Cleaning my office, costume schedules

I’m off work today – going to NYC today! Flight’s not til this afternoon – still got a few errands to run, etc.

Anyway. I got my office cleaned up and made work-able again.

I got some little baskets for my cabinet, so I can eventually organize stuff in there. I also got that new stool – it’s much more comfortable than the plain black office chair I had before, it’s the perfect height for sewing at my desk, and the top lifts off so yay, more storage!

I found my curtains for the room while cleaning but I haven’t found the curtain rod yet. I may go buy a new one, since I really want those curtains up. The light stays pretty constant from the window, but I think it would help keep my office warmer.

I’ve had these black shelves since I was a teenager- Chase is going to repaint this one for me so it matches the rest of my office.

and finally, I got some little jars for my beads sequins and things:

I need a few more – I didn’t have enough. These will eventually go on the shelves.

I’m looking for a little chaise lounge… I haven’t found one I like yet… or at least I haven’t found one I like that’s affordable LOL

I pulled out Bespin Leia the other day. I repinned everything, and then decided I don’t like y fabric anymore LOL I’m going to buy new fabric for it before I go farther.

We got our plane tickets for Anaheim. I’m super excited!
I tried to come up with a schedule for this year.

MidSouthCon:
Finish the latest Wonder Woman (finish/repaint the gold pieces)
Also will wear Snow White, if I need a 3rd, Padme Snowbunny.

Anaheim Comic Con:
Batgirl, and one surprise 🙂
Also taking Black Canary, Sleeping Beauty (with the new wig), and Ewok Village Leia (to match Kevin’s Luke)

And after that… a big summer of nothing. We’re not going to do a summer con this year – so it means I’ve got a good long time to work on Dcon costumes.

Dragoncon:
1. Bespin Leia… I hope. I doubt I’ll actually finish this for it, but I’m going to at least AIM for it so I can get as much work done on it as possible. I do better when I have a goal 🙂
2. Magik (New Mutants)
3. Ame-Comi Black Canary
4. Ms Marvel
5. Lady Gaga (haven’t decided which)
6. I’d like one other “small” thing but haven’t figured out what, yet. I’d like it to be non-superhero, but I’m at a loss.
7. Either Marie Antoinette, another Tudor gown, or remake my Belle ballgown – just 1 of those, I haven’t decided which. Belle has obviously been on my list for years, Marie Antoinette I’ve been dieing to make, and I’d love to make another Tudor gown, after learning what I learned from the first one. I’ll just have to play it by ear and see what I feel like working on – or depending on what fabric I can find.

Halloween:
One of the above three I didn’t get to make for Dragoncon LOL

GMX:
I hope they do this again – it was nice to spend a weekend w/Nashville folks (I miss Nashville.) I don’t think I’ll be able to make anything new, so it’ll probably all be re-wearing from earlier stuff.

anything else I had on my to-do list might sneak in there if something else falls through. It all depends on how I feel when I get to working on it…
