    Timegate 2012

    Ok, so finally got my Timegate pictures uploaded last night! So here’s a quick recap of the weekend. We left Friday around 1, and got into Atlanta around 9.

    Random post of Randomness: House Stuff, etc

    So I was going to upload my Timegate photos tonight but never got around to it because I started reorganizing the kitchen. I didn’t mean to reorganize the kitchen, I was just filling up our new shelf in the kitchen, but it just escalated like those things do. Here’s the new shelf! The island on the bottom right corner is…

    Cleaning my office

    Chase helped me tackle the closet in my office yesterday. While I’ve cleaned and reorganized my office in the past few months, the closet I haven’t messed with since before dragoncon last year. I have 11 bins shoved in there, and 5 of them just had various scraps of random stuff in them. Chase helped me pull all the bins…

    More Hocus Pocus Progress

    Here’s what I’ve been working on! My Hocus Pocus costume is coming along. I’m doing the Sarah Sanderson costume – my cousin is being Winnie and Ash is being Mary.

    Romana & Belle Progress

    This post is useless without pictures, but ah well. I finished Belle, finally, with the exception of the hairbow. I bought some ribbon that’s fairly close and I’m hoping to just make a bow and glue it to a barrette, instead of having to tie it on everytime like I’ve done in the past. Romana is almost done, too. I’ve…

    Random costume notes

    Not a lot to mention recently. I posted on my main page that I got my Batgirl mask! I’m so excited about it. I’m doing the new 52 version, mostly because I like the purple cape. I’ve only barely started planning it; I’ve ordered some swatches for the suit and I’m going to start patterning it soon. I got my…

    Belle Updates, Laundry Room, etc

    I haven’t had anything to work on recently so I’ve been working on Belle again. I got the apron made and the sleeves done. All that’s left now is attaching the collar. I’ve also got to figure out a hairbow, since I threw away the scraps of the blue material when we moved from the apartment. But – who knows,…
