Glinda, and Frozen
Part One: Glinda I finished up the Glinda bodice Saturday! Friday night I had a near panic attack over the ribbons, because as I got to the end I realized I was running shorter than I expected. As I got to the last segment I was two strips short. But, I had 6 stripes on the left side of the…

Glinda!
So mom and I have been working on a simplified version of Glinda’s “Popular” dress from Wicked. I keep saying it’s a theater project, but it’s not really for a play – but it’s for a theater related project. Anyway, we went a few weeks ago and picked out fabric, and mom has been working on the skirt. I’m in…

MCFC Photos
Better late than never! Disney trip got me behind, just got these from Chase last night and uploaded. There’s not a ton. MCFC 2016 Gallery Mostly Donna photos. The last known photo of my phone *cries* It still hasn’t turned up — hasn’t been turned on or anything, which further reinforces my suspicion that it got kicked somewhere and is…

A weird weekend
This weekend did not go as planned. Friday we were going to go see Fantastic Beasts… but I was still feeling a little under the weather and wanted to save my energy for the con Saturday, so we stayed home. That night, I did finish the Phis and Gracyn that matches the other SunDowner character refs I did a few…

More Disney photos, and Edith sleeves
First up, Chase gave me the photos he took of my Tightrope Walker last weekend! Had to go get pics with my alligator buddies before we left the hotel for the party. I love these guys. And then over at Magic Kingdom… I also got these added to my Tightrope Walker portfolio page along with parasol construction info. Speaking of…

Photopass Photos, plus some website thoughts
Uploaded my photo pass photos last night! Meeting Jack and Sally: Kevin’s face!! LOL Rose made this which Kevin was in stitches over: Kevin and I in front of Pirates, being Captain Hook Me in front of Haunted Mansion, with a ghost friend! End of the night… Kevin and I about to ride our fav! Chase won’t ride it with…

A whole lot of stuff
So I was planning on getting all this stuff done this weekend – clean up the house, repack for Disney, do a bunch of laundry… did I get any of it done? No, not a bit. Instead, I watched way too much “Say Yes to the Dress,” went a con, did a photoshoot, went to the Elmwood Twilight Tour, and…

3 Half-Assed Galadriels
So to pick up where I left off last week — I obviously ended up being SO GLAD we rescheduled our trip since our party canceled and the parks shut down on Friday! We’d have only had 1 park day and 1.5 days of stuck at Pop Century!! It still sucks missing my cousins but it looks like they still…

down the rabbit hole
So anyway, to continue where I left off the previous post… The rabbit hole is never ending. I went BACK through all my old backup files last night, looking for more old stuff. I managed to scrape up the majority of my old pre-blogger “Free talks” from 1998, though I can’t find much from 1999 — there’s a big chunk…

Link and a parasol
So to finish from my earlier post, Sunday we ran errands, and packed. And I ran over to Kevin’s house and picked him up so we could go over his Link costume stuff. He hasn’t worn it since 2013, so we needed to make sure everything still fit and worked ok. He’s wearing it to Mickey’s Not So Scary thursday…

Dragoncon Pics Part 2, Tightrope Walker Updates
Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con – not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I’m not so sure I like this photo yet I…

Dragon Con Photos Round One
We’re back!!! Ok so I don’t have much to share in the first post. But it’s enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right…

Argh
When I’m stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I’ve been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out… I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it’s today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked…

The Disney and the DragonCon
I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

Just another picture of my 7 Dwarfs skirt
Ignore the packing going on behind me. I got the hook and eye attached and the sweater I’d been wanting from modcloth came, so I put it all on together. I do wish I had some yellow flats I could add red bows to to wear with it 🙂 Last night I packed all my clothes for the trip which…

Hooks and eyes oh my
I took these pics for a facebook last night so I thought I’d share them here, too, and expound on my post. Several years ago I was obsessed with the different variations of Disney Princess costumes at the parks. I collected photos from all the parks, the parades/stage show/meet-and-greet variations… I had a huge collection saved on my computer. Somewhere…

Ren Faire, boredom, and packing
I’ve never had free time in August. It’s so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better…

Bricks and Minifigs Event
Got Chase’s pics from Saturday uploaded! Sometimes when I know I’m in the background of a photo Chase is taking I just stare at him. Trying to convince a little boy which Star Wars Lego he should get… I was pushing for Leia… the stormtroopers were pushing for more stormtroopers.

Dragon Con 2002 Look Back
I know I’ve done similar before… and this won’t be just a rehashing of my original “con report.” A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, “oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a…

Monday again
Happy Monday 😛 It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I’ve been planning to make for our next Disney trip – just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a…
