A Non-Birthday Blog Post
It’s been a bit since I did a regular post! I’ve been concentrating on getting the birthday blog posts up and going. So let me pick up since the last post. Chase and I split an amazon gift card from Christmas and I got this: Oh yes. It’s good. And we got a lion hat for Luna. She hates it.…

New Photos, New Costume!
I’ve posted new photos of several costumes! One of them is not really a “new” costume – but it’s one I never wore and never had photos of until now! And as a bonus, here’s a behind-the-scenes video of how we do a white backdrop photoshoot!

Mandalorian wrap-up
Out of all my new costumes for Dragoncon, this was my favourite! I’m very proud of how it turned out. It was fun and comfortable to wear, and for the first time ever I had 10 year old boys wanting their picture with me. LMAO. We painted the helmet ages ago. Here’s my helmet in-progress: > Here’s my vest in-progress:…

Dragoncon2006: Saturday pics!
Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn’t really get my hair on right – we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that…

Dragoncon 2006: Friday pics!
I’m home from Dragoncon! I got home yesterday and had to work, so I came home and pretty much crashed. It was a great weekend! We did dub it “The Weird Dragoncon” because we didn’t do thinks like we normally did. I’m working on getting my pics up while here at home. I just got my wisdom teeth out at…

Progress updates
It’s so strange being able to pack my costumes – and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I’ve driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I’ve not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It’s an odd experience, but a good one. Chase’s costume is almoooooost…

Mando, Belle updates
Today was really busy. We made good progress on Chase’s costume. It’s almost there. The mando is almost done, too. After the weathering on the shirt and vest dry I can finish it tomorrow. Blue Belle just needs one or two more things. Yellow Belle needs her roses sewn on. My secret costume needs the belt finished and the wig…

Wonder Woman delay, Mando updates
A bit of bad news – though sort of good news for me, as I was really worried about it – Wonder Woman will not be ready for Dragoncon. I had originally not intended her for Dragoncon anyway – but Chase thought we could get it finished so we tried. But now it’s come down to the final hour… and…

Mando updates, and SDCC pics
When you starting dreaming about your costume to-do lists…. well, it’s just plain silly. Yesterday I focused on stamping and almooooost got the thing done. Chase still won’t let me show the secret. But here’s a few other pics I took over the weekend. Stitch’s nose fell off after the Big Scoop. It was inevitable, it had just barely been…

Stamping Corde, and Mando updates
Stamping stamping stamping… that’s all i’ve been doing is stamping this handmaiden robe! but i’ve gotten into a good groove with it and it’s going a little faster now. I got the robe hemmed and all i need to do (besides the stamping) is but the collar in and do the appliques. Still got beading to do and need to…

Corde, WW, Mando and other updates
Handmaiden: I got the basic robe made. However I made a mistake and sewed the front together opposite – no worries, easy to fix, I’ll just take it apart and switch the sides. I’m going to do that tonight. Tomorrow night I will do the designs… tonight I will start the beading. Mando: No major progress, except I found some…
