Starting working on stuff for March – Enchantress for Emerald City Comic Con, and a surprise for MidSouthCon. The surprise is actually going to end up being pretty easy on my sewing side. Enchantress is going to be fairly easy as well – I got my fabric samples for her yesterday and I’m excited 🙂 Here’s what I have going…

2010 wrap up…. 2011 plans
(I realize I have this post on my blog basically twice – but one version was imported over from livejournal and I wanted to preserve it and its comments. This version is the livejournal post.) I can’t believe 2010 is already over. Seems like just a few weeks ago I posted my 2010 plans. I didn’t do very well in…

Sewing room + hogwarts robe
my office is back to being clean after finishing Kevin’s christmas present (outside of attaching the patch.) It went so quick! I’m really pleased with it. And then Chase hung a few things up in my office – the 2 Adam Hughes prints he got me for my birthday a few years ago, and my Mike Mayhew Ms Marvel sketch…

First up, Kevin’s Julia Child costume. Wig is his Napoleon…

end of an era
So, last night, I used up the last of my aisle runner. This thing: Super cheap shiny fraying white satin. I don’t even remember how many yards I ended up with. It was a LOT. I never expected to get it back, for some reason I never thought of that – but when we got home from the honeymoon, there…

I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…
