    Momocon thoughts

    I still can’t completely decide what to take to Momocon. So thinking “outloud” here. I’m definitely taking Meg, since it’s new and I should have it done in the next couple of weeks. I don’t think I’ll have time to also finish Johanna. It’s was planned for Dragoncon anyhow so no big deal. I was planning on taking Belle –…

    Stuff I’m thinking about wearing to MidSouthCon

    We’re only going up on Saturday so I’m only wearing one (maybe 2, if it’s easy to change in the car) costume… I’m thinking about: 1. Donna Noble – because I’m lazy and this is the easiest costume to wear. 2. Valkyrie – might be cold. 3. Emma Frost – might be cold. 4. Marie Antoinette – i want to…

    YES

    I gave my two weeks notice yesterday. Starting my new job Oct 15. Not going to say much more about it right now. Just I’m super super excited. It’s a little paycut and I won’t have as much PTO (I’ve been at my old job for 11 years. I had a butt-ton of PTO) so it’s a completely new start,…

Romana I Donna Runaway Bride Glimmer Trillian Belle Batgirl and maaaaybe Fionna because I was thinking of making a Finn costume for Kevin, but I’m probably going to remake his Link tunic instead.…

    Updated: Dragoncon 2013 Schedule

    All right! We leave for DragonCon in a week, so here’s my final costume list, and a semi-schedule. (Sorry, the image that was originally here was lost in a server move. I replaced it with an older one that doesn’t quite match up but still kinda works.) Wednesday night: Batgirl – private photoshoot Thursday: Early evening – Romana I for…

    Dragoncon Thinking

    Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I’m only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I’ve got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I’ll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it’s just budgeting factors.)…

    What should I take to GMX?

    I really have no idea what to take with me to GMX. I’m definitely taking Wasp, because I’m finishing the wings, and Marie Antoinette TARDIS to go with my cousin’s 11th Doctor costume. Thinking about taking Anne Boleyn too. Otherwise, I’m thinking about: Time Lord Donna Noble Batgirl Emma Frost Jane (Tarzan) beyond that nothing is really saying “WEAR ME!”…

    MidSouthCon Costume Thoughts

    Last night – or rather, early this morning – Indy woke us up barking at 4AM. She never does that, and it freaked me out. It wasn’t her “Hey! Stranger!” bark, it was her “bored” bark, which was weird. All I can think is that she was dreaming. Ok, so I’m thinking about what to take to MidSouthCon with me.…

    With Seattle behind me, I’m planning for MidSouthCon at the end of the month now. I’ve been steady working on my new costume for it – I feel like I’m right on track to get it done in time. I’m pretty excited about it. Chase is doing quite a bit of it for me, and I’m excited to see the…

April projects: Lady Blackhawk: all sewing. Donna: piece-mealed, will probably make the jacket. (I’m hoping to actually start on these in March and move everything up a bit.) May projects: Marie Antoinette: just starting on…

    working on next year’s costume list

    I’ve printed off pics of all the costumes I’d like to do next year, to try to narrow down the choices. I’ve got it down to 13, and I intend to pare it down to 10. So far I’ve got – (and yes I’m being secretive until I’ve decided for sure) Rogue #1 Rogue #2 Wonder Woman-based character Disney character…

    GMX 2010 Plans, Wonder Woman art

Sorry ! 🙁 ) The shirt version is black and white, with a pink bodice, and pink ribbons on her gauntlets. So I finally packed for GMX – I got Jane,…

    Thinking about costumes for next year..

    Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the “season” for me – I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here’s my thoughts for next year… Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX – but I’m going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last…
