Padme Lake Dress?
Yes, twice!:

Bespin Leia?
Nope. Bought the materials, haven’t touched them.

Finish Yuuko?
Somewhat – attached the sleeves, never finished the appliques.

Padme’s Funeral Dress?
No – didnt find materials I liked until recently.

Wonder Woman?
No – started on it, but decided to put it on hold until 2007.

The Bride?
Nope, lost interest.

White Witch?
Nope, ran out of time, plus saw it done several times really well, so sort-of lost interest in that aspect.

Dorothy?
Yes:

And just to keep it all together, here’s my wishlist for 2007 again:
1. Finish Ceremonial Leia v.2
I’ve had the pieces cut out and some of them put together for a couple of months now, I just need to buckle down and finish it.

2. Funeral Padme
I asked for the last of the fabric I need as a christmas present!

3. Belle’s Winter dress
I had wanted this to do a photoshoot in Nashville, but now I’m never in Nashville anymore, but since I bought the fabric I’m still going to make it. Probably later next year.

4. Finish Padme’s Nightgown
Been “almost done” since October. Just need to get on it and finish it!

5. Leia’s Bespin dress
At least get started on it.

6. Wonder Woman – Screaming Chicken
Chase has been working on the new helmet for a while now, I’d love to have it done for Metropoliscon, if not, MidSouthCon…

7. Wonder Woman regular outfit
I’ve been promising a friend of mine I would do this… she’s been waiting two years…

8. Amidala red senate
Might put it off until late next year.

9. Utena remake
For MTAC

10. Fix up starfire’s collar for good
For MTAC

11. Start on Boushh
I plan on it being a slow project

12. Bastila
Another slow project… not in any hurry to finish this

13. fix up Beast’s jacket/shoulders/shirt
Chase wants to fix parts of the head. Get him in better wearing condition for next year.

14. Sarah from Labyrinth
I’ve been keeping my eye for fabric, though not seriously. I’d love to have this for Dcon next year.

15. Marasiah Fel
Blah blah

16. Remake Belle’s blue dress
Maybe for Halloween?

17. Anna Valerious blue outfit
This is totally just a wish… LOL it’ll probably be on my 2008 wish list as well!

A sort-of schedule?
Shadowcon – Ceremonial Leia

ChattaCon (tentative) – Padme nightgown?

Timothy Zahn Book Signing – nothing new

Metropolis Con – Wonder Woman (regular)

Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day Parade – nothing new

MidSouthCon – Wonder Woman (SC), Marasiah or Bastila?
MTAC – Utena, Starfire w.new collar, Belle’s winter dress?

Wonderfest – Marasiah or Bastila?

Celebration Europe (very tentative) – nothing new???

Dragoncon – Sarah

Halloween – Blue Belle v.2

I guess now is a good time to say we’re definitely not going to Comic Con 2007, and 99% sure we’re not going to Celebration 4. We’re looking at going to Celebration Europe, hopefully that will work out.
