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…

it’s the 2024 costume wrap-up post
Finally! Ok as usual let’s start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did: 1. Honeymoon Leia – YES! This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023. 2. Star Wars Cruise Dress – YES! Turned out so…

oops
Didn’t post last week! Monday ended up being really busy. So let me try to remember everything from the last 2 weeks. This is why I try not to skip weeks LOL Friday night 2 weeks ago at 1am Chase was having a pain in his midsection and ended up doing a teledoc appt and the teledoc told him to…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

make the friendship bracelets
Whelp here we are about a week out and I am NOT DONE and not even the SLIGHTEST bit packed. Normally this point I’ve already packed the stuff that’s done/older costumes but I haven’t even gotten my bin out of the attic yet. I can’t even get excited about con because I’m still in panic mode. I spent 3 days…

Sooo that was an interesting weekend. First let’s go through Friday’s to-do list and see what I got done: 1. Finish T’Lyn wig 2. Paint her ears to better match my skin tone, I tried them on and they are not a match. 3. Try on Taylor wig, cut bangs if needed? 4. Finish tacking the lining on the Taylor…

its the final countdown
It’s now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we’d have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what’d I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don’t know,…

life was a willow
Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I’m officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon…

is somebody gonna match my freak
I’ve been trying to catch her in this pose and set the Huttslayer figure in front of her for ages. Finally got it. Not a lot to report on this week. The soft lavender and pale blue are making me wish I’d committed to doing only pastel costumes for dragoncon LOL Walker stayed over Friday, she watched the Eras livestream…

you’re a loony
Oh my gosh I have a ton to post today. So let’s start at the beginning. Tuesday we took Kevin to see Inside Out 2. He did his best Mr Bean impression while wearing a tiny hat at Huey’s. And then he posed with Wolvy and Deadpool. We wanted to take a group picture with this after the movie but…

heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another
Well here we are on another Monday. So here was my Padme to-do list last week, with updates: 1. Hem skirt – done! 2. Finish pleated front panel/attach – half done. I got it re-gathered and ready to go but wanted to wait til my beads arrived to make sure the two things together are sized correctly. 3. Do tacks…

the struggle is real
Here we are again on another Monday morning. Today has been a very monday monday already. Feeling better about Padme. Got a bunch done this weekend. I think I’ve said about 5 times now that the top is done, but everytime I put it on, I find another place that needs tacked. It’s currently sitting with about 3 pins in…

say once again with feeling
This Padme costume is about to be my 13th reason. The fabric is just SOOO thin that anytime I have to unpick something it either damages the fabric or I accidentally cut a hole in it. Trying to get everything to line up correctly and looking ok at the neckline has been the majority of my weekend. I guess let’s…

puppies & sewing
I have a lot of puppy content. Let’s get to it. Walker stayed with us last Monday from around 8 in the morning to about 3 the next day. My parents were out of town for a concert and she’s too little to stay at doggie daycare yet like Skye did. She slept most of the day Monday and Tuesday,…

sing a new song chiquitita
Not a ton to talk about this week. Actually I think the thing I have the most to say about is sewing progress! For the first time in a while. SO. I had gotten that fabric to use as lining for the top and the skirt. I got the skirt pieces cut out – it’s basically a miniskirt – got…

good luck babe
Well I don’t have as much progress to show today as I would’ve liked, but I did cross a big hurdle with my Padme build. But before I get into all that, let’s do a puppy pic dump. Friday my parents had to go up to help my granddad with some stuff, and Skye went to doggy daycare for the…

you look like stevie nicks
Ok before I get into anything else… I’ve got puppy fever. My parents’ new baby, Walker! Of course her big sister is Skye, so together they are Skye Walker – and Walker came on on May the 4th 🙂 Skye is Walker’s aunt, I think they said. omg I get to babysit one day soon 😀 Stole Skye’s bed LOL…

get it off my desk
So I had big plans of trying to do a start to finish mockup of Padme this weekend. I had 10 new yards of fabric, I was going to cut out all of my pattern pieces, assemble everything, make edits (hopefully small) and then be ready for my real fabric this week. Of course I knew that was shooting for…

the tortured kevins department
Hello, I don’t even know why I’m posting today because I have nothing of importance to share. The only sewing update I have is that I got the pieces I’ve “finished” transferred to paper. I played around the lining layer and ended up adding an extra seam to help it fit better (since that layer won’t be seen anyway). I…
