Padme’s Lake Dress Hair – a Sort-of Tutorial
A friend on instagram asked how I did my Padme lake dress hair, and I thought it would be way easier to answer over here where I could type everything out and post pictures easier than trying to type on my phone on instagram. I’ve never done a full tutorial on how I did this hair, BUT I have drawn…

the good & the bad
So Friday we got snow! Not a lot but it was enough to make driving a little scary. Unfortunately we didn’t get a snow day 🙁 I worked all day, Chase most of the day. So besides that I have two sets of costume updates – Bespin Leia (AKA the bad) and Dolores (AKA the good). Which do I start…

sickie
I’ve been sick the past couple of days but didn’t realize it til yesterday. Monday evening I started feeling kinda icky but I thought it was just being tired from the weekend combined with an oncoming migraine because of the weather shift. Tuesday I had a migraine that wouldn’t come under control but it wasn’t terrible. Yesterday I woke up…

Disney Wrap-Up 2016
I thought it would be fun to do a “wrap-up” of all of our Disney trips during our #MouseEarsforaYear experience! As a refresher – we bought annual passes this past year! This was a one time, special thing we did – we planned, we scrimped, we saved to be able to do 6 trips over the course of the year.…

Happy New Year!
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017… UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence… sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn’t wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more…

Dolores, Kuwait, and the Sims
It’s a super random post today. First up, I’ve already talked about Carrie Fisher’s passing both on FB and instagram so I’m not going to do it here. I don’t want to talk about it no mo. In happier news we booked our hotel for Celebration. We are going to do 3 days at Disney, 1 at Universal, and 1…

Christmas time is here again
I had a very nice Christmas break! Though I had planned to get a lot of sewing done and the sewing was very minimal… but sometimes you need a day of laying on the couch doing absolutely nothing, right? I had Friday and Monday both off, and Chase got off early friday and we went up to Jackson to spend…

Dolores progress
I got a good bit of work done last night! I started out by first off – fixing my ceremonial Leia belt. I got it out to take a photo last night and discovered one of the button covers on the conchos had popped off and nowhere was to be found. First time that’s ever happened with any of my…

2016 Year in Review!
I was going to say “it’s a little early for my year in review” but when I went back to look at last year’s to get my old plans, I did that one on 12/18! And this one is on 12/21 so I don’t think it’s early at all anymore. Ha! So last year I said this would be this…

Dolores, & bowling
This was a busy weekend! Saturday we spent the whole day running errands and Christmas shopping, pausing in the afternoon to go bowling for Ash’s birthday! I haven’t been bowling in probably a decade, so that was very interesting, LOL. None of us did very well but it was fun. Then some more shopping and then dinner for Ash’s birthday!…

Rogue One
more like Rogue FUN! First up, finished up Glinda and got it sent off, it fit perfectly, yay! Now I REALLY need my dressform back from mom. I finally made a little bit of progress on Bespin Leia. I really wanted to transfer one of my patterns over to some junk fabric so I could see how the spacing was…

Glinda, and Frozen
Part One: Glinda I finished up the Glinda bodice Saturday! Friday night I had a near panic attack over the ribbons, because as I got to the end I realized I was running shorter than I expected. As I got to the last segment I was two strips short. But, I had 6 stripes on the left side of the…

Glinda!
So mom and I have been working on a simplified version of Glinda’s “Popular” dress from Wicked. I keep saying it’s a theater project, but it’s not really for a play – but it’s for a theater related project. Anyway, we went a few weeks ago and picked out fabric, and mom has been working on the skirt. I’m in…

Christmas tree!
So Thursday night Chase had a meeting but I really wanted to decorate the house for Christmas, so I attempted to do it on my own. Everything kinda went ok, I managed to get the tree up by myself and got all the lights on. And then I decided I hated all the lights so, so much. The problem with…

Various art and stuff
Ok really there’s no “and stuff”… it’s just art. But the title seemed too short. First up is this Edith sketch from a month ago. I started colouring a while back but I got bored and haven’t finished it. Don’t know if I will so I thought I’d go ahead and upload it. Maybe I’ll at least finish her hand,…

MCFC Photos
Better late than never! Disney trip got me behind, just got these from Chase last night and uploaded. There’s not a ton. MCFC 2016 Gallery Mostly Donna photos. The last known photo of my phone *cries* It still hasn’t turned up — hasn’t been turned on or anything, which further reinforces my suspicion that it got kicked somewhere and is…

The Photopass post
It’s the traditional post-Disney photopass picture post! In front of the Christmas Tree at Magic Kingdom! The photographer told us to throw our hands up and look like we owned the place LOL We like catching photographers in places we hadn’t seen them before – like this one right outside of Big Thunder Mountain. This one cracks me up. Kevin…

One more Disney Trip Report
So this trips concludes our #MouseEarsforaYear… our last trip as Annual Passholders (for now — maybe again in a few years??). It’s been really great but honestly I’m so exhausted after this trip (and having 2 so close together) that I’m ready for a few months off LOL CAUTION… there’s some puke in this post so if you don’t like…

A weird weekend
This weekend did not go as planned. Friday we were going to go see Fantastic Beasts… but I was still feeling a little under the weather and wanted to save my energy for the con Saturday, so we stayed home. That night, I did finish the Phis and Gracyn that matches the other SunDowner character refs I did a few…

Some more art
I finished up the other two Disney princesses the last couple of days: Cinderella, meh, she was my least fav of the 4 I did. Snow White. I’ve also gotten all of the art pages/galleries finished and updated so if you wander into the art link in the menu above, it should be easier to navigate. As soon as we…
