LOL I have apparently already had 10 other posts named "Blah." This is "blah 11." I am almost done with everything. Should be finished up this weekend... in fact everything is looking good enough that I'm switching my days off around. I'd originally put down I'd be off next Thursday and Friday (even though we aren't leaving til Friday). I'd planned to have that Thursday off to finish up last minute stuff, ...

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 Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...

GMX Pics: Part 2

Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor... Kevin really was out of his element in this costume - the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it - but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I think I may need to go a little shorter on ...

Hocus Pocus preview

So the only news of any import is that we did a Hocus Pocus photoshoot this past weekend. YAY! Haven't gotten them all yet but here's a preview. I'm really excited about the rest. We didn't do them all on the white backdrop, did some scenic photos too (...

Hocus Pocus Costumes In-Depth

I thought I'd go a little more in-depth on our Hocus Pocus costumes than I did on my construction page. I had a lot of fun making them and didn't get to share it here on my blog as much as I would have liked, since they were supposed to be a surprise! Firstly I started out by digging up some references and luckily for me they had been on ...

Birthday Stuff and Dcon 2012 Pics

I had a really great birthday! :) Chase got me this amazing Haunted Mansion sign: I've already put it up in the hallway and am now planning to turn the whole hallway into a Disney hallway LOL Speaking of which, Chase and I booked out Disneyworld anniversary trip last week. We won't be able to go on our actual anniversary, so we are just going as close as vacation schedules allow. ...

I did NOT dye: Mary's skirt Mary's bodice lining Winnie's darker purple skirt Winnie's sleeves Winnie's front purple piece Sarah's green "back" skirt That's it, everything ...
