    what is going on in here on this day

    Oh my god I’m back again with my 25th dragon con recap. It’s been over a week so I’m probably going to struggle to remember everything at this point LOL Also work has been full on NUTS since I came back and I hate it. Monday last week we both worked half days and hit the road around 1. Everything…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    2023 Costume Wrap-Up

    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…

    Dragoncon 2023 – the costume recap

    Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a…

    Dragoncon 2023 – the general recap

    Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn’t come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don’t feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let’s recap it all…. I can’t remember if I posted our badge…

    one week remains

    Well not quite but it’s close enough. I’m in good shape. Here’s a random pic I took of the jedi Leia tunic last week just for IG. No updates here. Got a new button cover kit last week, so I replaced Padme’s cuff buttons for a 3rd time. Please I never want to do this again. Luna supervised. Finished all…

    all work and no play

    I feel like I didn’t get much done last week, but then I look back at where I was last week and realize… I did get a lot done. I finished up Bail. I didn’t like the trim I bought for the neckline, so I made some out of leftover Vader pleather. Also added some elastic loops to the bottom…

    Yes, we took Saturday off costume work and did a double feature. We started with breakfast at the Liquor Store: Then off to see Oppenheimer on the imax: Chase got a leg cramp right as they were starting the Trinity test. He had to awkwardly try to get out of the aisle, then was stuck standing in the hall for…

    the truth is out there

    Did I mention before I’m doing an X-Files rewatch? I was going to watch all of Voyager after finishing TOS, but instead I got sucked into one of my OG fandoms. Fond memories of scouring the 90s internet for X-Files fanfics… Oh and did I mention I’m doing a Scully costume for Dragoncon? LOL Just a cheap quick thing. Using…
