everybody scream
Well it’s been 2 weeks since Dragon Con and I still don’t have all of the photos up.. BUT I do have the costume construction pages up for everything new: Padme Picnic Gown, Morticia, Space Mutiny, and Rogue. Here’s a few more pics I’ve uploaded since last week: Glad I just had Chase take this picture in this photo-op instead…

this is not the post you’re looking for
Well this is not the Dragon Con part 2 post I was planning to post today – I still don’t have Chase’s pics from him, except for picnic Padme. So I’ll post a few of those, plus some I’ve found. I don’t like any of my picnic Padme pictures. They were all very BLUE from the light coming in the…

what is going on in here on this day
Oh my god I’m back again with my 25th dragon con recap. It’s been over a week so I’m probably going to struggle to remember everything at this point LOL Also work has been full on NUTS since I came back and I hate it. Monday last week we both worked half days and hit the road around 1. Everything…

all my bags are packed
Well, here we are, end of the road – did everything get done? Ehhhh kinda. “Done enough.” Picnic Padme is done. I packed a bag of sequins and a needle and thread to maybe work on in the hotel room. We’ll see if I feel like doing that or not. I got the ribbons dyed, pressed and pieced out. They…

It’s mayyybe the last post before Dragon Con. Who knows. I may be able update next Monday. I may update later this week. No idea how things will shake out.

dragoncon approacheth
Let’s start with going through last week’s to-do list project-by-project: Morticia: The only thing off last week’s list is that I got the sleeve lace sewn on. That’s it, but it does mean the dress is done, all that’s left is the wig/make-up/try on and if I have time to add the beading. I did bring the dress and beads…

karma’s a relaxing thought
Back back back again with some good updates. But first let’s talk drama! Tuesday afternoon, I went out on the front porch to bring in some packages, and our neighbor’s cat Benny was out there. Benny and his brother come over often and hang out on our front porch and sometimes get treats, they are very friendly. Well Tuesday, Benny…

you must be swift as the coursing river
I got a lot done in the past week!! Feeling better about things. Biggest hurdle: I got all these damn cut outs on the picnic bodice done. I didn’t do them all the way around, I stopped at the side seam because I did not want to do any more than I had to LOL I tried this a whole…

star trekkin’
I still don’t have much to talk about this week LOL Tuesday we went to see Project Hail Mary with my parents. I went into it knowing nothing about except Ryan Gosling in a fox sweater, space, and a creature of some sort named Rocky. I loved it! Now I want to read the book – but I’m in the…

post-dragoncon dump
I may not be in the best mental place to be writing this but I need to do it before I forget everything. 24th Dragoncon is done and in the books. We left before dawn Tuesday morning. Before After Parents first time at Bucee’s! Check-in was smooth. The news of Taylor and Travis’ engagement broke just as we were pulling…

ellipses
Hey look I’m in good enough shape to be posting on my day off! Let’s just go through every project one by one. The Trois: Deanna has been done and partially packed. I did not try the whole thing on together so it’ll be a FUN SURPRISE to even me at Dragoncon. Lwaxana is finished, mom came over and we…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

you exist in the context
oh hi. It’s getting close to panic time for dragoncon. A while back Jess made a comment about my the Taylor Swift game mastermind in relation to my dragoncon line-up – so I had to do my dragoncon line up that way: Those 10 are pretty much confirmed. Left off the 2 unconfirmed for now. Here’s where we stand at…

Dragoncon 2023 – the costume recap
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a…

Dragoncon 2023 – the general recap
Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn’t come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don’t feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let’s recap it all…. I can’t remember if I posted our badge…

it’s dragoncon eve
I really don’t have much to post today, no real costume updates to mention. This past week has mostly just been slowly packing, and helping Chase finish up Vader: He finally got to try it all on last night. The only thing that didn’t work was his shinguards, so after this pic we replaced the strapping with something different that…

dragoncon updates
I know I just posted yesterday, it’s dragoncon season, I’ll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. 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…

dragoncon 2021
I realllly was wanting to put together my dragoncon line-up for instagram the other day but I felt like it might jinx it. So instead here I am writing an extra blog post for the week because I’m having an irritating day and needed a nice distraction. Even though I kinda already went over this in a post a couple…
