Before I start writing about the last half of my Dragon Con 2013 experiences, I forgot to mention one of the coolest parts of Friday evening. When I was talking with the trio about face casting, I noticed a Doctor Who-themed family, making some late-evening fixes to their Cassandra prop (which was absolutely fantastic). Most … Continue reading DragonCon 2013, Continued

The Great Southern Trek – aka Heading to DragonCon 2013
Wednesday This year's trip to Atlanta began with throwing my back out, as I had previously mentioned. Wednesday morning was filled with excruciating pain, assistance from a much loved and wonderful man, and trying to drive to work with as little jostling as possible. Not long into my workday, it became apparent that this wasn't … Continue reading The Great Southern Trek – aka Heading to DragonCon 2013
Holding Places
Hey folks! I'm back from Atlanta (I technically got back VERY early Tuesday morning), and have started the process to recovery from this year's convention.

I finished sewing all the little dragon claws while at work, but didn't get a chance to sew them onto the hands and feet for Toothless. Much of yesterday was spent … Continue reading Come Fly With Me
All Work and No Play
This week and weekend have been so busy! And not just with sewing and furiously trying to complete everything in time for Atlanta. As I mentioned before, I had been working on Toothless over at Robert's house most of last week - meaning I've seen little of my own house (and my cat) for the … Continue reading All Work and No Play
Feeling the Fear
The final two weeks before DragonCon are well underway. There's only one more weekend to go before the final week of pre-DragonCon craziness. Ideally, I would have had a completely clear weekend to finish all the work that has yet to be done on a particular dragon. That, sadly, will not be the case. A … Continue reading Feeling the Fear
