Halloween, Part 2
Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day… I just wore Chase’s Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I’d wear my DCNU Wonder Woman…

Halloween weekend!!
IT’S HALLOWEEN YALL! We had a really fun weekend. Friday night started with cooking dinner and settling in on the couch to start watching Stranger Things 2. We got through 2 episodes that night. Saturday morning we slept in a bit, and then I started getting ready. (How to tell a photoshoot is happening at my house) We had very…

the nun is done
Finished up the last bit of the nun and delivered yesterday. Fingers crossed everything fits and works ok! Chase was a very good sport and tried it all on for me so I could make sure the veil attachment worked and double check my sleeve and hem measurements. I had to take it with me to play practice to finish…

More Disney photos, and Edith sleeves
First up, Chase gave me the photos he took of my Tightrope Walker last weekend! Had to go get pics with my alligator buddies before we left the hotel for the party. I love these guys. And then over at Magic Kingdom… I also got these added to my Tightrope Walker portfolio page along with parasol construction info. Speaking of…

Photopass Photos, plus some website thoughts
Uploaded my photo pass photos last night! Meeting Jack and Sally: Kevin’s face!! LOL Rose made this which Kevin was in stitches over: Kevin and I in front of Pirates, being Captain Hook Me in front of Haunted Mansion, with a ghost friend! End of the night… Kevin and I about to ride our fav! Chase won’t ride it with…

Disney, Again
So we finally got to go on our rescheduled October Disney trip! Thursday we left directly after work, drove to Atlanta to spend the night. Our usual overnight hotel in Columbus was booked solid, so we had them move us to one in Atlanta… and it was not great. (When I said “Oh then just move us to one in…

Halloween & sewing room
Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone… Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head…) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn’t matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds…

Halloween yay!
Halloween was fun! So, Friday, I “dressed up” for work. Basically I wore my Janet Snakehole wig and my April Ludgate work ID. Even thought it was just me and my boss in the office so I don’t know why I bothered! LOL And then Kevin tried on my wig… We thought about going out Friday night since there were…

Random Stuff
Hey! I’m behind on posting. Here’s what’s been going on lately. Last week I made a dress for a friend for Halloween! It’s not a great picture of it. The main part of the dress is a really neat, heavy matte knit that I really liked working with. My only issue was that I didn’t have the best needle for…

Halloween 2014
So, didn’t do much for Halloween this year. I did a sort-of Ginny Weasley costume for work – my cousin’s Harry sweater (so it was nice and big and baggy) over a yellow plaid button-up, a grey knit skirt, black tights and my grey uggs with my red/yellow gryffindor socks sticking out of the top. It was very comfortable –…

A Halloween Retrospective
I love Halloween. It’s my favourite holiday. I love dressing up (obviously), spooky stories, fun decorations, parties, trick-or-treating, all of it. I do wish Halloween was still the same way it was when I was a kid – it’s become really watered down over the past couple of decades. Sad. Also, there is absolutely jack for grown-ups to do unless…

Halloween and Costume Commissions
Hi everyone, For those of you coming across my site in search of Halloween costumes to purchase or for help on Halloween costumes, this post is just a gentle reminder that I do not sell my costumes, and I am not open to take commissions for custom costumes at this time (and, due to my relatively new job, I am…

Halloween, part 2
Yesterday’s weather was awful. It rained and stormed all day, with high winds. Last year we didn’t have as many trick-or-treaters as before and the weather was fine, so I figured, this bad weather is going to chase the bulk of them off – I’ll be surprised if we get 5 trick-or-treaters. At least we had good candy that would…

It’s Halloween – Time for Spooky Stories
So I was just going to link my ages old posts on spooky stuff I have here on my blog from my livejournal days – but they’re so old that they’re hidden, so I decided to just rewrite them and share them with a decades-later perspective. I grew up loving ghost stories – especially “true” ones, and admittedly had (have)…

Halloween!! (Part 1)
Besides our Hocus Pocus photoshoot, we’ve already done a handful of Halloween-related events, so I thought I’d go ahead and post a few photos. Last week I actually won a contest on facebook, getting free tickets to go see a showing of Hocus Pocus on the big video screen at Redbirds Stadium. Kevin and I both wore our Hogwarts uniforms,…

Halloween is one week away…..
Do I have time to rush-make a complete costume for your Halloween party? You’ve waited til exactly a week before Halloween to ask, and you want it for 1/10 the price of what I would charge even IF I did commissions? Oh, so now you’re asking to borrow one of my costumes? So, overall, the answer is…

Halloween
Yay! It’s October! I’ve been using that gif everywhere.

Halloween Costume Help
I never mind helping anyone build a costume, ever. As long as I have time, I always try to help other costumers out, because I’ve gotten a helping hand myself countless times. Helping each other is one of the biggest positives about the community. That being said, I have been inundated with commission requests and requests for help on costumes.…

Halloween 2012
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near…

Halloween 2011
Put on Snow White to hand out candy tonight – ran out of candy way sooner than we expected! My favourite was an older kid wearing a gorilla mask and a convict-type suit, carrying a Disney Princess bag. He didn’t say anything but kept pointing to Snow White on his bag excitedly, LOL. Here’s our pumpkins – Snow White –…
