Harry Potter Midnight Show
It was so good! I didn’t cry, thought I would. Like so many people I’ve spent so many years with Harry, it’s been such a part of my life – so I’m sad it’s over. I was the only person dressed up when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone opened here 10 years ago (in my robe with my homemade…

A Crazy Day
Today was crazy. Mel was in town with the baby (who is adorable) so we met her for breakfast. Waited nearly an hour and a half for a table, after being told 30min wait. Would’ve left if we realised it would be so long, but the manager comped our meals over it which was super nice. After we ate, walked…

FOOT!
Last night started making the blue trim for the dress. I like how it’s coming along. Today I had the doctor’s appointment. I hated to go but this was one instance where I wanted to be there and get this taken care of. It was really hurting this morning, to the point after I made it to the bathroom to…

Beauty and the Beast Broadway!
Yesterday we had our tickets to Beauty and the Beast! I was super excited since I’ve never seen the broadway version. We had some of my fav seats in the whole theater, I got dressed up and took my opera glasses… it was fun LoL I really liked it. Unfortunately something went wrong with the Beast’s transformation at the end…

the pauper of the surf, the jester of Tortuga
Went to see Pirates last night – I liked it much more than the last two. The cool thing was almost everyone from work ended up there and in the same theater LOL Not a lot on the schedule for this weekend. I’m going to keep working on Marie, maybe scan some stuff.

post weekend
I got started on Marie Antoinette. Got my corset started, and my panniers cut out. A long way to go but it’s a start. Otherwise didn’t do a lot this weekend. Helped my mum move stuff out of her classroom, watched Doctor Who, did yardwork, and Ash came over today and made a sockmonkey. Basketball season is over, which I’m…

All Clear
I finished reading Connie Willis’ “All Clear” last night. It was SO GOOD. Seriously I know people who have read the first book, Blackout, but nobody else has read All Clear yet so I have no one to talk about it with!! I wanted to send the author a message saying how much I enjoyed it but she doesn’t appear…

weird day

After lunch we headed back to their house for dessert where we got stuck by strong thunderstorms. Didn’t get home til around six. And now Chase is already in bed! He has a photoshoot at 3AM! Some party.…

our anniversary… zoo trip!
Yesterday was a lot of fun. We went to the zoo in the morning. Luckily the weather was nice in the morning and we had a good time. The bears were playing in the water right by the windows, we saw the sealion show and the zebras were actually running around. Chase got me a couple of penguins in the…

puzzle puzzle + Donna updates
Have I ever mentioned how much I love uploading puzzle photos to flickr? I know probably about 70% of the people who follow me on flickr are creepers only following me for pics of girls in costume, so I love to be like, “HERE LOOK AT MY PUZZLES” I finally got some puzzle glue to glue Ophelia together – they…

Hippolyta Progress
I got the upper part of my bodice cut out of my leather and put together, and started doing sketches on it. I’m going to finalize the sketches today and draw them on tonight. I just barely had enough leather. Chase tried to tickle me while I was walking away from him in the kitchen last night. I jerked away…

3 random thoughts
1. there was a guy on a our plane to Seattle. He was wearing old jeans that were short and tight at the ankles, plain white tennis shoes, and a white wife beater (with some faded beach scene on the front). To top it off, he was wearing a red velvet smoking jacket, with black collar and sash tie. YOU…

now and then
This past weekend I was home alone. Chase was in Reelfoot taking pics. I spent the weekend working on stuff, and I had a shower Saturday afternoon. I spent saturday night at my parent’s house, and helped mom with her costumes for her upcoming play. Sunday I wasn’t feeling good, I think I had a sinus thing going on, so…

dreams
last night i dreamt i was on a road trip with my grandparents. We were out in the country and spent the night at my old high school. I got up in the morning and went into the bathroom, and when I did I left my blanket in there. As we were packing up I went back to get it,…

snowing!!
It’s snowing AGAIN! I don’t know man. Got to leave work early though so that’s a plus. I’ve got quite a few costumes I could do some nice shots of out in the snow. We don’t get a lot of snow here – usually it’s only like once a year if that – so when it does it’s a great…

Tim Gunn quotes
These are quotes that stood out to me from Tim Gunn’s book “Gunn’s Golden Rules.” A lot of them really struck a chord with me so I wanted to share. “I reflect on manners, or the lack of them, each and everyday. There are times when I want to stop the world for a moment and ask certain people some…

sims 3, photos, reading, etc
I’ve been reading Tim Gunn’s “Gunn’s Golden Rules” this week, I got it for Christmas and it’s really good. I actually broke out the highlighter and have been highlighting parts I like, so I can post some of my fav quotes here when I’m done. In my office I’ve been planning on having a little collage of some of my…

snow day, no way
It snowed last night. We got like maybe 4 inches here? Not bad. Not enough to get off work, though. Get to go in late, at least. One of these rare snow days I’ll actually put on Hoth Leia or Snowbunny Padme, but I never feel like it LOL I hate the cold and I hate the snow (it’s only…
