Wasp Progress
So it took me a week longer to finish my embroidery project than I expected, on top of going to Minnesota for a weekend trip to see my in-laws last weekend. So I was feeling a little stressed the other day, and really buckled down and tried to finish some stuff last night. And I did! I finished the embroidery,…

A FAQ: How do you wear so many costumes?
Almost every year, when I post my Dragoncon planned costumes, I always get a few comments or questions regarding how I manage to wear so many costumes. Well I’m going to tell you my secret… at conventions, I really don’t do much of anything else but wear costumes. This right here is what we do most of the time at…

Attn my velvety friends
I have finally finished the sleeves, and started attaching them. I decided to re-do mine, again, since I am a masochist, apparently. But, here’s a photo of the robes this past weekend when I put a hoop in the bottom to see how it looked. We still need to buy cotton for the underrobes, the velvet for the upper cape/collar…

I am ensconced in velvet
I have been lost in a haze of velvet and iron-on stabilizer the past two weeks, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I’m going to be taking some pics and posting them this weekend, both here and facebook, I promise! In other news, I nabbed some taffeta at Joann’s for super cheap. Was going to use a 50%…

The Time Lord & Witch sweatshop
Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek’s needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase’s has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on.

Cleaning my office
Chase helped me tackle the closet in my office yesterday. While I’ve cleaned and reorganized my office in the past few months, the closet I haven’t messed with since before dragoncon last year. I have 11 bins shoved in there, and 5 of them just had various scraps of random stuff in them. Chase helped me pull all the bins…

Romana & Belle Progress
This post is useless without pictures, but ah well. I finished Belle, finally, with the exception of the hairbow. I bought some ribbon that’s fairly close and I’m hoping to just make a bow and glue it to a barrette, instead of having to tie it on everytime like I’ve done in the past. Romana is almost done, too. I’ve…
