Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

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,…

New Photos: Donna, Emma, Jane, etc
I’m sorry I still haven’t finished the site! It took longer than I expected to move my content over (which is done!), so I still have finished it, looks-wise. I do have some updates – all of my Dragoncon costumes are up of course, and I have new photos for Jane, Mara Jade as Arica, Donna Noble, Ms Marvel, Lady…

a few more MidSouthCon 2011 pics
Here’s some pics I found from friends from this past weekend. (pic by Glenn) my hair looked great friday. too bad it didn’t stay that way. I was really surprised by how many people knew who I was supposed to be – better than at Anaheim or Dragoncon, even. (At dcon people kept asking if I was a steampunk person.)…

More GMX 2010 pics, and Briar Rose progress
So here’s my Ame-Comi Supergirl with the new wig: And here’s one of me and Kevin: It was freaking COLD in the hotel so I didn’t stay in it long. I was freezing to death! I put on Wonder Girl after that, and ended up wearing my hoodie over it most of the time. Here’s Wonder Girl: Me with the…

GMX 2010 pics!
I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…

A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!
Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

House updates, Anaheim Comic Con pics!
I forgot to post pics of our (almost) finished kitchen! The cabinets are done and they’re up! I’ll get a better pic with a real camera soon. I’m really happy with it. Now to hang stuff on the other end of the kitchen and our curtains and it’s done. Also, I cleaned up the prop room… Still a little messy…

Weekend Update… and Jane photos
Sorry I haven’t been posting all weekend! It was a busy weekend! Friday night we were going to go to a movie, but while we were wasting a few minutes at Hastings (where I broke down and bought comics. I try to just flip through them in the store instead of buying… but they’ve started selling old issues, so I…

Jane and Ms Marvel updates
(This post was originally posted on Livejournal, and has since been ported over to my blog, so the content may seem a little redundant.) I finished Jane & Ms. Marvel yesterday! We’re leaving Wednesday afternoon, we’ll be into Anaheim that evening. Thursday – Disneyland. Friday, I’ll be wearing Ms Marvel (Kevin is wearing a makeshift Tony Stark), and… I still…

Jane updates, and Hoth Leia art
It’s almost done. I just need to finish the belt and finish my other boot. I should be done tonight. Finally! (my dressform’s neck is messed up so I can’t fit my collar on it , which is why it’s sticking up like that, I had to button over the top of the dressform LOL) I got to see both…

365 Project – Snowbunny Padme + Jane Progress
Attacking Jane today, trying to get the skirt done. Also digging stuff out for packing. Still haven’t decided what I’m taking outside of the new costumes and Ewok Leia. Either Wonder Woman or Scarlet Witch, probably. Chase has his last Grizzlies game of the year tonight, so I’ll have plenty of time to work. today’s princess is Padme’s snowbunny suit…

Ms Marvel updates
I had a hair appointment this morning… Frankie curled my hair and it looked totally cute all day 🙂 Then I met Nana, Kristie, Ash, Hannah and Kevin at Steak and Shake for lunch, then while they all went back to work, I went home and sewed! And I finished Ms Marvel! I’m so relieved. It seemed like it was…

Leia Ewok art
Weird day. My computer went down with a virus this morning, so I left it home running antivirus stuff… Chase got home and fixed it for me, everything seems to be good now. But it’s always weird not to have my computer at work, plus Kevin had today off so it was really quiet in the office. I worked a…

Happy Easter!
I forgot my sketch post yesterday 🙁 I spent most of yesterday sewing. I finally got the skirt hemmed. It’s not perfect but it’ll do. Now I’m having zipper issues, I’ll have to wait and tackle that again this afternoon. But I got my lace sewn onto the edge, and one spat made, and I made the back swoop-y piece,…

Jane progress
I do have a finished piece for tomorrow… I almost finished it tonight but ran out of time. I need to draw a few simpler things – these Amidala ones take too long! Anyway today’s sketch… Poison Ivy It doesn’t come across in the scan… but there was a delicate-ness to this sketch that I really liked. I stopped working…

More Jane progress, kitchen updates
I got a lot of sewing done last night, enough to make me feel like I accomplished something. I got Jane’s top done, except for the little belt piece. Got the zipper put back in, the collar finished, and the sleeves finished. I’ve got to make the separate little piece for the collar now, and like I said, put the…

I got my Jane pith helmet!
I got my pith helmet yesterday 🙂 It’s a little too big, I mean it fits my head fine but the silhouette is a little big, but it’ll have to do for now. I’m only 3 weeks out! Gotta get it finished! I added this to my costume progress page.
