Spent all day running… and Padme art

Got up this morning and went to the mall. Then to Target. Then to Best Buy. Then to Hastings (comics!). Then to Lowe's. Then back home for a few - then to the airport to drop Tom off. Then to Hancock's (bought Lady Gaga fabric, new thread holder, yay memorial day coupons). Then to Lowe's (again). Then to... the zoo. Chase rented a ginormous lens for his camera so he ...

Redbirds Troop pics

Last night we did Star Wars night at the Memphis Redbirds' baseball game. It was a lot of fun - more than I expected! We took pics with guests and Darth Vader threw out the opening pitch. We set up right in the middle of the opening area of the park - we posed for about an hour before heading in for the game. I got a lot of hugs ...

Padme nightgown art & Crazy Emails

Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past - always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I'd been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails with a bunch of pictures of household furniture and stuff... ...

Bruises, Randomness, Art

Things have been busy. My great-great aunt Louise died earlier this week. She was 95. Her husband, my great-great uncle died in 1964 so I never knew him. The graveside service was interesting. It was pouring rain and we were huddled under a leaking tent, but the minister who spoke was straight out of a movie, an old-fashioned country minister, with a great voice and calling us "ya'll." So I have a ...

I had to hurry to get this one finished to post it today, so I'll post a little more chit chat tomorrow... now I'm going to bed :P Jaina Solo Tomorrow is Star Wars in Concert so I won't have any pic to post tomorrow - but I'll make a post hopefully about it when we get home :)

Padme Funeral art & Closet progress

Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can't find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I'm back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do - haven't seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and small costumes like Lum that I'm not worried about - probably ...

71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs

Did a quick count off the top of my head, and that's what I came up with. 71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs. Stupid shoes. Stupid wigs. Having issues with fitting everything right now. Or, rather, finding places for everything. Really it's not so much MY costumes. All of mine would fit just fine in that closet with no issues. It's Chase's costumes that take up multiple large bins, Kevin's multiple costumes, ...

So let me post today's princess in the meantime, Mara Jade as Arica. this one was not just drawing for fun but reference as well, I'm going to be making this costume in the next couple of months, so drawing this was helpful :)

moo cards!

My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons - not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out - but hopefully I'll remember them at dcon this year. I put as many of them on as I could last night, and was ...
