2020 wrap-up
I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn’t think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I’m angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did…

merry christmas
Do I already have a christmas tree up? Why yes, yes I do. It’s officially Christmas time in our house. First up – here’s the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a…

good morning to everyone except covid-19
I had a dragoncon dream last night. It was dragoncon 2021 and I was so relieved they still had the convention despite coronavirus. And then I woke up sad. Chase and I took Friday off work and went to early vote. I feel like I’m the only person on social media without a cute mask. I’ve made a couple of…

i have things
For the first time in a few weeks I actually have things to post! WOW First let’s talk about the pet dramas. My parents rented a cabin and went on a short vacation last week. So Skye came over and stayed with us. It was nice to have company in my work office all day, since Luna won’t ever come…

it’s another post with no content
Hey look it’s Monday again and again I have nothing of interest to post today. I had wanted to finish up Sleeping Beauty this weekend. I did not. My eyelets for the bodice were supposed to arrive Friday and they didn’t. They show delivered but they’re not. And amazon won’t let me report it until tomorrow because they seem to…

hooked on a feeling
Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I’ll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I’ll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the…

a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it
Like seriously I don’t have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend… I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn’t get to do that because… oh wait. Did I ever mention…

looks like somebody has a case of the mondays
Good grief I can’t remember what I posted last week except that sad dog, I’m going to have to go back and look to see where I left off…. Ok. Now I’m on track. Last week I said I was going to dye that silk on thursday well I did it Monday night. I put both my excess fabric (meant…

Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

Oops: Updates & a Sleeping Beauty GIF
Sorry no new updates. I know I promised pics but haven’t gotten around to it! I’m almost done with Wasp, hopefully finishing up her dress tonight, and bought my wig tonight. I’ll take some progress pics tonight. I cut out Belle’s bodice last night, putting it together today. Made the mockup for my cousin’s costume and it actually fit right…

Photoshoot pics + puzzle!
I put Donna Troy & Sleeping Beauty up today: I’m a little annoyed that people are IGNORING my puzzle pics on flickr, and instead looking at and commenting on stupid costume pics! So here, LOOK at my puzzle pics!!!!!!! Man I can’t believe people aren’t going crazy over these puzzle pics. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband,…

sleeping beauty wig
I finally broke down and bought a new wig for Sleeping Beauty. I’m really happy with the colour. I wanted something much more golden than the sort of colour-less blonde I got last time. I haven’t done anything with it yet, I’m going to curl up the bangs. I wanted some opinions… I think i might sew some extra wefts…

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…

Halloween 2008 Photos!!
So Friday, I decided not to wear Poison Ivy to work, for the main reason I couldn’t lace it up by myself! I pulled out Hermione instead. So instead of matching Kevin as the Joker I matched Ash, who wore her Slytherin robes. Got to work and very quickly did Kevin’s hair and makeup and had him put the vest…
