it’s the 2025 costume wrap-up post
At long last! I’m posting this way later than I normally do! But I was waiting on the last of my white backdrop pics of stuff from this year. Ok, so let’s start off with reviewing what I said I was going to make in 2025 in December 2024: 1. MoM Scarlet Witch – YES! Finally buckled down and used…

im freeeeee
For 2 weeks at least. For 2 weeks I don’t have to worry about work. I stabbed myself on the side of my thumb like right next to the nail with a pin saturday and it’s making it really hard to type on a normal keyboard, but I will persevere. Ok first up, more white backdrop pics! Here’s a couple…

drag path
My pictures for today’s post are taking forever to upload. So I’ll start with the things I already have uploaded – more new photoshoot pics! MoM Scarlet Witch: Queen Amidala Disneybound: I took pics with the ears and without the ears so you could see the little “fan” of hair I did at the top to kinda replicate the hairstyle…

terminal enchantment
Hey I actually have costume content to post today!! Finished my new MoM Wanda skirt: Version 1 spoonflower fabric to the left, version 2 knitorious fabric version to the right. Not super happy with my gradient dyeing here but oh well, it is what it is. After seeing it on I think I need to bring the gradient at the…

goodness knows
Well I would say last Monday my anxiety over the job thing was at a 5/10. On Thursday it shot up to a 10/10 and on Friday I had to ask Chase for one of his anxiety med pills. Which then made me feel hungover all day Saturday. I also had a migraine all weekend, probably from the stress –…

what a glorious morning
Well, what a crap start to the day. My company is axing our division. Winding down ops in February. Only good news is that the company does want to keep me and move me to another division, so I’m still employed, but sick to my stomach anyway rn. Also I have no pics of interest to post this week, it’s…

look at all those chickens
Hey guess what! Last week I said I’d love to have the skirt motifs done by the time I’m writing this week’s blog post. I ALMOST MADE IT!! I’m on the last one and I’ll have it finished today! YAY! Then I have to do the thing I’m dreading the remove the shoulder wrap from the top and do the…

anything can happen on halloween
Another Halloween in the books. Wednesday I picked up Kevin after work – his mom (and my parents!) was on vacation so it worked out for him to come stay with us a few days. Thursday as soon as I was off work started getting him and myself ready for Spooky Science. He wore ceremonial Luke and I wore ceremonial…

It’s the rare midweek post! I have important stuff to share! First, my Scarlet Witch pics from Sunday! This was me on the sidewalk just waiting on Chase to get the camera out and ready and he said “hold that” LOL A crop of this is my new pfp pretty much everywhere. What’s funny is that this spot is 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…

Mid-week update! Wanda: -Rig up the Scarlet Witch pieces I’ve gotten all of the fabric attachments made and most of them are glued on. Still have to heatform the front panel which I’m nervous about. Going to do that tonight and then hopefully tomorrow I can start sewing everything in place. Belle: -find shoes (just wearing my old ones) I…

im starting with the man in the mirror
Well hi, sorry I didn’t update last week. I was in the TRENCHES friends. Still am, but I’m stopping to post today, otherwise I won’t remember everything I need to cover. It’s already going to be dice-y here. First and foremost – my site is breaking again, this time it’s my blog headers. I have a separate plug-in I use…

its clobberin time
Saw Fantastic Four this weekend. Really loved it. I wanna live in that world. First up let’s go back to my Padme Lover bodysuit project. I got the new outer layer/lining layers cut, assembled and dyed. Got them sewn together and sewn onto the interior bodice. Got the zipper in, hand-tacked down, got the outer layer sewn in place along…

im only doing this for debbie
Well. That weekend was a disaster. Let’s start with fun stuff first though – I ordered my ribbons for Dragoncon! So last week I said I wanted to be done with costume #5’s base so I could start rhinestoning by the end of the week. I was only a couple of days behind. I did drop the idea of having…

i’m a punkrocker
Well, not a great weekend for getting stuff done unfortunately. I did finish getting the chiffon swags all sewn together, hemmed, basted onto the skirt, and my zipper basted in. And I got my bodice finished. Things I clocked during the try-on: 1. The point of the bodice kept trying to flip up. I skipped putting boning in the center…

emile thanks you
Well here we are after the 3 day weekend. I had big plans to have Belle totally done minus the wig, lower embroidered swags and shoulder drape. I didn’t even get CLOSE. But I did post up my “secret” costume on instagram so I can now post about it openly here – more below. Let’s go through the state of…

what the hellyonce
For as much work as I’ve done on stuff for the last week it feels criminal that I have so few photos to show for it. I got the swatches for my last bit of fabric I need for Belle. I got 10 swatches to look at and the other 8 were too brown, but these 2 were closest to…
