mama mia
Well here we are, it’s monday again. And it’s been another week of panicked flailing around for something to do to work on while dragoncon stares me down in the horizon. I spent pretty much all of last week doing little repairs on older costumes and what not. I fixed my broken Arwen necklace, finished sequining my Dorothy shoes (I…

hey remember how
remember how I called a post a couple of weeks ago “lost weekend”? Well I take that back. This was it. This was the lost weekend. Ugh! I was so excited to have a 3 day weekend and get a lot of costume work done. I ended up being so stuck that by Sunday I didn’t do ANYTHING. We ending…

you say the ocean’s rising
So I have been getting. stuff. done. So I had 4 costumes in mind for dcon this year. Let’s just go through the list. 1. Padme (and Bail) No progress here since last week on my end – still waiting on my fabric swatch for the pleated sections, and switched gears and ended up not experimenting with the applique stuff.…

the goblin universe
Yall it has been a CRAZY week. I’m still not fully recovered from Friday. What was Friday, you ask? Well let’s start at the beginning. I’ll do some bolded titles so you can skip past the long bits if you don’t want to read them. Enjoy some weird pics of Luna after I threw some money at her while I…

wake me up
Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it’s not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I’m still physically tired from disney. I’m finally over my…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place. Here’s my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 – I’ve only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we…

Dragoncon 2009 Recap
I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

Megacon & Photoshoot Pic Dump
I finally finished digging out the megacon pics Chase missed. Here’s the smugmug set. The new pics start at the little boy dressed as Link. I’m just going to post 2 of them, because they’re of Kevin. Here he is in his ebay jedi Luke costume again. I need to take it up and find him some better fitting boots.…

2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

Dragoncon 2008 – saturday!
Ok I’m going to stop talking so much about my costumes and what I want to change, since I’ll want to make a separate post about that later. But anyway – on to Saturday pics! Thank god for Ash! She came over to help us finish getting ready that morning – I was getting Starfire on for the very first…

MidSouthCon 2008 pics
Friday night – like I said we didn’t go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn’t fun going…

Belle pics and more Scarlet Witch updates
Last night I cut out my boot covers, hemmed my cape, and did a lot of dyeing. It took several rounds but I finally got the fabric about the right colour, I’m ok with it. Chase also finished the necklace and armbands for the Lake Dress last night — he was going to paint them at work today, so hopefully…

Scarlet Witch progress
I dyed my bodysuit last night – easy enough. I also dyed my gloves and the briefs to better match the cape material. I got the cape cut out and put together – I need to hem it and it’s finished. So I spent the better part of the night trying to decide what to do about the bodice. The…

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

Superhero thoughts
I asked Chase which should be my next superhero costume – I gave him a choice of 4 – Zatanna, comic-book Starfire (which I’ve wanted to do since doing the Cartoon Network version), Power Girl or Scarlet Witch. He didn’t like Power Girl, which I didn’t expect him to, he wasn’t too keen on Zatanna, either – he said Starfire…
