Dragon
I haven’t posted in a few days – sorry! Since getting back from Disney World, we’ve been rushing to finish up the Dragon project we’ve been working on. We’ve been making a Dragon costume for a middle school production of Shrek! We finally finished it up last night. I don’t have very good photos of it, because it’s meant for…

FAQ Friday: Mustafar Padme Hair
Sorry I don’t have any pictures for this like I do for my Leia hair breakdowns; I’m kinda doing this one on the fly! So here’s my best reference for the Mustafar hairstyle; this is from padawan’s guide: And here is an other screencap. To be perfectly honest, my Mustafar costume was a quick, very non-serious costume I did just…

Diiiiisney Wooooooooorld
We are home from vacation! Unfortunately I came home with a nasty little cold. I stayed home from work yesterday and, though I came in this morning, I’m probably going home at lunch. Honestly I don’t think I’ve had a cold like this in years! I was worried this morning I had pinkeye but now pretty sure it’s not, just…

FAQ Friday: Snow White Collar Attachment
This is a question I’ve gotten a handful of times, and I took some photos of my collar/bodice attachment over the weekend, so I figured this would make a good entry for FAQ Friday – especially appropriate this week as I’ll be at Disney World when this posts 🙂 So anyway, my Snow White costume has a lace-up back with…

Random Annoyances
When I see someone post a costume photo and it’s labeled/titled/described as nothing more than “cosplay girl.” (bonus if there’s absolutely no costumer/photographer credit, either.) It’s not just one person or website doing this. I’ve seen it for years, multiple places. In some cases it may be a case of not knowing who the character is. But generally, no. Instead…

All kinds of fun
All kinds of fun stuff in my inbox today. 1. I got my MidSouthCon schedule! You can see me at 3 panels over the weekend. I’ll post it up here closer to then. 2. Signed & sent back the release to Marvel for their call for Agent Carter cosplayers. Yay! 3. Disney Movie Club finally got me. After years of…

Sorry
Sorry to anybody digging through my blog lately. For one thing, I know it’s a mess because I haven’t kept up with tags. Secondly, I must seem like a crazy person with my crazy happy Disney posts followed by my crazy sad Indy posts. That’s just my life right now. I’ve gone through and hidden a lot of my sad…

Peggy photoshoot
First off, apologies for having a half-finished FAQ Friday post up here Friday/Saturday! I had scheduled it to post Friday but never got around to finishing it, and forgot to move it. I’ll try to finish it up for this Friday! Friday evening Chase & I did a quick photoshoot of my Peggy costume. We started out with the standard…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place. Here’s my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 – I’ve only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we…

Hat Watch
Mickey’s hand and more of the Sorcerer’s Hat gone today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios pic.twitter.com/wAtrYbBBX5 — WDW News Today (@WDWNT) January 22, 2015 I’m hoping there’s a clear view of the theater by the time we get there…. fingers crossed. I check everyday for updates on the demolition!

Disney excitement
I desperately need some Disney in my life right now. I’m so glad we have this trip coming up. Disney package paid for – check! Rental car booked – check! Dining reservations made – check! Universal tickets bought – doing that tomorrow! Getting there: As I probably mentioned before, we’re driving for the first time this trip. I haven’t driven…

My Disney Book
I’ve kept myself busy this week creating a little guidebook for our Disney trip (26 days!). At Barnes and Noble last year I saw this adorable tiny Disney guidebook – it was small enough to carry in a pocket, and had neat fold out maps and everything. And I really wanted it. Not that I necessarily needed the information… but…

FAQ Friday: All of my Costumes
Today’s question is… Just how many costumes have you done? It’s really hard to make a complete list. Everytime I try I end up forgetting something. But I’m going to give it a go. (I’m not counting costumes I made for friends, unless I also wore them at some point.) Last updated: June 2021 1. Star Trek TNG Uniform –…

Christmas
So yeah…. with that, Christmas was kind of an unhappy blur. She did get to spend Christmas with us – she got to go everywhere and see everybody and get lots of kisses from the whole family, so that was a blessing in the midst of everything. But, to attempt to focus on more happy stuff…. I got some really…

Indy
I wrote a nice memorial post for Calvin when he passed last year. I can’t do the same for Indy. There aren’t the words. We said goodbye yesterday. She was my baby and a part of me is gone forever. She lived to be 18 years old. She got me through the worst of high school, through college, through 3…

2014 Year in Review – 2015 Plans
It’s that time of year!! Time to look back at what I accomplished and what I… didn’t accomplish. So last year, I said I was going to make… 1. Willow – Buffy the Vampire Slayer Nope. Even though this would have been easy I just never got to it. 2. Johanna’s Interview Dress – Catching Fire I DID THIS ONE!…

Dressform Pics – Last bit
Here’s the last few I didn’t have uploaded yet yesterday. Anne was a bit too big to properly spread out the train. Did the best I could in the space I had. I was surprised I was able to get Johanna’s shirt on the dressform at all, but somehow I did. And I’m amazed the collar piece fit. (Early on…

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…
