    dragoncon blues

    HI! I’m home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let’s backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless!…

    Queen Aelsa… (not Elsa) Donna Noble, Fires of Pompeii. This needed a photoshoot since I redid the trim and fixed a few problems earlier this year – then I took no photos of it at Dragon Con.

    Dcon 2014: Donna costume

    It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up.

    Blah!

    Can it just be time for Dragoncon yet? Tuesday night I got nothing done. Headache was so bad I just laid on the couch and slept until I got up and went to bed. Last night back on the horse, dyed my Donna wig slightly darker, worked on Johanna. Got the top section totally finished – yay! So now I…

    This weekend

    Went to Mema’s. Slept, ate, did a fat lot of nothing mostly. And this 2 weeks before dragoncon! But we came home early yesterday (with a sick puppy in tow.
