    it’s the 2025 costume wrap-up post

    At long last! I’m posting this way later than I normally do! But I was waiting on the last of my white backdrop pics of stuff from this year. Ok, so let’s start off with reviewing what I said I was going to make in 2025 in December 2024: 1. MoM Scarlet Witch – YES! Finally buckled down and used…

    For 2 weeks at least. For 2 weeks I don’t have to worry about work. I stabbed myself on the side of my thumb like right next to the nail with a pin saturday and it’s making it really hard to type on a normal keyboard, but I will persevere. Ok first up, more white backdrop pics! Here’s a couple…

    post-dragoncon dump

    I may not be in the best mental place to be writing this but I need to do it before I forget everything. 24th Dragoncon is done and in the books. We left before dawn Tuesday morning. Before After Parents first time at Bucee’s! Check-in was smooth. The news of Taylor and Travis’ engagement broke just as we were pulling…

    Hey look I’m in good enough shape to be posting on my day off! Let’s just go through every project one by one. The Trois: Deanna has been done and partially packed. I did not try the whole thing on together so it’ll be a FUN SURPRISE to even me at Dragoncon. Lwaxana is finished, mom came over and we…

    Well hi, sorry I didn’t update last week. I was in the TRENCHES friends. Still am, but I’m stopping to post today, otherwise I won’t remember everything I need to cover. It’s already going to be dice-y here. First and foremost – my site is breaking again, this time it’s my blog headers. I have a separate plug-in I use…

    Well here we are after the 3 day weekend. I had big plans to have Belle totally done minus the wig, lower embroidered swags and shoulder drape. I didn’t even get CLOSE. But I did post up my “secret” costume on instagram so I can now post about it openly here – more below. Let’s go through the state of…

    Fully back to real life now, ew. I don’t know that I want to post anymore Lorne progress pics right now. I feel like if you watched the source material, you will recognize it at this point. (As of 7/7 I’ve now posted the finished costume, so I’m going back and updating my old posts to make them make sense.)…

    florals? for spring?

    groundbreaking! I did nothing this weekend except sew. It was marvelous. First up, on my Lorne costume – my swatch came in and looked great! So I ordered a yard and it’s shipped, should be here next week and then I can finish up that costume. So that’s 2 down – onto #3? As I said last post I got…

    (EDITED TO ADD AFTER POSTING: I did not realize until I posted I used 2 Mr Bean headers in a row. Not mad at it.) Another productive week, though it took me longer to get some stuff done than I had planned. Here was my to-do list last week — with updates: -finish bottom edge of Lorne bodice -pleat skirt…

    HEY! I have some really good costume progress to show this week! ~*WOW*~ The finished picnic Padme disneybound. I still need to get some ribbons for my hair and I also thought about hanging some ribbons from the sides of the belt. We’ll see. I’m so tempted to just buy one of those tie-on ponytails that I can precurl so…

    Busy weekend! Lots to talk about. Let’s do the weekend events first! Saturday we met Ash and Gabe for Midtowncon and lunch. I had been planning to wear my TOS uniform all week, I even decided on a new hairstyle (one of my fav things about that costume is the fun of getting to play with different hairstyles), made a…

    does this impact the lore?

    First up, I got contacts!! Well, almost. Had my eye doctor appointment Saturday and asked if contacts were possible with my RX. He said yes, but — they couldn’t really do a lot for my up close reading, they’d have to prioritize my astigmatism over that, but it would be enough to give me a break from wearing the glasses,…
