a very moving weekend
Guess what! Chase and I are homeless. We closed on our house Friday. All done. The new owner takes possession a week from today, so we have until then to move out. It’s so strange feeling. Like I said, I’m a little sad. It’s been a great home. But before I get too far into all that, let’s go back…

Finally some Amidala Progress
I don’t have a ton to post about today!! Mostly since I did a second post last week. We’ve had Kevin with us since Tuesday last week, so that’s been fun. I don’t know what this snapchat filter was supposed to be but it look like the Lunchlady’s yearbook picture. Friday Chase got off work early so as soon as…

Anime Blues Con, Part 2
(I know my header is super similar to the last post’s header but I don’t care I like both pics and it’s what I want to use!) First up — art update because I forgot it last time and I’m trying to get the art page updated… “Rise of Clovis” dress: And the Hazmat suit I said I wasn’t going…

ANNOYING
OMG since Wednesday our AC at work has been making this AWFUL noise. It hasn’t gone out (thank goodness, still nice and cool in here), but it is making this grinding, shuddering noise interspersed with LOUD BUZZING! And of course the unit on the roof is DIRECTLY above my office so all day long I get the brunt of it.…

YAY it’s done!
Despite that title, I’m starting with art today just because I have a bunch to untangle from last week. Including a HOUSE INTRUDER, a LOT OF SEWING, some MOVIES, and DOG-SITTING! Since last post I’ve only focused on knocking out Clone Wars stuff. Here’s what I kept calling “Loyalist Committee Lite” I totally just used the skirt embellishment from my…

well so much for that!
After my excitement about maybe going to Star Wars Celebration next year in my last post, today I have to let all of the air out of the room. Since then all the 5 day passes have sold out, as well as Saturday only. We were going to have to wait on tickets til we got Chase’s bonus at the…

Brothers from another mother A far and distant Leia Everything else is HERE! And real quick one new Clone Wars Padme I finished since last post: Pretty pleased with this one. So Chase and I…

yard sale weekend
This weekend was busy. Friday night was more work on the house, I got a little sewing in, but mostly it was getting ready for Saturday morning’s yard sale. Saturday we were up at 6AM. Chase ran and put the signs out and got breakfast. We’d put on the ad that we were open at 7 but of course people…

Solo
Hooray for 3 day weekends! Not so hooray for spending pretty much all 3 days packing and moving stuff D: Yeah I don’t have a ton to talk about today because this weekend was like 85% packing, cleaning, and moving stuff to the storage unit. We really focused on the garage and got a lot of it cleaned up and…

uuuuuuuugh
Soooooooo I know I’m late posting this week. I decided to wait til I had some updates on my Crait Leia. And they are not great updates unfortunately. I’m going to carve this post into sections, since I have multiple things to talk about. CRAIT LEIA Ok I’ll start with Leia since I’ve already said something about it. I had…

FIRST AND FOREMOST…… Chase and I took the last big load of my costume stuff out to my parents last Monday night. And… I GOT IT ALL IN THE CLOSET Guysssss… that is like 80% of my costumes all shoved into one closet. I mean I can’t GET to anything, but i can’t believe I got it all in there.…

10 years
Thursday last week was our 10th wedding anniversary!! It’s crazy to think it’s been 10 years! On Thursday I posted all my fav wedding pics to my instagram story…. I’ve had a few friends get married recently and seeing their day on social media made me sad I didn’t get to do that (since instagram didn’t exist when we got…

Some Tinkerbell, some art
I put off posting yesterday hoping I’d have all my Tinkerbell photos ready to go, but I’ve only got about half so far… but I’m gonna go ahead and post today anyway. I’ve still gotten no sewing done at all. Haven’t stepped foot into my sewing room except to move stuff out of it. Kevin helped me last week move…

i dont know what we’re yelling about
First off, a couple of new art things. Padme’s pilot disguise from 2010: New: Dressing robe from 2010: New: This stupid one I did the painting on TWICE. I got the linework and flat colour done and backed up. Then did everything else Wednesday night, got it about 95% done. Tried to open it up last night to put the…

packing, moving, stress
Sooo start off with… I TRIED to sew this weekend and my brain was just so full of everything we need to do that I just couldn’t focus. I did kinda start playing with a mockup for Crait Leia. Didn’t get very far. Went to the fabric store Friday night and got some heavy weight fabric to use as maybe…

a very hairy easter
I have absolutely no costume stuff to talk about today. Chase was going to Nashville this weekend, and originally I was going to stay home and get started on Amidala and Crait Leia. But at the last minute I decided to go to my grandparents for the weekend instead. It worked out nicely; Chase was able to take my car…

I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted this week…
I usually post Monday and apparently I didn’t since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I’m going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about… yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter…

An update & an art dump
First up I FINALLY got the Tinkerbell portfolio page put up — it’s here! Only took me all week! Beyond that I have nothing to talk about in terms of costumes. I got my sewing room cleaned up. Packed up some stuff in there that wasn’t necessary – IE, in my cabinet I have all my music CDS on the…

I have a bunch of stuff to post. Buckle in! First loooook what came in the mail last week! I’m finally gonna retire my old Hermione. Been wanting to for a few years now! I bought Luna’s wand back in 2015 intending to start on a Luna costume and just never have… but now I have a sweater and a…
