oh my god
I did not post last week… AGAIN! Well I didn’t have much to talk about so it’s not like anyone was missing anything. I’ve been having to go to the doctor every dang week, excluding the week to disney, and it’s really starting to fray my nerves. They’re trying to get my blood pressure under control before surgery later this…

it’s rat time
Remember how last week I said we were finally done with white backdrop shoots? Well I lied. Chase used a different camera for the last 2 shoots (Jedi Leia and Boushh) and when I got the shots back they just looked too different than every other white backdrop shoot; I looked back lit. Which was a bummer because i really…

thank you for your preferences
Sorry for no post monday! Or yesterday. I may have to start moving my weekly post back because Mondays are becoming too hard. And then I forget. I HAVE been working on the site though, I have all the costume pages updated with their new photoshoot pictures and notes. Yay. Speaking of, here’s a recap of the photoshoot pics I’ve…

champagne problems
Wow! After weeks of nothing much to post about, I finally have a decent amount of stuff to post about! First here’s a couple of Chase’s pics of my Wanda at Zooboo last weekend. And my parents! Monday I got something in the mail I’d been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I…

2020 wrap-up
I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn’t think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I’m angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did…

sail away
It’s Monday again. And once again I really don’t have much in the realm of sewing to show you guys this week. I did do a little. Excited about my new fabric, I decided to start messing around with Liberty Dies Padme. Decided that my smallest hoopskirt was closest to the right shape. It’s not 100% but it’ll work as…

2017 Year in Review
It’s that time of the year again… time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did…

rock and roll
So this weekend was…strange. Thursday I had a hair appointment after work — to get my Mon Mothma wig trimmed! This was the before. I didn’t think to take an after. He cut a lot off to thin it out! Looks much better! And also my ribbon for the white medieval dress came in: So pretty! I got some more…

New costume pics: Boushh and Donna Noble!
Here’s a few new costume pics we took recently. Boushh: Decided to take some shots of Boushh just because my cousin was doing some of his Luke Skywalker, so I did Leia-as-Boushh to do some matching shots. I still don’t have a new helmet and it’s in some desperate need of repairs (my blaster was a mess.) but it’s great…

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

DRAGONCON 2007, PART TWO!
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart – she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with…

Boushh Preview Pic!
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don’t like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So…

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Updates, KC WW, Boushh, Endor Leia
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today — get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for…

Boushh updates
Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I’m pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts…

KC WW stuff, Boushh, etc
Boushh pants are nearly done! I like how they look. They really just need weathering, now. Chase worked on the helmet for a long time last night, too. He got most of the leather on, I think. We’re still fighting with the cummerbund pieces, though… hopefully we’ll get them done soon. I worked on WW for a long time last…

Finished Padme, and other updates
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It’s a little on the light side, I may dye it again — AFTER Dcon. I’m tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight,…

Updates on everything, KC WW, Boushh, etc
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn’t get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara – I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still…

Marasiah and Endor Leia progress
I finished the designs on marasiah, yesterday, and also got my boots attached. Most of yesterday was spent on my endor poncho. I had to remake it – I’ll explain why, later. It didn’t take long – probably two hours, and I fixed some of the problems with the first one. Last night we ended up mostly doing nothing —…
