im not sick but im not well
Another weird week. Didn’t go out for New Year’s – that’s not new, we haven’t gone out in years – but we also still didn’t have Christmas because half the family is still covid positive. My mom finally tested negative this morning. Last week we had Cath & family staying with us for a couple of days. We really need…

Dragoncon 2023 – the costume recap
Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a…

Dragoncon 2023 – the general recap
Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn’t come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don’t feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let’s recap it all…. I can’t remember if I posted our badge…

hurricane elvis round 2
We had a big storm move through last night. It didn’t last all that long but was pretty intense. Power dimmed a few times but we never lost it completely. So we didn’t think it was that bad. Waking up this morning to most of the city still without power (and the power company saying it’s gonna be a few…

the final frontier
So I know it probably doesn’t look like I got a ton done this past week based on how few pics I have to post this week… but I did! It just wasn’t on the exact things I wanted to work on LOL I ended up getting stuck on the Breha vinyl pretty much the whole week. Didn’t start legitimately…

its boots day
Last part of my Nadja costume arrives today – my boots! Yay! I could finish Nadja in a couple of hours at this point – 1. Finish and sew on sash 2. Sew on hook and eye at back 3. Sew hat onto the headband But I’m now knees-deep in Breha construction so it’ll wait. My goal is to have…

happy june
It’s June which means we are now FULLY into Dragoncon mode. But first Kevin’s room. I talked about the trim colour last week but I took this pic with the swatch of the colour and I SWEAR how are these the same? They do look closer to each other in non-direct light, but here in direct light in the window…

oh hai mark
I don’t think I mentioned it in my last blog post, but my great-uncle passed away last weekend. He was 102! I didn’t post yesterday because we had his funeral. It was a long day. But we’ll get to that later. I got as much done on Nadja as possible while awaiting my next fabric shipment. The upper skirt is…

you know its not the same
I’m just going to start at the beginning of my photos from the last week and work my way through them. First up – my Nadja swatch arrived and looked good finally! I think I finally got the stripe sizing good. So I got my yardage ordered and hooray it was on sale – it was $50 cheaper than I…

may the 1st
It’s dad’s bday today! We went out for dinner Saturday night to a new korean bbq place. It was ok. Not like the one we had in NYC. I don’t have a lot of costume progress to show this week. I’ll chat about it at the end. New pin for the collection! A friend gave us some irises back in…

dragoncon ahoy
Ok now that Huntsville is behind us, it’s time to focus on Dragoncon and the costume progress I’ve made in the last week. So let’s get back to Rebels Leia… Got the sleeves on, and a neckline facing added. Pants time! Decided to do the same thing I did with Wanda last year and use the lower half of a…

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…

Breha Organa
On a random note, sometime (more than likely next year, as I don’t have time for it this year), if Chase ever decides to make the Bail Organa costume, I seriously want to make Breha to go with it. It’s such a pretty costume. Hopefully I’m going to make a fabric store run tomorrow. If I don’t get sidetracked at…
