incoherent screaming
Oh my GOSh I have so much to post about since last week. SO I have posted about this on social media at all because I DON’T WANT TO JINX IT. But we saw a house last Wednesday and loooooooooooooooooved it. We made an offer on Thursday. They countered on Friday and Friday evening we accepted their counter. So we…

dragoncon blues
HI! I’m home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let’s backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless!…

2009 Year in Review!
what I finished, what I didn’t get to, and 2010… Here’s what I said at the end of 2008 that I’d like to do in 09… 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia – HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I – yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary – yes 4.…

C5, Photoshoots, Convention planning
I know a lot of people are excited and I don’t want to bring anyone down! So you can just skip this segment if you don’t want to hear non-excited talk about C5 LOL. I am very disappointed that C5 is going to be 2 weeks before Dragoncon. Just about any other time of the year and we would have…

Dragoncon 2009 Recap
I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

3 days left… costume updates
I can’t believe Dragoncon is upon us, and I can’t believe how little I’ve posted this past month. I guess it’s just been everything going on and the slight weirdness of not being in my own place while working. (On that note, though, it looks like we’re closing on the house the day after we get back from Dragoncon. Kinda…

dragoncon updates!!
Well I haven’t done much better about posting, have I? I finally took some progress pics so I actually have something to post today. Rogue (age of apocalypse version) is at about 75% done. From the top down… I’ve still got to trim the wig a little. I’m really happy with what I bought for it – the white part…

Marvel Girl Progress
So I was bored of working on the big green monster last night, so I worked on… a little green monster? LOL I decided to start on my Jean Grey dress as a break from the other project, and it went together really fast! I had to get creative with the skirt because I didn’t have enough fabric but it…

Anne Boleyn & other updates
Got the bodice put together on the big green thing, it was giving me fits last night, about to drive me crazy. I think I’ve got enough leaves from the last poison ivy leftover to do the next. It doesn’t need as many leaves. I’ve got the bodysuit to dye, I think I’m going to have to go buy a…

Dragoncon costume updates
Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be…
