DragonCon Countdown: 24 days! Ok while not really DragonCon related, I used the honeybee fabric that I bought from Spoonflower to make a shirt for my Metro Atlanta Beekeeping meeting on Wednesday. With the colors I chose, it is also something White and Gold I can wear on game days for Georgia Tech! Only issue […]
Working on Claire Dearing’s Outfit
DragonCon Countdown: 25 days!! While on vacation this weekend, I spent some time watching Jurassic World while prepping meals. I still love the original Jurassic Park best, but love the new movie and the music for it! Definitely one of my favorite soundtracks. I found the skirt, blouse and tank top for Claire Dearing’s outfit […]
An Ode to my Seam Ripper
DragonCon Countdown: 28 days! Seam Ripper, dear Seam Ripper, I would be lost without you. I would have no clothing without you. I would also not learn to sew without you. You allow me to make all the mistakes I want and still be able to undo them. Sometimes I feel like I spend more […]
Olivia and Juliet’s Princess Dresses
DragonCon Countdown: 29 days! Juliet in the original design I’m passing on my love of all things nerdy and Disney to my girls and have been spending so much time making clothing for myself, I figured I could pause and make some clothing for the girls as well 🙂 My mother-in-law gave me an adorable […]
The new Fabric’s Here, The new Fabric’s here! I’m Somebody Now!!
DragonCon Countdown: 30 days!! So I’ve been dreaming/scheming for months about new clothing.

Scarlet Witch Semi-Final Touches: Necklace and Nails!
DragonCon Countdown: 35 days!! I am a craft supply hoarder. I can not seem to get rid of craft supplies from projects and hobbies long forgotten, but sometimes that comes in handy! I still own clay supplies and necklace supplies, so I was able to make the necklace that Scarlet Witch wears. I mixed together […]
Makeup for Scarlet Witch
Makeup is definitely not something I have much experience with. In general, my routine involves eyeliner, blush and lipstick. So if anyone has suggestions different from what I’ve tried, I would definitely love hear it!! So I spent lots of time on Youtube trying to get this look. I researched how to do a smoky eye, […]
Making Scarlet Witch’s Gloves
No DragonCon prep for me would be complete without a trip to Eddie’s Trick Shop. I went to the warehouse the other day while the girls were napping, so I’ll definitely have to make the trip back when they are awake. Olivia loves it there, I usually have to talk her out of buying 10 […]
