Below you’ll find my blog posts about various art related activities. This tag is not well kept up and probably contains a lot of old and broken links.

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…

its the update
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…

My fingertips are burnt off
Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That’s how they feel today. So yeah that’s mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn’t use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading.…

Peter Pan Pants Pattern
I hope nobody finds this post by googling “Peter Pan Pants Pattern” because I’m not actually talking about Peter Pan’s pants pattern. It’s just something Kevin and I kept saying last weekend as a tongue twister LOL So I’ve spent the bulk of this week focusing on finishing up Peter Pan. Tuesday I was all like “I’m going to finish…

Birthday Blog: Thank You!
So I know that my site and blog have changed a lot over 20 years. From fanart, SunDowner and screaming about college in 3 posts a day, to 2 years worth of online quiz results, to talking about nothing but costumes and housework. (Seriously you guys have no idea how many quiz result posts from 2007-2009 I deleted when I…

I have gazillion things to post
Wow I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start… We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little…

turn around bright eyes
I’m not off work today unlike my entire family so I’ll be watching the eclipse from the parking lot at work. And I don’t have any glasses or anything so I won’t actually see the eclipse. I do have some welding glass but according to what I’ve read it’s not dark enough. And I also forgot to get new breakfast…

ugggggggggh
I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating. I really don’t have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I’ll…

i need a nap and pizza
Everything is back to normal in our house. Luna is no longer in hiding. We will try again after Dragon Con. I was just exhausted yesterday and ended up with another flipping migraine. Still got a decent amount of work done on the hat. Can’t show any photos tho. Sorrrrrrrry. I bought some big pearls for this project and can’t…

Pink satin, Misato and Luna
I got my Misato pics uploaded! This is now officially the oldest costume we’ve shot on the white backdrop – beating out Lum by a couple of months. Like I said in the last post, I shot with my natural tone wig first. And then switched to the original purple wig. I decided to wear these black combat boots from…

wigs and dye and spider
Ugh… so over a year ago — almost two years ago now — I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I’d adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning…

A giant art post
Yes it’s a huge art dump. Well huge by today’s standards, not so much by like… me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I’ve been working on for a while… I got bored after I finished the face so I’d do just a little bit each day because I didn’t really feel like doing the rest LOL…

some stuff
They can’t all be good titles ok? I drew Diana. just a time waster. I ended up liking just the lineart better than the finished thing so I’m glad I took a screencap of it. I did a little more than that but didn’t like it so I’m leaving it like that one. In other news a couple of weeks…

hulk smash
I am getting SO frustrated with USPS. The last two small things I’ve ordered — my tablet glove back in March, and now my fabric swatches — have both gone missing. The tablet glove made it to Memphis and then just disappeared. After 3 weeks Amazon refunded it (not like it was expensive to start with)… and then it finally…

ow my face
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! I’ve had nothing to post about. Haven’t been working on anything – but finally going fabric shopping this weekend YAY. And hopefully my fabric samples I ordered earlier this week will also be here today so I can place the order for that. So what have I been up to otherwise? Wellllll let…

I just can’t do it!!
So, I finished Yoke #3 and it’s all right. It’s not greeeeeat but it’ll do. It’s not like I could try again, there’s no fabric left! After that photo I did take the collar off and inset it into the yoke so there’s no ugly seam sticking out between them. This resulted in a kinda ugly stitch line where it’s…

a bit of everything
new magic bands! I’m Jyn, Chase is Cassian, Kevin is K2SO. I may wear this new one instead of my Haunted Mansion band… my Haunted Mansion band will always kinda be my “AP Year” magic band. Speaking of which, our APs officially expire tomorrow. Anyway, Kevin got to open the box with me, he’s excited! This is our first time…
