also titled “blah” because this is “blah-10”. Today is very blah. Work is stressing me out. I just want to go to Disney already!…

a bit of everything
new magic bands! I’m Jyn, Chase is Cassian, Kevin is K2SO. I may wear this new one instead of my Haunted Mansion band… my Haunted Mansion band will always kinda be my “AP Year” magic band. Speaking of which, our APs officially expire tomorrow. Anyway, Kevin got to open the box with me, he’s excited! This is our first time…

to-do
I finished my pants last night!!! Like I said last time I’d done the mock-up Saturday so I had a good idea of what I was doing, got the pieces cut out that night but then spent all day Sunday on the tunic. So when I got home from work yesterday I jumped into the pants… haha, jumped into the…

Disney post
I got to wondering why I hadn’t heard anything on our magic bands, logged in this morning to see they shipped last week but I never got a notification and neither did Chase. That’s really weird. Thankfully I’d done our customizations ages ago when we booked it, so they didn’t ship out grey and boring. I’m sure other people’s are…

you old sew-and-sew
So let’s see where did I leave off? Friday after work I went and got Kevin (he’s staying with us for about 2 weeks) and we went down to midtown to see dad’s St Patrick’s band play! After that went home and I worked on a mock-up for my collar but realized I really needed some plain cotton to get…

it’s dooooooone
So I got home yesterday and instead of jumping into the last little bit of embroidery I needed to do, I decided I was mentally ready to dye my shoes and lining. Shoes were first and took to the dye beautifully: After they sat and dried for a while, I put them back in again during round 3 of dyeing…

I’m almost there
Last night I got alllllllmost done with the big spires. I could’ve stayed up another half hour and finished the last one but I was tired, so I’ll finish it tonight. Then I have that one little yellow bit to finish, and then I have to figure out the shadow Xs in the upper spires — I didn’t trace them…

I hate everything
I had Friday off so I worked solid Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Didn’t go anywhere. Just stopped to eat, sleep, bathe, find new thing to watch/listen to. The stupid weather being crazy made me have a migraine the ENTIRE TIME and it’s still on-going today. I’m ready to rip my head off. I’m so so so sick of embroidering. On…

i can see the light at the end of the tunnel
…and hopefully it’s not a train. I worked pretty much non-stop on Bespin all weekend. From the time I got home Friday through around 10:30 last night. Stopped Saturday to run to the bookstore and dinner with my parents. And for a couple of naps. Again not a great photo of it, the lighting in our bedroom is awful and…

go, and never darken my towels again
I’m breaking this up into sections so I don’t forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I’ve done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here’s Kylo Ren: whatever Here’s Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started…

Visioncon!!
Visioncon was awesome, I’m going to try to write everything down before I start forgetting stuff… though I’m sure I’ll still forget something anyhow! Thursday I got home from work and finished packing… It was really like a Dragoncon trip. Had my Dcon bin, 7 garment bags with 2-3 things in each of them, 3 wig boxes, makeup case, our…

Bespin Leia stuff
So at this point I’m almost done with all of the yellow spires… I have to finish the upper center, and I’m probably going to redo the middle left upper spire too – it was the first one I did and it doesn’t look great. The bottom section with the flowers is totally done. Once I finish the spires all…

A super quick art post
I managed to finish my prequel trio!! So I’ll have all 4 sets available as prints at Visioncon. Here’s Anakin His pose ended up being stiffer looking than I wanted but OH well. Obi-Wan: I like how this one turned out, pretty happy with it. I decided to put them both in their Clone Wars looks… more interesting to draw…

Rogue One art
I have absolutely no progress to show on my embroidery because I mean, it all looks the same. Hi here’s another flower it took me 4 hours of my life and it looks exactly like the other 24 I’ve done already. I am ALMOST done with the bottom half. I should finish it up this weekend. And my hope is…

My life is nothing but embroidery
I embroidered all weekend long. Like all day Friday non-stop while I had the day off. Found Unsolved Mysteries (the old Robert Stacks episodes!) on Amazon Prime and just dug in. All day Saturday, just stopped to run out to breakfast with my parents and a few errands (needed more embroidery floss). Sunday morning I took a break to start…

Some art and some embroidery and a day off
I misspelled embroidery in the title and it was “broidery” which I think is the manly bro version of embroidery. So I finished a couple of other art things recently, in that Star Wars series I’ve been doing. First up is Luke I’m pretty happy with how he turned out. And then Han Pretty happy with this one, too. I…

VisionCon 2017!
I’ve mentioned it before but here’s my whole big post about it! I will be a guest at VisionCon in a few weeks, Feb 24th-26th! I’m super excited. I have never been to VisionCon and everything I’ve seen looks awesome and the con staff have been wonderful to work with already! I will have a booth in the exhibit hall…

I am a train
Trying to think of another post title that’s not “monday again” or something and I typed the first thing that came to mind. “I am a train.” OK. (I’m pretty certain that’s due to having Arlo Guthrie’s “The City of New Orleans” stuck in my head the past couple of days thanks to it playing in the grocery store on…
