2017 Year in Review
It’s that time of the year again… time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did…

MCX, photoshoot, Young Frankenstein, etc
So my high school reunion is coming up. Am I going? Anyway lots to talk about from this weekend!! Friday night Chase & I had tickets to go see Young Frankenstein at Elmwood Cemetery. Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by…

dragoncon 2017
Uggggggggh I’m back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It’s time for this year’s Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town – but Hurricane Harvey put a…

a gigantic post
Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they’re not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I’m lazy. It never fails that anytime I’m in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, “Ok, let’s play…

blah
LOL I have apparently already had 10 other posts named “Blah.” This is “blah 11.” I am almost done with everything. Should be finished up this weekend… in fact everything is looking good enough that I’m switching my days off around. I’d originally put down I’d be off next Thursday and Friday (even though we aren’t leaving til Friday). I’d…

in which I think about dragoncon
Didn’t get a whole lot done last night. Well maybe kinda. Finished painting my shoes, got the lowest ruffle sewn on. Got the sequins sewn onto the straps and got the first line of sequins sewn across the top of the bodice. Had to handsew those so it took a little longer – I have to do one more line…

this week
Guess who ruined more fabric with dye and is going to have to go buy more fabric again? I have no idea what happened. This was the weirdest dye experience I’ve ever had. I’d done tests on this fabric and they’d all turned out fine. I staggered the dyeing — a few panels of the dress in for 10 minutes,…

wigs and dye and spider
Ugh… so over a year ago — almost two years ago now — I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I’d adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning…

a dye test
Last night I re-did Mon Mothma’s sleeves because I realized I’d done them a little wrong – thankfully nothing difficult to fix. I don’t feel like figuring out the necklace thingie D: I am lazy. I don’t want to do any crafting. I just want to sew. NO CRAFT ONLY SEW So since I didn’t feel like messing with that…

Happy Monday!
Hey I have apparently never called a post “Happy Monday” before, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Started off the weekend with a bang when I broke a crown eating lunch on friday. I’ve already had so much dental work this year and so much more to come that it’s just like, piling on. At least…

some stuff
They can’t all be good titles ok? I drew Diana. just a time waster. I ended up liking just the lineart better than the finished thing so I’m glad I took a screencap of it. I did a little more than that but didn’t like it so I’m leaving it like that one. In other news a couple of weeks…

Yeah, go to Jackson, go comb your hair
Spent the weekend in Jackson! Had a great time. Friday night we just picked up dinner and ate at my grandparent’s which worked out great because I was able to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race (I thought I’d have to wait til I got home Sunday). Played some battlefront with Chase, he hated it. But at least he played. Saturday we…

Long weekend was long
But not long enough… back at work today and it’s rough 🙁 So what all did I get up to this weekend… well starting with Thursday night, Chase and I went to the High School Musical Theater Awards. It was supposed to have been me and mom going, because one of the schools we did costumes for was nominated for…
