Sally Jupiter updates
I got the rings sewn in place on the front of the cincher, that took up the bulk of yesterday because I’m so slow at hand-sewing (meaning I sew a little bit, get distracted, sew a little bit, get distracted…). I got the buttons sewn on the gloves and the dress attached to the collar. Tonight once I get home…

Valentines!
So Valentine’s Day was really nice… Chase surprised me with a Beatles DVD and a toy set of two unicorns (Good Unicorn vs Evil Unicorn lol). Then we went to the Tower Room, a restaurant I didn’t even know was there… it’s on the 33rd floor of Clark Tower, and it was really cool watching the sunset from way up…

Sally Jupiter progress, and Aurora pics
sorry I haven’t posted much!! been busy 😉 The new waist cincher… putting the rings in the front tonight. I’m hoping to finish it off tonight. Once I do I can put it on and get the hem of the “dress” part marked and cut off and finished, that’ll be this weekend. I need to finish off the top edge…

Sally Jupiter progress pics
I got the Belle dress basically put together. Tonight I hope to finish off most of the blue part and maaaybe start on the shirt. I finished the waist cincher, outside of putting in the eyelets up the front. I’m going to ask Chase to do that for me tonight, I hate putting in eyelets. Once that’s done I can…

Sally Jupiter updates
So had a long sewing day yesterday, only to basically end up back where I started. I decided to remake the Silk Spectre waist cincher – I’m much happier with the new one but it took all day. I ran out of black thread at the end so didn’t get it completely finished. Oh here’s my boots! A couple of…

Ash (on the left) and me outside of Nook’s. Us meeting Kevin for the first time. Like my gas mask? My…

That’s really the only thing costume related I got, outside of a fabric store gift card. I have gotten a start on Silk Spectre I. I’ve the chiffon…

2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

Hockey Game Star Wars Troop!
We spent the night at my grandparents friday night to cut an hour off our drive time saturday morning, that was super nice. So Saturday morning we got on up and headed to Nashville. We stopped by the costume store up there and picked up a different kind of bald cap than the kind I’d gotten, it was supposed to…

blurb = FAIL
So. I made & ordered four photo books through blurb.com as christmas presents. All wedding photos, nice hardback coffee table books for my parents and grandparents. I had it shipped to my parents’ house, as I always do (less chance of someone walking off with it than at our house). I warned my mother not to open it when it…

Ahsoka Pic!
just barely finished it, was still working on it in the hotel room and was an hour late to the arena. But it was so much fun to wear!

we’re heading east in just a few minutes… everything is still not done… Chase will be working on it some more tonight. I’m trusting that we’ll get everything done and at least wearable for tomorrow – I’m not taking a backup costume. wish me luck I guess :B

Ahsoka and Sally updates
First up, last weekend’s Make-a-Wish thing was fun. We got lost on the way there when the GPS told us to take a road that didn’t exist. But the mall it was at was really nice, and I think they raised a good bit of money. I haven’t heard, and I haven’t seen any pics yet – we didn’t take…

Ornaments and Hair!
Chase and I bought our first two Christmas ornaments together – Wall-e and Beauty and the Beast 🙂 I won’t be doing Leia at events for a while – I was tired of my hair and told Frankie to do whatever he wanted to it, so he dyed it purple yesterday. It eventually fade to a deep, deep burgundy once…

Costume Plans
I didn’t work on anything tonight – I’m fighting off a headache, I really do not want to still have my head aching Saturday at the Make-a-Wish thing. But! I had to post because we got our Megacon flights booked today. I’m SUPER excited, I’ve heard good things about the con and it’s been forever since we’ve gone to a…

Ahsoka and Belle updates
I got my fabric for Ahsoka yesterday, finally, and ripped my mockups up and got the skirt basically put together, but around that time realised I didn’t have any kind of matching thread so couldn’t do any top-stitching or finishing on it. I forgot to go get thread today, too. So tonight I cleaned my Belle dress. The back of…

Halloween 2008 Photos!!
So Friday, I decided not to wear Poison Ivy to work, for the main reason I couldn’t lace it up by myself! I pulled out Hermione instead. So instead of matching Kevin as the Joker I matched Ash, who wore her Slytherin robes. Got to work and very quickly did Kevin’s hair and makeup and had him put the vest…
