GMX 2012 Recap
GMX was a lot of fun this year! We took Kevin, who wore his Harry Potter and Doctor Who costumes, and I took Wasp, Ms Marvel, Donna Noble, Marie Antoinette, and Anne Boleyn. We mostly hung out, shopped, Kevin played video games and Chase took photos. It was a nice lowkey weekend 🙂 Here’s some of my fav pics. Kevin’s…

Halloween 2012
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near…

So.. selling some stuff
Really not a lot to talk about lately. We painted our front door and rearranged the living room. My mom got me new, cute owl pillows. Got our Dragoncon room today. So that stress is over with for a bit. Still got a few costumes for sale, and few things to still list. I’m really happy to be making some…

What should I take to GMX?
I really have no idea what to take with me to GMX. I’m definitely taking Wasp, because I’m finishing the wings, and Marie Antoinette TARDIS to go with my cousin’s 11th Doctor costume. Thinking about taking Anne Boleyn too. Otherwise, I’m thinking about: Time Lord Donna Noble Batgirl Emma Frost Jane (Tarzan) beyond that nothing is really saying “WEAR ME!”…

New Photos, New Costume!
I’ve posted new photos of several costumes! One of them is not really a “new” costume – but it’s one I never wore and never had photos of until now! And as a bonus, here’s a behind-the-scenes video of how we do a white backdrop photoshoot!

Hocus Pocus Costumes In-Depth
I thought I’d go a little more in-depth on our Hocus Pocus costumes than I did on my construction page. I had a lot of fun making them and didn’t get to share it here on my blog as much as I would have liked, since they were supposed to be a surprise! Firstly I started out by digging up…

Birthday Stuff and Dcon 2012 Pics
I had a really great birthday! 🙂 Chase got me this amazing Haunted Mansion sign: I’ve already put it up in the hallway and am now planning to turn the whole hallway into a Disney hallway LOL Speaking of which, Chase and I booked out Disneyworld anniversary trip last week. We won’t be able to go on our actual anniversary,…

Hocus Pocus thoughts
I wanted to write a little more about our Hocus Pocus costumes, because I was thinking in the car just how much of those costumes I dyed LOL Really it’s easier to list what I did NOT dye, than to list what I dyed. I did NOT dye: Mary’s skirt Mary’s bodice lining Winnie’s darker purple skirt Winnie’s sleeves Winnie’s…

Upcoming Costume stuff
Hoping to do a photoshoot this weekend (if not this weekend then soon). Thinking of shooting pink Rogue, DCNU Wonder Woman, and Alyss. Also thinking about what to take to GMX. Definitely taking Belle (hopefully with updated wig), Wasp (hopefully with wings), maybe Batgirl (depends on the gauntlet situation), maybe Marie Antoinette TARDIS (I want to wear it again)… I…

Belle: Then and Now
Sorry I haven’t posted about Dragoncon yet! I’ll have a big post ready to go this weekend. In the meantime – As close as we could get to recreating my 2005 Belle pic — they’ve remodeled the stairs and the angle isn’t quite right, but I still like seeing the two together 🙂

Here’s a shot from last night. And here’s my Batgirl belt “buckle.” Along with a bracelet my husband made for me out of one that didn’t…

We leave in one week. Things are in pretty good order. Still got a lot to do but it feels manageable now. I made the last swags for Belle’s dress last night. Needs some tweaking but I can finish them tonight and get them sewn on, then I can finish off the skirt and all that’s left is beading and…
