Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our 18th trip to Dragoncon in 2019. This includes planning, costume construction, photos and trip reports. For this year my new costumes were Padme's Lake Gown (5th and Final version), Hera (Lore: Olympus), Dr Crusher (Star Trek: TNG), Jedi Leia, and an updated Crait Leia.

i got nothing
seriously I’m not even sure why I’m making a post today, I guess habit? Because I have nothing new to post about today! This weekend was hard. I don’t like going into personal life stuff online too much, so I’m struggling with how much I want to post here. Basically the weekend of Dragoncon 2 things happened; first, Chase’s mother…

Dragoncon 2019 Wrap-Up
It’s my favourite post of the year! The post where I get to recap Dragoncon and post all my fav pics. So Wednesday I went into work early so I could leave early (2), which ended up not being necessary… I’d pretty much gotten everything packed Tuesday night and all I really had left was stuff like my toothbrush, medicine,…

a few last minute pics
AHHHH god I still have to work today. I’m off at 2 and we’ll probably hit the road at like 5 or so, so we won’t be into Atlanta until very late. I figured I’d post my last handful of progress photos. Finished necklace! Well, mostly, I was about to glue the necklace chain in place. Chase got the mother…

risk category 5
We are officially in risk category 5, but I have achieved my state of clear. Everything is pretty much done at this point. Now it’s just struggling thru half this week at work until I can set my out of office and I’m on the road. Friday afternoon I got my hairs re-redded. And brows waxed. Slowly emerging from the…

friiiiiiiday update
So first a Chase update. LIke I said in my last post, he ended up having to call an ambulance and go to the ER. My parents were thankfully able to sit with him until I got off work. They did another MRI and gave him a ton of pain meds and some muscle relaxers and by the time he…

Well. Chase was feeling a lot better last week. Was able to go to my cousin’s wedding reception Friday night (he just stayed in a wheelchair), Saturday he was able to walk around and do his own stuff and and even came upstairs once, and that afternoon drove my car to Hobby Lobby (he stayed in the car while I…

that’s enough for me
Yes I’m posting on a Friday, the world has gone mad. Nah we’re just in THREAT LEVEL DRAGONCON so I thought I’d do an extra update. First, Ash and I had a good time in Nashville. Today’s post title thanks to this wonderful album cover we saw at Great Escape. We had time to run around a bit before the…

xylophones
Did anybody else’s elementary school music class consist of mostly playing xylophones? Everytime the teacher assigned us a xylophone to play, I was always given one of the tiny ones to play. I always really wanted to play one of the bigger ones with the little mallets. Nobody ever let me play the big ones with the mallets. I’d sneak…

Dragoncon State of the Union: August Edition
I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday’s post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I’m going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the…

more than a feeling
I don’t have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they’re not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for…

Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union – July Edition
It’s been about a month since I posted my Dragoncon State of the Union. I thought it was time to update since then. As a reminder: I put everything on hold for about 2 weeks while I quickly whipped up a Misato costume for Anime Blues Con this coming weekend. It was nice to take a break from stuff and…

Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union
It’s the rare second post in a week but I decided it was time to do a big ole’ Dragoncon post so it’s not taking up room in my next weekly post. 1. Dr Crusher! NEW and almost done! YAY! Seriously I got my lab coat material yesterday, it looked great, no need for dye, got it washed and dried…
