Well it’s been 2 weeks since Dragon Con and I still don’t have all of the photos up.. BUT I do have the costume construction pages up for everything new: Padme Picnic Gown, Morticia, Space Mutiny, and Rogue. Here’s a few more pics I’ve uploaded since last week: Glad I just had Chase take this picture in this photo-op instead…

songs from the wood
Guess who is done with the chain stitching on the skirt??? ME! I started on 5/22 I think? So six weeks to do the skirt. Don’t look at the hem, it’s stressing me out LMAO I’m letting it hang for a few days before I steam it and stretch some of those shrunken areas back out. Releveling this hem is…

boy oh boy
Do I have a lot to post about today! Well back over the summer I decided I did not want to be home for Thanksgiving. I looked around for cities that we could road trip to that we hadn’t done before, and decided Asheville NC fit the ticket. My parents decided to come with us too! So we booked an…

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…

hoa hoa hoa
I’m sorry yall, I still have nothing to post about this week LOL. But I am trying to get back into the habit of my Monday morning postings. A few costume-y notes – got another set of swatches for Troi. One I like ok, I think it looks fairly close to how the dress looks on screen, but it doesn’t…

The BigAss Christmas Post
OMG it took me forever to upload all the pics I needed to since the last post. Let me just go through everything from the beginning. We have not been able to keep Santa upright this year. Too much rain I guess, his stakes won’t stay in the ground and he falls over. Poor guy. I forgot to put this…

wild & free teen angst morning
That’s my spotify daylist playlist this morning LOL “You listened to pop and delicate in the morning. Here’s some teen angst, teen rock, brat autumn, wild & free, do it for the plot, and teen pop.” I had some weird dreams last night. I dreamt I was at the Hyatt at Dragoncon (only dragoncon in my head though, it didn’t…

let’s have a covid christmas
As I mentioned in last week’s posts, I had a stomach bug or something last week after getting back from NYC. Even after getting past the pukey-ness and stomach cramps, I still was exhausted and had no appetite. Saturday we had to run a few errands and that was the end of that day for me. We were supposed to…

The not NY Post
So like I said, I didn’t post last week, just didn’t have much to say and we were busy getting ready for the trip. Not a lot happened out side of trip preparation, so I’ll just touch the few highlights. First off I got sick as soon as we got home from NY Tuesday night. I was up all night…

dont lose your head
Well. What a week. Last Monday was HVAC install day. Our front yard with all the old stuff was a disaster area. They were here for nearly 12 hours that day. The new ductwork takes up SO MUCH more attic space 🙁 I could just barely fit everything back in. I had just cleaned this space and our closet spaces…

let’s circle back after the holidays
Halloween now feels like a month ago. But it was just a week ago! Since it was cold out I wore Leia so I could layer under it, and it’s comfortable to sit in while waiting on trick or treaters. I ended up being home alone most of the night. Chase had to go over and help my aunt and…

what a weird week
No, i don’t have the christmas trees out yet – I probably mentioned it in the last post, but we got a new hot water heater last monday! YAY! Our old one hadn’t gone out yet, but it had gotten very inconsistent, like one time the water would be piping hot and then the next 5 days lukewarm. It’s nice…

spooky scary skeletons
It’s finally FALL YALL I finished getting the inside mostly decorated. I still have a few more lights to put up and I plan to put one of my dressforms in the front window in a spooky costume again. Thinking about using my Edith costume with my Donna Noble runaway bride veil for a spooky bride look? Gonna wrap the…

could it be those irrepressible thoughts of death?
It’s not just any monday it’s the monday before my ~~**BIRTHDAY**~~ I kinda forgot about it honestly because it’s just not been on my brain. I’ve been kinda stressed out. Sewing room clean up continues. Finished putting the closet back together. Got a new bin to fit the homeless costumes in and reorganized everything that was hanging up. Now we’re…

a whole lotta nothing
I don’t have much of anything to post this week. Spent most of the last week trying to get the HTV for the Seven yoke to work. Basically everytime we’d do a test it’d come out backwards. Chase was definitely sending it mirrored – backwards. Then not mirrored – backwards. We’d finally get a test square that was right, go…

the final frontier
So I know it probably doesn’t look like I got a ton done this past week based on how few pics I have to post this week… but I did! It just wasn’t on the exact things I wanted to work on LOL I ended up getting stuck on the Breha vinyl pretty much the whole week. Didn’t start legitimately…

superb owl
oh hi there Leia is pretty much done. I sewed down the support ribbon in the center back, finished sewing on the swirls on the lower sleeves, and i finALLY tried it all on to mark off where I need to cut and attach the ribbon belt. I haven’t done the belt attachments yet – that will be tonight. But…

no resolutions
I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…
