Christmas 2011 Tree!
Made the decision to go ahead and decorate on Thursday: We haven’t finished painting the living room or finished the new mantle – but I couldn’t wait; if I’d waited on all that to be done we’d probably wouldn’t have put the tree up til February. Ha. So excuse the unfinished mantle, but it’s nice to have the tree next…

House Work: Bedroom finished!
and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

House Work: Painting the Bedroom
Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

Cleaning my Sewing Room, etc
Still working on getting my sewing room straightened up and organized. Chase put my new shelves up last night, so I put my bead jars on them – this was the plan from the start, but it took me 2 years to finally get around to getting the shelves. I think I might get one more small one, because I…

Belle painting
Chase is putting my Belle painting up tonight!!! He got this for me like 2 years ago, I”m so excited to finally be putting it up. Also, how I’m spending my Christmas:

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…

my workspaces over the years
I was cutting fabric on the floor of my office last night, and it got me thinking of my old workspace at my parent’s house (where I had a table to cut fabric). I thought I’d post them all. From 2001-2008 I worked out of the dining room at my parent’s house. I took it over! (sorry mom) I don’t…

Sewing Room updates
I worked on my office last night, mostly organizing my patterns. I had too many that were in large ziplock baggies so I spent the evening squishing pattern pieces into my usual smaller baggies. Then I put them all away in my new bench! They didn’t all fit, though 🙁 But I got the majority of them in there. They…

Decorating & Christmas shopping
Friday night Chase and I decorated the house. Chase put up the tree while I put out everything else, we had Elf on the TV and I baked some cookies. It was fun 🙂 Here’s a few crappy cell phone pics. Not a lot new on the tree this year. Nothing geeky (didn’t see any we had to have from…

pattern frustration
First step to cleaning up my office is getting control of my massive pattern collection. I just don’t have room to keep them in the plastic bins they’re in, it’s taking up too much room – I need to find a more space-saving option. I could possibly fit a small file cabinet or similar under one of my desks –…

i hate tile
This is going to sound weird but I really hate tile. I mean like tile on the floor, like kitchen or bathroom floors. It just grosses me out for some reason. It goes back to when I was little, and I would stay with my grandparents every day while my parents were at work, and my grandma’s kitchen was this…

Sewing Room Sketch
So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things – I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff…

The Costume Closet is Finished
I know folks are probably tired of hearing about my stupid closet, but it’s finally finished! So I’m going to go over it once more 🙂 So a question I get asked a lot is “Where do you keep all of your costumes?” When I lived with my parents, the question was pretty easy to answer – we had converted…

365 Project – Padme Funeral Gown + Closet progress
Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can’t find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I’m back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do – haven’t seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and…

moo cards!
My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons – not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out – but hopefully I’ll remember them at dcon this year. I put…

More Closet work, and Boushh art
So yesterday when I got home I cleared out the closet in the prop room and started moving my boxes in. Right now I’ve just got index cards taped to the outside until I get the rest of my moo cards in (hopefully they’ll be here tomorrow.) I need to unpack about 2 more big bins, and everything is pretty…

Organizing my Costume Closet
first, today’s princess, Padme again 🙂 Last night I really dug in and got all of the costumes I have here right now into boxes. It’s a mess! But it’s mostly done. I need to go get a few more bins of stuff from my parent’s house tomorrow, I reckon I’ve got about 20 costumes not currently in a new…

Tackling the Costume Closet
So I’ve finally dug in and really started my costume re-organization project. To recap – When I lived at my parents house, we converted a half bath into a walk-in closet once they outgrew my room. (And, I swear I used to have a picture of it where it didn’t look like crap. Like one of what it looked like…

House updates, Anaheim Comic Con pics!
I forgot to post pics of our (almost) finished kitchen! The cabinets are done and they’re up! I’ll get a better pic with a real camera soon. I’m really happy with it. Now to hang stuff on the other end of the kitchen and our curtains and it’s done. Also, I cleaned up the prop room… Still a little messy…

More Jane progress, kitchen updates
I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane’s top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I’ve got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the…
