More Tightrope Walker progress…
My little weirdo snuck in my office the other night and was in fur heaven. I had to kick her out when she started trying to eat it, though. I didn’t get to do a ton of sewing this weekend. Saturday was move day for my grandma. After my Pawpaw passed last year, we got her into an assisted living…

Furry
A couple of weeks ago we got some new hardware from Comcast/xfinity – the box it all came in turned out to be Luna’s favourite thing. I put some towels down in it and she just hangs out in it sometimes. I went home for lunch yesterday and she was sleeping in it when I walked in. All the cat…

Some more progress
I think it’s starting to look like something. I got the skirt panels sewn together last night — nothing fancy there. Just pinned them onto the form over my petticoat to see what they were looking like. It’s too long but I cut it extra long so I’d have plenty to work with. I’m thinking I maaay have to make…

Woooow I sewed some stuff
I’ve had a cold since I got back from Disney, and on top of that had a migraine come on Saturday… ugh! Despite that I actually got some sewing done over the weekend! Saturday I got over to Joann’s, hoping to find fabric for the bodice of my Dragon Con costume, and failing that, I figured I’d get the white…

Disney Photopass photos!
Got all of our photopass photos downloaded last night! The Joy & Sadness meet and greet was fun and worth the 40 minute wait. Gotta do one castle shot of course… We met Lilo at Typhoon Lagoon! So exciting! I’d never met Lilo before. They had a photographer stationed at the end of the Crush N’ Gusher who gave us…

Back from Disney (Again!)
We had a super short 4th of July trip to Disney over the weekend! I didn’t take a ton of photos on my phone — we forget the power brick for recharging, so I was trying to save power, especially on Monday when we were at Magic Kingdom all day from 8am to midnight! And Sunday when we did Typhoon…

Edith Photoshoot
I’m really very happy with how the photos turned out! My aunt had one huge candle holder that would have been great… if it didn’t weigh like 20 lbs! I couldn’t it up. But the ones I could pick up looked nice too. This next picture is not my favourite – the flash didn’t go off correctly – but it’s…

Zombie Walk!
So for the past couple of weeks we’ve been planning on going down to Beale Street June 24th. Chase needed to get some footage for the movie he is working on, and it was Kevin’s birthday so we thought we’d all go and eat at Dyer’s that night. Friday while I was home for lunch, I discovered on twitter that…

Edith photoshoot!!
Sorry I haven’t posted in (checks) 10 days! My website’s server has been up and down… looks like it’s finally stable again now. Plus I haven’t really had much to post; haven’t sewn much in the past 2 weeks. I’m hoping to finish cleaning up my sewing room this weekend and get back to work. So let’s see, what has…

not much to show
I sewed a little over the weekend, but not a lot. I got the design for the front panel of my Arianna dress finished and uploaded to spoonflower… but then couldn’t find my spoonflower sample book. I’m pretty sure I want to do the Cotton Sateen, but I really wanted to feel the material first. Stupid sample book has been…

Yay dye
Last night Chase helped me boil a ton of water and put it in a bin (because I don’t have a pot big enough to properly do the stove top method) so I could dye all of my fabric. The dye took pretty quick. I did leave it in for about 30 minutes, but there wasn’t anymore colour change between…

A stroke of luck
So back to the saga of my Rapunzel’s mom costume (ok I Just googled it and apparently the king and queen finally have names thanks to the upcoming cartoon series? King Frederic and Queen Arianna. Thank goodness, that’s so much easier to say than “my Rapunzel’s mom costume.”) Friday night I went and dug out the pattern I wanted to…

Halloween Party Planning
Chase & I bought our Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets yesterday… ya’ll don’t understand, I have wanted to go to this for AGES but with it falling right after Dragon Con every year, it was just a no-go, money-wise and vacation-time wise. Since we’re severely cutting back on Dcon this year, we are finally going to be able…

Last round of Photos!
I’ve gotten my portfolio updated — I added Disneybound Leia and Edith! And I got Chase’s photos uploaded! Brainfreeze: Me & Kev Me and Kev Part 2 Walking thru Hollywood Studios Oddly enough, this is now the 2nd photo we have of Kevin being menaced by a blow-up Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. This Guardian of the Galaxy group was one…

Meeting Olaf… Heading to…

Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 2, plus Megacon!
Saturday morning I was up and getting in costume, while Chase got Kevin into his Luke costume. Thankfully, Edith was easy to get into. Like I (think I) mentioned the other day, I decided to forego the wound prosthetics, which made getting ready much faster. We got to the convention center early, and….. parked in the wrong parking lot. We…

Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 1!!
Wednesday after work, Kev and I started loading the car waiting on Chase to get home. It was raining which didn’t make it an easy job! Kevin thought we were just going to the convention. He had noooo clue. Nana & Kristie got him a Stefon shirt for the trip! That night we stopped in Columbus, GA for a quick…

A madhouse
This weekend was a madhouse! Thursday the last of my fabric came, so I got my dress panels sewn together, pleated, and attached to the yoke that night. Friday I got it hemmed and discovered my two front panels were a bit too short. At this point I didn’t even had time to freak out, just took some of my…

Oh Lyman!
Yesterday apparently a lady with a first name similar to mine and a last name similar to what i go by on the internet bought a new car in Oxford, MI — I know this, because either she or the dealership misspelled her email and I’m getting the emails about it at my kelldar gmail. I had to tell myself…

Disneybounding Leia Progress
Since I’m stuck waiting on my last bit of fabric for the dress, I did some prep work last night on Edith: -Got the other 4 panels sewn together -sewed the pearl buttons on the sleeves and neckline -finished gathering the sleeves And I finished up my Leia shirt. Got it pressed and as much of the thread from the…
