Anime Expo Memories
This weekend is Anime Expo!! And I’m not going so I don’t know why that warranted two exclamation points. We went to Anime Expo once, in 2003. The way Ash and I managed that was that we talked our parents into doing it as a family vacation. We flew out to LA on… Wednesday I think? And on Thursday we…

wigs and dye and spider
Ugh… so over a year ago — almost two years ago now — I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I’d adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning…

Sunday
This is also some non-Sunday stuff, but it’s mostly Sunday. I spent the morning being lazy because I was so tired (and sore) from Saturday. Chase actually got out and did some yard work. Then we went and had lunch, picked up stuff for dinner, ran some of dad’s equipment out to him (we loaded up in both our cars…

A giant art post
Yes it’s a huge art dump. Well huge by today’s standards, not so much by like… me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I’ve been working on for a while… I got bored after I finished the face so I’d do just a little bit each day because I didn’t really feel like doing the rest LOL…

what a weekend
So it was a weird weekend. I didn’t get much done, costume-wise. I had Friday off. Luna was SHOCKED when I walked out of the bedroom at 9AM. Like, “Wtf are you doing here?!” “Seriously go away you are ruining my groove.” Friday I went swimming and finally got to break in my new WW swimsuit. The top could use…

a dye test
Last night I re-did Mon Mothma’s sleeves because I realized I’d done them a little wrong – thankfully nothing difficult to fix. I don’t feel like figuring out the necklace thingie D: I am lazy. I don’t want to do any crafting. I just want to sew. NO CRAFT ONLY SEW So since I didn’t feel like messing with that…

Happy Monday!
Hey I have apparently never called a post “Happy Monday” before, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Started off the weekend with a bang when I broke a crown eating lunch on friday. I’ve already had so much dental work this year and so much more to come that it’s just like, piling on. At least…

Have my swatches arrived? Maybe one day I’ll get to do this costume….

Dragoncon Thoughts
So yes, I’m doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat’s room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I’m thinking of taking: Bespin Leia…

happy friday
1. Got my car fixed. I won’t go into the whole story but it’s been having this “burping” problem since right before Celebration. We drove to Orlando and back with the “burping” – realized we did need to get it looked at but put it off until it died on me in traffic last week. Took it in Tuesday. $345…

some stuff
They can’t all be good titles ok? I drew Diana. just a time waster. I ended up liking just the lineart better than the finished thing so I’m glad I took a screencap of it. I did a little more than that but didn’t like it so I’m leaving it like that one. In other news a couple of weeks…

Yeah, go to Jackson, go comb your hair
Spent the weekend in Jackson! Had a great time. Friday night we just picked up dinner and ate at my grandparent’s which worked out great because I was able to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race (I thought I’d have to wait til I got home Sunday). Played some battlefront with Chase, he hated it. But at least he played. Saturday we…

new buns hun
I mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but that post was so long I didn’t want to jam this in there too… besides I wanted to get some pics of them on to add to it, also. So, timeline – From 2004-2015 I used the same brunette extensions that matched my 2004 but hasn’t matched since 2011 when I went lighter…

Long weekend was long
But not long enough… back at work today and it’s rough 🙁 So what all did I get up to this weekend… well starting with Thursday night, Chase and I went to the High School Musical Theater Awards. It was supposed to have been me and mom going, because one of the schools we did costumes for was nominated for…

hulk smash
I am getting SO frustrated with USPS. The last two small things I’ve ordered — my tablet glove back in March, and now my fabric swatches — have both gone missing. The tablet glove made it to Memphis and then just disappeared. After 3 weeks Amazon refunded it (not like it was expensive to start with)… and then it finally…

meanwhile back
Hi! I actually did costume stuff this weekend! I am here to tell you about it! But first let’s start with Friday. Both Chase and I worked a half day Friday – why? Because Chase’s documentary Finding Tobey had its first screening that night!! He has been working on this for FOUR YEARS, and it’s finally done. We decided to…

OMG
Ok so here is a super random-a-little-bit-of-everything post since I have various updates and news and a few little things that don’t deserve their own post so I’ll stick them here. First and FOREMOST…. So yesterday I’m just working away at my desk and I get a fb notification on my phone. So I look at it and… I WON…

Photoshoot Stuff!! Part two
I got the rest of my photoshoot stuff uploaded over the weekend! First up is Bespin Leia. Some thoughts. I took the length up of the tunic a bit for the photoshoot but it created too much fabric at the waist/belt-line and looked sloppy 🙁 I think I just need to take the whole thing apart and go back to…

Queen Amidala’s Parade Dress Hair Tutorial Part 2 – The Hairpiece!
So a couple of years ago I did a tutorial on how I did my hair for my Amidala Parade costume. I used my own hair, just put into little buns, teased, and pinned in a certain way. It wasn’t perfect but it worked OK. I have been playing around with the idea of making a hairpiece for AGES. I…

John Williams Tribute!
This weekend we got to do a really fun event – the Memphis Symphony Orchestra was doing a John Williams tribute and invited us out for it. Friday night we went up to the rehearsal to get an idea of what they wanted us to do. For each Star wars song they wanted a related character or characters onstage. For…
