A 4 day weekend…
Ahh gosh I don’t remember what I posted about last time. Last week was mostly working on the Leia I was making for a friend. That’s my new one on the left, hers on the right. I got it finished up on Thursday – and now I want to redo parts of mine, LOL. Namely that I made the dress…

80s Murder Mystery, House stuff, Leia progress
Friday night we had a birthday party to go to! And we were going to be playing an 80s Murder Mystery game, so we had to come as our characters. I was “Toni Oregano” who had 1 hit with “Hey Dickie” and who also ran a mogwai rescue. LOL. Chase was “Nork from Pork” who was on a popular tv…

a waste of a day
Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me… I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can…

OK SO!
Birthday blog month is over. Site look has been updated. Still need to update the art segment but I’ll get to that in a bit here. Back to Tink! Round one of dyeing didn’t turn out dark enough. So back in the dye once more. Better. I was left looking like I was ready to play Elphaba though. I didn’t…

Tink progress, Amidala fabric
Ok so wow… my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW! It’s not perfect, but I think the pattern is good and has been the closest I could find in a decent fabric…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2006-2009
Today’s post covers my favourite/notable costume blog posts from 2006-2009. These were some pretty busy years, sewing wise – but a lot of it was just more of the same, there’s not a lot that’s notable off the top of my head. So let’s see if this ends up being as long as 2003-2005 was… January 7, 2006 – ONE…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 2003-2005
This post is dedicated to my fav/notable/memorable costume moments of 2003-2005! I did a lot of costumes in 2003. More than any other year to date. But that’s because a lot of them weren’t made – they were “piece mealed” together out of stuff I bought. (I don’t do a lot of that anymore.) 2004 was a transitional year. I…

Tinkerbell and a 3 day weekend
I took Friday off so I could sew, guess how much sew I got done?! (Hint: not a lot. At least not that day.) I bummed around all morning, then went to Hobby Lobby because I needed a new roll of paper for making patterns. Then I was done earlier than expected, but I’d ordered my lunch online set for…

It’s not a big post, but it’s a good one
I’ve been down with a migraine since tuesday… which especially sucks because I’m working overtime this week so I can be off friday so my work days are extra long. I basically come home from work, eat, have a bath, and go to bed at like 9 because I’m so tired from the migraine. Hopefully it goes away today. Tuesday…

A Non-Birthday Blog Post
It’s been a bit since I did a regular post! I’ve been concentrating on getting the birthday blog posts up and going. So let me pick up since the last post. Chase and I split an amazon gift card from Christmas and I got this: Oh yes. It’s good. And we got a lion hat for Luna. She hates it.…

Happy New Year!
GUESS WHAT! My blog is 20 years old now. It’s in college. My earliest blog posts were late 97/early 98 and the oldest post I was able to track down to reupload was from January 8, 1998. I think next week I will do a big post about it for its birthday! So anyway, this weekend was rather lazy. Mostly…

I have gazillion things to post
Wow I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start… We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little…

The Last Jedi
Site updates: Patreon Print Store is live. I been waffling about where to list all of my costume/art prints I’ve been saying I’m going to list for ages. And then it was finding the time to individually list them all. But then I realized, hey I need stuff for my new patreon. Let’s just make them all a patreon reward…

2017 Year in Review
It’s that time of the year again… time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did…

it’s the weekly monday post
Friday was busy!! So Wednesday last week I pulled out Belle to double check everything – it needed some roses replaced and some of the appliques sewn back on. And I needed to restyle the wig since I took it down for Dorothy. Then Friday I came straight home from work and started getting ready. I experimented a little bit…

Sci-Fi Night, Leia progress, etc
It’s the usual post-weekend Monday update. First up! Saturday night we went to Sci-Fi night with the Riverkings. When they say “take a silly picture” I never know what to do LOL It was fun, Chase wants to go to another game just to sit and watch. Which brings me to Leia updates…. This was probably the second-to-last troop for…

More Leia progress, and an ambulance
So yesterday morning was a little weird. I was on the ramp getting off the interstate on my way work, sitting in a line at the light waiting to turn left. I heard an ambulance siren…. look around try to see where it’s coming from. Turned out it was coming up the ramp behind me, but I was 2nd in…
