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…

islands in the stream
Busy weekend! Lots to talk about. Let’s do the weekend events first! Saturday we met Ash and Gabe for Midtowncon and lunch. I had been planning to wear my TOS uniform all week, I even decided on a new hairstyle (one of my fav things about that costume is the fun of getting to play with different hairstyles), made a…

may the 1st
It’s dad’s bday today! We went out for dinner Saturday night to a new korean bbq place. It was ok. Not like the one we had in NYC. I don’t have a lot of costume progress to show this week. I’ll chat about it at the end. New pin for the collection! A friend gave us some irises back in…

its a bittersweet symphony
I don’t have a ton to post about this week! Didn’t do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here’s the outer grey piece and…

Sci-Fi Night, Leia progress, etc
It’s the usual post-weekend Monday update. First up! Saturday night we went to Sci-Fi night with the Riverkings. When they say “take a silly picture” I never know what to do LOL It was fun, Chase wants to go to another game just to sit and watch. Which brings me to Leia updates…. This was probably the second-to-last troop for…

Happy Monday!
Hey I have apparently never called a post “Happy Monday” before, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Started off the weekend with a bang when I broke a crown eating lunch on friday. I’ve already had so much dental work this year and so much more to come that it’s just like, piling on. At least…

Yeah, go to Jackson, go comb your hair
Spent the weekend in Jackson! Had a great time. Friday night we just picked up dinner and ate at my grandparent’s which worked out great because I was able to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race (I thought I’d have to wait til I got home Sunday). Played some battlefront with Chase, he hated it. But at least he played. Saturday we…

Pink Palace event
Yesterday we did a little event at the Pink Palace! One of my fav places in the world. Since it was earlier in the day, Chase couldn’t get off in time for it so mom drove us over. (After New Year’s Eve I refuse to drive in costume unless I absolutely have to LOL) Since it was a Deep Space…

Happy New Year!
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017… UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence… sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn’t wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more…

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…

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.

Memphis Redbirds Star Wars Night!
I haven’t gotten to troop this event since 2010, because they usually hold it right before Dragon Con when I’m sequestered to my sewing room. This year it was in May so I finally got to participate again! Leia problems: I can’t get my sunglasses all the way on with the buns. They usually get stuck at some point so…

Battlefront 3 Midnight Release
So last night we trooped the midnight release of Battlefront 3 at Best Buy! Chase had play practice so I thought I was on my own… until Kevin ended up staying with us last night. Yay! I was going to put him in Luke, but he arrived at my house with a big fuzzy beard. So I pulled the jedi…

FCBD and May the Fourth
This past weekend we went up to Jackson for two events! Free Comic Book Day at Books-a-Million, and Star Wars Night with the Jackson Generals. We stayed friday through sunday with my grandparents, which is always fun. I was hoping they’d get to come out and see us at the baseball game but unfortunately the rain kept them home! Anyway,…
