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…

Prop/Guest Room updates
So here’s some pics of what we did yesterday! I finished painting it last weekend, as you may have read… yesterday we put up most of the shelves and unpacked what we could, and put the new futon together. You can see the edge of the main shelves there on the right. And the other side… with a creeper hanging…

More House updates
Since we got the wallpaper down last weekend, that meant it was finally time to paint. We finished yesterday. I don’t really have a before of either room – the garage door entrance is where the bug wallpaper used to be. The main entryway was the off-white/gold stripe that I never took a picture of (we got that removed the…

Finished the Bathroom!
OMG YAY! I’m really pleased with the colour, I was a little nervous about it. Especially since we picked it out and bought it back in September, I’d kinda forgotten what it looked like! And today’s Princess is Iridessa.

No more wallpaper
The handyman came today and got all of our wallpaper down. Seriously, we scrapped at that bug wallpaper in the entryway for 3 months… it took him 2 hours to get the entry way paper AND all of the master bath paper down. I’m so excited! He comes tomorrow to paint the bathroom for us. Here’s a before and after,…
