indy

Below you'll find blog posts about my dog Indiana Jones (Indy). Indy passed away Christmas 2014 at the venerable old age of 18. I could not have asked for a better dog. We were very blessed.

    a bunch of random non-costume stuff

    I was digging through old hard drives yesterday looking for some old pics for a Christmas project and came across a bunch of random pics I’ve never uploaded for anything. So this is a post about that. If this isn’t interesting to you, sorry, it’s my blog I do what I want. My wedding dress! I took these to show…

    Ms Marvel & Indy

    I found this pic I’d never done anything with when going through Ms Marvel pics. She was in probably every photoshoot we ever did at the house. (because she was always nosy about what we were doing)

    Indy

    I wrote a nice memorial post for Calvin when he passed last year. I can’t do the same for Indy. There aren’t the words. We said goodbye yesterday. She was my baby and a part of me is gone forever. She lived to be 18 years old. She got me through the worst of high school, through college, through 3…

    Overly Critical Indy

    “I feel like the colour story of your sequins could be stronger. Try more turquoise as opposed to be royal blue.” I couldn’t really get a decent photo of my in-progress Elsa bodice – in the yellow light of my office it looks grey, in the sun it looks pale, pale blue. Really I don’t know why I’m concerned about…

    Stuff from yesterday

    Well yesterday, I packed some more… We played with worbla… I helped Chase with a wig, and I got my skirt put together And then I decided I hadn’t done enough beading on Saturday so I started beading the skirt And Chase has the power I also painted some gauntlets. My hands are covered in purple and brown paint, and…

    Saturday night

    So! Yesterday, I started kinda packing, almost finished embroidering my pants, then Chase and I ran errands and fell asleep on the couch. Today we got up early and went and had breakfast, then a couple more errands. Came home and got to work on stuff. I finally broke down and dyed my wig. Been scared of doing it. It…

    A flashback

    I know it’s not throwback thursday but my dad emailed me this old picture he found: My old futon bunk bed, my old computer (I spent many an hour playing Sims 1 and doing artwork on that computer), all my Beatles posters, and baby Indy (with colour on her face!) looking up at the stuffed Husky I had gotten in…

    Life update

    Well I figured I’d write some about stuff that’s been going on lately. I’ve been trying to sew some stuff for my etsy store but haven’t had a ton of time; after getting back from Disney Indy got really sick. It was back and forth from the vet to the animal hospital to the vet – they finally diagnosed her…

    Pictures of Things

    So. Here’s some pics like I promised. Here’s my new Belle wig, haven’t done anything to it, but I’m really pleased with it. And then I’ve got a lot of red stuff. And here’s the cutest thing ever.

    home alone… time to dress up the dog

    I was home along last night since Chase was shooting, so I remade the outside layer of my bodice. (pluuss I got the fabric for $5 and it’s what I wanted originally, the same as I used for my 2009 Wonder Woman, couldn’t find it first time I went shopping for this.) So anyway, I got it cut out thursday…

    i can’t concentrate

    being on the pain meds makes me feel slightly drunk and drowsy, and also all over the place, I can’t concentrate on anything. which results in this: honestly she wouldn’t stay out of my way while I was working on it yesterday (see? wouldn’t get out of my lap.) So I think she must think it’s for her! I’ve gotten…

    Indy and her wine

    Back when we were at the apartment, I bought Indy a new toy – a stuffed dog toy that looks like a bottle of wine. She didn’t really seem to care for it and never played with it. Well last week I found it when I was unpacking a box of stuff that was under the kitchen sink (no clue…

    Intruder Dog

    These people down the street have this little tiny sort-of rat terrier looking dog. And they just let him out, no leash, no line or anything. So far it hasn’t really a big deal – if we come outside with Indy, it’s more an issue of keeping Indy calm. The little dog just usually barks but keeps his distance. Well…

    Indiana the Genius Dog

    Indy will take anything I hand her. She’ll usually drop it after a few seconds once she realises it’s not food. Well last night I was walking into the kitchen to throw away a piece of paper, and as I did Indy came walking around the corner. She looked up at me so I handed the piece of paper to…

    Indy the Wonder Dog

    This is what happens when I organize my fabric and realise I have enough scraps to make a silly costume for my dog. This was the best pic I could get of her in it. We’re going to the St Jude Showcase of Dogs this weekend… and I was going to take her in her superdog costume. But then I…
