    Princess Leia & Han Solo blasters!

    So, most of this time, this puppy is going to be displayed next to my MR Leia gun (don’t know how just yet) — and when it’s not looking pretty on my wall, it will hopefully be part of a future costume of Chase’s…. 😉 Don’t they look nice together?? LOL

    Christmas 2006 Haul

    So this weekend was very interesting. Me & Chase, and my three cousins Cath, Rach and David all went to Mema’s Thursday, and stayed with her until Christmas Eve, like we have since we were kids. Thursday was spent shopping, and we rented some movies to watch that night. Unfortunately I had brought my Xbox, not my Playstation, so we…

    Injuries, Pains, and other Annoyances

    I was thinking about the injuries and other odd things I’ve received while costuming, thought I would chronicle them! 1. Sperrets! I’ve had three costumes that have given me odd sperrets – the first was Yuffie. Wearing fishnets on one arm/hand and one leg led to some odd designs on my skin afterwards, mostly on my arm. My whole right…

    Lois updates…

    I’m slowing down work on my Lois dress – I don’t need it for what I needed it for, so I guess I’ll just finish it when I want and… I don’t know. It’s not really costume-y enough to wear to a con.

    when i redid my room

    So, I’m in the midst of re-organizing and redoing my room. For years my room has been primarily purple, black, and mess. Seriously, stuff crammed everywhere there was a spot. As part of my christmas, we’re redoing it… my main inspiration is this Jim Henson poster. Chase gave me that poster for my birthday, and my aunt had it framed…

    when i didn’t want a themed wedding

    I’m tired of everyone assuming that when I get married, it will be a Star Wars wedding. I don’t know why, I don’t want to be Padme or Leia or Arwen or Belle or whoever on my wedding day, I only want to be me, as silly as that sounds… next time I hear about me having a star wars…

    Art Post: Kit Fisto

    I’ve done a couple of these auction winners for the school my mom teaches at… this time around the winner chose Kit Fisto. I don’t just love it and the best photo I could get of it was laying it on the kitchen floor and standing on a chair over it. Bleh.

    when i refused to share

    This morning, the niece of one of my friends was at work, and she had a colouring book. So I sat down at coloured with her for a while, and I had a weird sort of flashback memory of a colouring book I’d had in 1st grade. Before I’d even ever started to school, I remember dad colouring a picture…

    Various Costume updates!

    Well I haven’t gotten much done lately – been working on the website, or some art stuff. I’ve got about four projects I’m working on currently– Ceremonial Leia v.2 – Since the pattern I bought back in August has apparently disappeared into the black hole that is my sewing room, I bought another one and got it cut out, and…

    when i caught the bouquet

    I had a really weird, vivid dream. A friend of mine was getting married, and had asked me to be a bridesmaid. It wasn’t Mel, Mel was there with me hanging out when this happened. The girl in question is more of an acquaintance. So I thought it was very nice that she asked me to be a bridesmaid. So…
