huntsville con report!

Hey look I actually titled a blog post what it's actually about. Yeah a couple of days late with this. Wanted to gather up all the pics first including the ones from Chase's camera. So Thursday I get off work and go to take a nap and as I lay down, I get an idea. And I have to go do the idea right then and there. I WAS going ...

its the dragoncon post

Ok let's get this thing over with! Wednesday morning we were up before the sun, headed over to Ash's house to pick her up. This was absolutely the tightest packing job we've ever had... That's my purple duffel bag shoved in sideways in the front, which resulted in my (somewhat pricey) makeup remover spilling everywhere. Thankfully I keep all spillables in a bag but i had to wash everything else ...

and we’re back

This morning was the first time my feet HAVEN'T hurt going up and down the stairs in our house, and I've regained feeling in the little toe on my left foot. Unexplained bruise, scrape on my ankle, and spots of eyeliner i still can't get off are still hanging around, along with a non-stop migraine I've had since before dragoncon. Anyway, this will not be my recap post -- I'll ...

so long 2019

and good riddance! This year has been a doozy. I'm ready to start 2020 on a good note. I did post last week but it was just my year in review, so I gotta dig back and see where I left off. Let's separate this one into chunks instead of going day by day. 1. SEWING! I'm starting with sewing even though this is my Christmas post, because, if you saw my ...

who totally forgot to post yesterday

I remembered late last night. I was like, oh today was Monday and I forgot to post on my blog. My schedule is all flipped upside down between the holiday and still adjusting to working from home. I have a ton of stuff to post so I'm going to break it up into sections. 1. SEWING! So after last week's post I got a little bit more done on the Raddus ...

Dragoncon 2019 Wrap-Up

It's my favourite post of the year! The post where I get to recap Dragoncon and post all my fav pics. So Wednesday I went into work early so I could leave early (2), which ended up not being necessary... I'd pretty much gotten everything packed Tuesday night and all I really had left was stuff like my toothbrush, medicine, etc. So I ended up just taking a nap til Ash ...

Dragoncon State of the Union: August Edition

I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday's post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I'm going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the wig. The only thing left to do is finish my tricorder, ...

weird & wacky

When you have so few pics for today's post that you don't even have a good one for a header... So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don't actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher - I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets set in for the communicator, ended up taking up the ...

more than a feeling

I don't have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they're not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for my boot covers/gloves came in on Wednesday ...

fre sh vac a do

So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of "finished"! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we'll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase's brother Scott is coming down to visit for a week (YAY)! Ok I initially typed out this giant block of ...
