Our Pumpkins – 2011
We went and picked out pumpkins last night and carved them! Well, Chase and Ash carved pumpkins, I emptied ours out (the only part I like) and then sat in the living room and watched Simpsons’ Halloween specials until they were done LOL Ash did a Cyberman: And Chase did one of ours, Mike Wazowski: We’re also doing a Sully…

GMX 2011 Pics
Here’s a handful of pics from GMX – didn’t take a lot. Me as Donna and Kevin as 11 in front of the TARDIS: A cool weeping angel, and the MST3k bots! We broke K-9 out for about a half hour on Sunday before we left. I didn’t wear Wonder Woman and didn’t get any pics of Rose. I’ll wear…

One more Wonder Woman update
Leaving for GMX tonight, so last WW update! Chase finished my Wonder Woman chestpiece and tiara, and he’s finishing the belt today. Here they are yesterday afternoon: Finished up Ash’s Ood jacket but really not happy with it; definitely remaking it before Dcon next year. So, since 4 people and K-9 take up quite a bit of space, I’m only…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress, Doctor Who, etc
done! (almost) Bodice is done except for a few little places I need to clean up. Now onto finishing the bottoms and boots, and finishing Ashley’s Ood jacket. Yesterday we finished shopping for my cousin’s budget 11th Doctor costume. Found a Stetson pretty cheap, and a decent “look a like” pair of boots which we’re going to polish to be…

home alone… time to dress up the dog
I was home along last night since Chase was shooting, so I remade the outside layer of my bodice. (pluuss I got the fabric for $5 and it’s what I wanted originally, the same as I used for my 2009 Wonder Woman, couldn’t find it first time I went shopping for this.) So anyway, I got it cut out thursday…

Orko Tutorial
Orko is one of my favourite things I’ve made over the years so I’m happy to do this little write up for mermush on twitter. It’s been a while since I made him so I’m sorry if I forget anything/something doesn’t make sense! Everything I used: a small teddy bear a small bouncy ball for the head Doll’s straw hat…

More DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
I went over the decorative stitching again last night and it’s much more visible now. The flash still blows it out, so it’s hard to take a picture of like this. I sewed my bra cups into the base also: Another shot of the outer piece: I’m really not happy with the fabric I got for the outside anymore, even…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
Last night I put the main bodice together and did the decorative stitching on it. Heres my guidelines drawn on the wrong side: Here’s the 3 layers pinned together, with the stitching done: But it’s a little hard to see. I’m going to go back over the lines again tonight and see if that helps. Heres a closeup of the…

I started on my GMX costume, DCnU Wonder Woman, this weekend. Here’s my fabric: Red canvas & cotton for the interior of the bodice, red matte satin for the outside. Navy blue spandex for the bottoms. I also bought a pair of navy blue leggings to do the pants version also – I don’t know if I’ll have time to…

I haven’t posted about my birthday – I’m a little behind, my birthday was two weeks ago, LOL. But it was a fun one. Woke up that morning to Chase having decorated the living room, and with my presents on the coffee table…. He got me an Adipose, which was like the one thing I asked for, Disney Beauty &…

New Photos: Donna, Emma, Jane, etc
I’m sorry I still haven’t finished the site! It took longer than I expected to move my content over (which is done!), so I still have finished it, looks-wise. I do have some updates – all of my Dragoncon costumes are up of course, and I have new photos for Jane, Mara Jade as Arica, Donna Noble, Ms Marvel, Lady…

Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

Marie, K-9 and Flat Ryan
That particular outing, K-9 had a video camera behind his eyes instead of his regular “eyeballs” – I was showing Ryan to K-9 so he would be on his video.
