Sewing room + hogwarts robe
my office is back to being clean after finishing Kevin’s christmas present (outside of attaching the patch.) It went so quick! I’m really pleased with it. And then Chase hung a few things up in my office – the 2 Adam Hughes prints he got me for my birthday a few years ago, and my Mike Mayhew Ms Marvel sketch…

my workspaces over the years
I was cutting fabric on the floor of my office last night, and it got me thinking of my old workspace at my parent’s house (where I had a table to cut fabric). I thought I’d post them all. From 2001-2008 I worked out of the dining room at my parent’s house. I took it over! (sorry mom) I don’t…

Sewing Room updates
I worked on my office last night, mostly organizing my patterns. I had too many that were in large ziplock baggies so I spent the evening squishing pattern pieces into my usual smaller baggies. Then I put them all away in my new bench! They didn’t all fit, though 🙁 But I got the majority of them in there. They…

pattern frustration
First step to cleaning up my office is getting control of my massive pattern collection. I just don’t have room to keep them in the plastic bins they’re in, it’s taking up too much room – I need to find a more space-saving option. I could possibly fit a small file cabinet or similar under one of my desks –…

Sewing Room Sketch
So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things – I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff…

Alyss ruffles
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what’s left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night – added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT…

The Costume Closet is Finished
I know folks are probably tired of hearing about my stupid closet, but it’s finally finished! So I’m going to go over it once more 🙂 So a question I get asked a lot is “Where do you keep all of your costumes?” When I lived with my parents, the question was pretty easy to answer – we had converted…

365 Project – Padme Funeral Gown + Closet progress
Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can’t find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I’m back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do – haven’t seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and…

moo cards!
My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons – not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out – but hopefully I’ll remember them at dcon this year. I put…

More Closet work, and Boushh art
So yesterday when I got home I cleared out the closet in the prop room and started moving my boxes in. Right now I’ve just got index cards taped to the outside until I get the rest of my moo cards in (hopefully they’ll be here tomorrow.) I need to unpack about 2 more big bins, and everything is pretty…

Organizing my Costume Closet
first, today’s princess, Padme again 🙂 Last night I really dug in and got all of the costumes I have here right now into boxes. It’s a mess! But it’s mostly done. I need to go get a few more bins of stuff from my parent’s house tomorrow, I reckon I’ve got about 20 costumes not currently in a new…

Tackling the Costume Closet
So I’ve finally dug in and really started my costume re-organization project. To recap – When I lived at my parents house, we converted a half bath into a walk-in closet once they outgrew my room. (And, I swear I used to have a picture of it where it didn’t look like crap. Like one of what it looked like…

Cleaning my office, costume schedules
I’m off work today – going to NYC today! Flight’s not til this afternoon – still got a few errands to run, etc. Anyway. I got my office cleaned up and made work-able again. I got some little baskets for my cabinet, so I can eventually organize stuff in there. I also got that new stool – it’s much more…

GMX Plans & my Sewing Room
so saturday morning we are driving up to nashville for gmx…. I’m pretty excited about it, but my costume list is still up in the air. We FINALLY got to move into our house this past sunday, and everything is still chaotic… I have no idea where most anything is! I do know where my stuff from dragoncon is. I’m…

the workroom – 10/30
Here’s some more progress on the prop room. We finally got the other shelves up, and unpacked a few more things. The boxes migrated. We’re going to be working on it some more tonight, to try to get it passable for having company over this weekend.

Working on the living space
Our extra bedroom – AKA the workroom – has basically been nothing but a giant maze of boxes and bins since we moved. Now that Dragoncon is over and we’ve basically settled back down into a more normal routine, we’ve really started tackling the workroom over the past week. These pics are from yesterday. I really wish I’d taken “before”…

the workroom
I wish I’d taken pictures of it as it’s looked for the last couple of months. Basically since we’ve moved, this room has been a room of boxes. I’ve gone through a few things – unpacked most of my costumes and put them away in the closet, trying to make room. We cleared a space for our shelves, but that’s…

OCD wonderland (aka my Costume Closet)
Spent a while unpacking stuff and hanging costumes up, again. I’m having way too much fun hanging up all my costumes again, getting everything organized. I love it! Here’s a sneak peek of how it’s going. The left side is the Star Wars side. As you can see, right inside the door on that side are some shelves, where I’ve…
