Well more like 2 days late but at least I made it over here to post. Not a lot to talk about this week but I do at least have new photoshoot pics to share. Last shoot was my 3 retro style dresses plus Pirate Ariel. Like I literally do not care that this is made of parts of other costumes and stuff I bought, I think it's so cute. The Star ...
Wow! After weeks of nothing much to post about, I finally have a decent amount of stuff to post about! First here's a couple of Chase's pics of my Wanda at Zooboo last weekend. And my parents! Monday I got something in the mail I'd been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I got #15 out of 100. It's gorgeous! It lights up! Ahhhh! I ...
I'm not 100% done... still have one very important thing to finish and one thing i want to do if I have time... but I have finished the dress and the bags and the magnets and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So of course I sewed alllll last week. I was honestly feeling a bit frantic. Here's the top as of last Tuesday. I decided ...
Well I am back on track but really feeling the time crunch. My fabric and interfacing all finally came in and I dug into the bag project. These took longer than I thought; it took about an hour and half each purse just to sew them into the frames -- mostly because I had so much trouble getting the needle back up through the hole from the wrong side so ...
Well I didn't expect last Monday's snow to completely wreck my entire week of sewing, but it did. I was expecting 2 shipments of interfacing - 1 of a lighter weight for the bags and 1 of a medium weight for the Star Wars dress. And as I mentioned in last week's post, I ordered a couple more yards of the Star Wars fabric and hallelujah they shipped right away and were supposed ...
I just realized I didn't post last week. I don't think I had anything to say LOL Not much has been going on. The head cold I had over New Year's came BACK with another round of stuffy nose and drainage. Bleh. It started snowing yesterday and hasn't stopped! This morning: And the amazing part... no ice! I can't remember the last time we got snow with no ice to ...
All rightie it's that time of the year when we compare last year's to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here's what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023... 1. Finish Wedding Leia -- YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia -- YES! I have been saying I was going to do this for a few years and I can finally mark it off now. 3. ...
It finally got a little chilly here. Went outside yesterday morning to get some catgrass for Luna and it was COLD! I'm normally a summer girlie but I'm ready to wear my hoodies. (I'll be ready for summer again by december LOL) Let's start with sewing updates -- I started on my Stevie top. I thought I'd get this in one go, because I based it on my duct tape ...
It's finally FALL YALL I finished getting the inside mostly decorated. I still have a few more lights to put up and I plan to put one of my dressforms in the front window in a spooky costume again. Thinking about using my Edith costume with my Donna Noble runaway bride veil for a spooky bride look? Gonna wrap the form in blue lights. Outside is partially decorated too... Put ...
Saturday I said goodbye to my old Honda Fit... And said "HELLO!" to my brand new mini cooper! OH MY GOD it's so cute I can't stand it. I'm currently sitting with naming it Agent Dale Cooper and calling it "Coop." I did also test drive the larger countryman version, and it drove pretty much the same, but at the end of the day I liked the look of this ...
