    Our Pumpkins – 2011

    We went and picked out pumpkins last night and carved them! Well, Chase and Ash carved pumpkins, I emptied ours out (the only part I like) and then sat in the living room and watched Simpsons’ Halloween specials until they were done LOL Ash did a Cyberman: And Chase did one of ours, Mike Wazowski: We’re also doing a Sully…

    Halloween 2010 saturday

    Started off yesterday getting up at 6am with a migraine, and getting dressed as warm as possible to go out to Race for the Cure. We weren’t running but went to cheer on friends, it was fun and our t-shirts turned out great – I don’t have a pic of one yet but I’ll post one when I do. I…

    Halloween 2010 at work

    We had a Halloween party at work today, lots of yummy food and a costume contest and people dressed up. We had a black-eyed pea, a witch, a sort-of pirate, Julia Child (kevin), two fairies, an old lady, Foxy Brown, a vampire and an aerobics instructor. Here’s a few pics. First up, Kevin’s Julia Child costume. Wig is his Napoleon…

    GMX and Halloween plans

    I found a really great pic of Chase’s War costume at Dragoncon photognome took. He really did some awesome work on that costume, and it’s my fav pic of him in it I’ve seen. 🙂 So this weekend is GMX. We’ll be there around 9-9:30ish Friday night. Saturday we have the Photo/Posing panel at 5. Heading on home in the…

    Snow White + Graveyard Party pics

    I ran out of time because I ended up having to be at my aunt’s house an hour earlier for Trunk or Treat than I expected… I didn’t get a chance to make attach my bows or put the snaps on the upper part of the cape to keep it in place… but all nitpicky, I’m really happy with it.…

    Halloween 2008 Photos!!

    So Friday, I decided not to wear Poison Ivy to work, for the main reason I couldn’t lace it up by myself! I pulled out Hermione instead. So instead of matching Kevin as the Joker I matched Ash, who wore her Slytherin robes. Got to work and very quickly did Kevin’s hair and makeup and had him put the vest…

    Halloween Plans

    Sleeping Beauty is coming along, I’m *really* hoping to have it finished by next weekend, but if it’s not finished, oh well. I’ve got the dress basically put together, I need to attach the sleeves, attach the skirt to the bodice section and hem it, and get the zipper put in. I’m hoping to do most of those tonight. For…

    blah – halloween 2007

    So yeah, we ended up doing basically nothing for Halloween, yet again. We wanted to go try to find somewhere with a costume contest and try to win some money towards the wedding, but we were too lazy Saturday night, like I said, and we didn’t do anything last night, either. In fact, I didn’t even wear blue Belle to…

    Halloween 2007 Pics

    These are all from saturday 😀 First we headed over to the Grotto to takes pics of Wonder Woman. As I said before, since I was already going to be wearing it that day, and Saturday was what I thought was probably going to be our last warm day (it’s not, all this week is going to be warm, yay!)…

    Belle updates and Halloween plans

    The blue dress is finished, except ironing. Got it all taken up, hemmed, and the sleeves fixed. The white shirt still needs the cuffs on the sleeves and the collar. Other than that, it’s finished. I’m regretting my fabric choice on the shirt, though. Already! Geez. So, the upcoming Halloween-related events: Friday – leave for Nashville Saturday – Nashville Comic/Horror…

    Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics

    The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

    Upcoming Schedule

    I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

    I’m in Nashville every weekend for the rest of the month! This weekend, Chase won tickets to the Orange County Chopper show up there, so we’ll be up there at that. I’m hoping to go see Science of Sleep this weekend, too. The next weekend is an event for the Humane Society in Shelbyville. I’ve been trying to think of…

    Ceremonial Leia

    So I didn’t get my Halloween costume done, but I did throw together a last minute Leia Ceremonial costume – > I’m going to be redoing it next year, with a better necklace, the proper length (due to me walking around too much for what I made it for, I made it ankle length), and adjust the fit in the…

    I just had my first basketball practice in 10 years. Oh my god I hurt. It’s been a long ass day, and now I have Hitler screaming German in my ear (thanks, history channel!) I’m going to bed now. I’m tired of all this. Oh, by the way, my Halloween pics are up – I’ll be making a lj post…
