dragoncon2018
Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our 17th trip to Dragoncon in 2018. This includes planning, costume construction, photos and trip reports. For this year my new costumes were Crait Leia, Queen Amidala's Post Senate Gown, Carrie Fisher, Garth, and Kate from the B-52s.

weird & wacky
When you have so few pics for today’s post that you don’t even have a good one for a header… So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don’t actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher – I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets…

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!…

Dragoncon Eve
Happy Dragoncon Eve! It’s happy because I FINISHED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. Well like 99.9% but still, everything major is DONE and if the stuff I plan on doing tonight doesn’t get done, it’s not a big deal. So my to-do list is: Run one errand after work Do laundry Trim that lacefront wig that’s arriving today (the base for the…

it’s your rare mid-week post
I don’t have my phone today. It has made me very aware of how many times a day I reach for my phone for no particular reason. Like literally every 10 minutes. It’s getting a new battery put in today. I wanted to just go ahead and buy a new phone, because it’s time, but Chase said some new phone…

a trip and a lot of beading
Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don’t have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it’s just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday,…

the beadings will continue until dragoncon
So let’s see, what have I done since last weekend? Oh that’s right, I sat on the couch and beaded every single day. Ok so first. I was telling Kristie that I didn’t like the bugle beads and was going to take them off that first test piece and redo them. She looked at my reference and was like, “uh…

weekend stuff
Sooooo this weekend. To be honest I don’t want to go into the shittiness of most of this weekend; but the one point relevant to my blog is that Kes is sick and we don’t know how long we have with her. It is tough. So that is all I am going to say about that. I’m going to focus…

in which i am homeless, and sad
First off OMG I had a migraine ALL last week, monday thru friday and friday I made myself sick taking way too much pain medicine (because I was out of migraine medicine). So that was fun. Especially while trying to get the house ready for moving this weekend!! But tuesday I was surprised with another package at work: Chase got…

a very moving weekend
Guess what! Chase and I are homeless. We closed on our house Friday. All done. The new owner takes possession a week from today, so we have until then to move out. It’s so strange feeling. Like I said, I’m a little sad. It’s been a great home. But before I get too far into all that, let’s go back…

Finally some Amidala Progress
I don’t have a ton to post about today!! Mostly since I did a second post last week. We’ve had Kevin with us since Tuesday last week, so that’s been fun. I don’t know what this snapchat filter was supposed to be but it look like the Lunchlady’s yearbook picture. Friday Chase got off work early so as soon as…

Anime Blues Con Post – Part 1
HI! I have a lot to post today. It was a long weekend! And it all started Thursday night, Ash and I had tickets to go see Trixie Mattel! We went and had dinner first and then headed over; we had pretty darn good seats (like 7th row center I think?). It was miserably hot in the venue, the chairs…
