White Backdrop To-Do (or To-Don’t)
Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here’s a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but…

im not sick but im not well
Another weird week. Didn’t go out for New Year’s – that’s not new, we haven’t gone out in years – but we also still didn’t have Christmas because half the family is still covid positive. My mom finally tested negative this morning. Last week we had Cath & family staying with us for a couple of days. We really need…

Wedding Leia photoshoot!
Ok here it is! I didn’t put these in my weekly post earlier today because it was already really long and I felt like these deserved their own dedicated post. Took these Sunday before last at my parents’ house. Same place we shot Ewok Leia back in 2007 — but for Ewok Leia we actually went into the woods and…

photoshoot – round 2
Oh hey so yeah I totally didn’t post last week. Monday was crazy busy I was like, I’ll just do it tomorrow and then I forgot. Not like I really had much to post about anyway. Outside of the photoshoot I have basically done nothing except play Star Wars Lego. Let’s start with the interesting stuff – photoshoot results! Hild…

photoshoot pics yay
Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my “real hair” costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn’t like the…

no resolutions
I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…

heathcliff, it’s me, i’m cathy
I’m losing my sanity. I keep trying to keep good and positive thoughts about the state of things and tell myself things will be back to normal in XX amount of time but it never happens. I feel like I’m staring into an abyss. All right now that I’ve got that out of my system let’s talk about what I…

this house has people in it
Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it’s Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let’s start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It’s going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week…

its my birthday too
I think I’m going to have to change my weekly post date. Mondays have become too hectic. I like to post Mondays because the most stuff happens over the weekend, so I remember most everything. But I think I’m going to have to start looking at Tuesday or something. But I’m here to try to get a quick post out…

ayyy yo
Sorry for no post last week. I really didn’t have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand… as of today I still don’t have much of anything to post. I’ve spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days.…

haha i like it but not a lot
… i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if…

Into the great wide open
I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are… over a week later. But I do actually have more content…

who totally forgot to post yesterday
I remembered late last night. I was like, oh today was Monday and I forgot to post on my blog. My schedule is all flipped upside down between the holiday and still adjusting to working from home. I have a ton of stuff to post so I’m going to break it up into sections. 1. SEWING! So after last week’s…

crazy train
I’m honestly very surprised I didn’t already have a blog post called “crazy train” considering how often we used to sing it at my old job. But I didn’t! This weekend was CHOCK FULL OF EVERYTHING! First up, let’s look at some sewing stuff. Last week I mostly focused on jedi Leia. My suede came in on tuesday so I…

Anne pics!!
I got my Anne pics uploaded last night!! OMG I love them. I already talked about our trials just getting the photos so I won’t get into that again. Let’s just get to the pictures. Have I mentioned how cold it was? OMG it was so cold that day. I also mentioned in the post link above how I messed…

Finding Tobey, more pics
Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers…

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…

Photoshoot Stuff!! Part One
Sorry I haven’t posted this week! It’s been busy! This past weekend we did the symphony event — which I’ll talk about the next post — and we’d originally planned to do this photoshoot before we left for the event Saturday night. But my tiara wasn’t quite ready Saturday, and there was yardwork that needed to be done before the…

That white backdrop tho
So a while back, I wrote a post about our white backdrop shoots, and… it has disappeared. I can find my “WHY” post, but not my “how” post. So, I’m posting a new one! For a quick recap, we started doing white backdrop photoshoots in 2009. I wanted to specifically recreate the Sally Jupiter “pin-up” art from Watchmen, and brought…

Edith Photoshoot
I’m really very happy with how the photos turned out! My aunt had one huge candle holder that would have been great… if it didn’t weigh like 20 lbs! I couldn’t it up. But the ones I could pick up looked nice too. This next picture is not my favourite – the flash didn’t go off correctly – but it’s…
