when i couldn’t tell if spiders
OOOOOOOOH! Now I remember what I was going to say! So this afternoon, I was working hard on stuff. I had been cutting and shaving foam rubber for a long time, and it was everywhere, and I felt yucky. So I went to take a shower. So I get in the shower, turn it on, and notice someTHINGS floating in…

when i got a lot done because the internet was down
The internet has been down most of the day, so I’ve gotten a lot done costume-wise today. Yay.

when i found random photos
I finally put batteries in the little camera yesterday, to take a pic of my finished Belle costume, and I found some old pics on the memory card I don’t think I ever took off. Indy asleep!! Awwww. My Amidala petal cape in progress – I was pinning them on here! At this point I thought I had enough, but…

Two more weeks… Cinderella and Stitch updates
Due to the internet being down today, plus actually feeling pretty well for the first time in a few days, I managed to get a bit done today. On Ash’s costume, I got quite a bit done. I redid one part of it to look much better, and finished one of the major pieces. I had been putting that particular…

Finished Belle! Preview Pic
Finished it!! Well, except for the yellow hairband, and I didn’t have my hair fixed (I just threw it up like this), but here it is… I’m very pleased with it! Cinderella is getting there, too… I still need to hem the skirt, hem the corset, put the boning in, put the grommets in, and do the silver parts on…

Snow White and Cinderella Progress Pics
Haven’t gotten much done the past couple of days. Right now, I’ve got the dressform w/Belle on it sitting in the living room and the puppy is running like a crazy person in circles around it. Hee. I’ve packed a bit the past few days, finally got stuff out from San Diego and moved it to new boxes, haha. Mostly…

Belle progress…
Hee!! I’ll be finished with Belle tomorrow. I finished the bodice today, all hemmed, got the grommets in, and all. I’ve still got to do the shoulder pieces and put the jewels on but neither should take long. Yay 😀 Also made more good progress with Ash’s costume, I’m very pleased with how it’s coming out. Those two things are…

Man
Aw man. The 501st photoshoot at Dragoncon is set for 2pm! Instead of in the morning! Which means I can’t do it. It’s smack in the middle of the day. I was planning on putting on Mara in the morning for the photoshoot, and then switching to Starfire until the masquerade, since wearing Star requires time to put on/take off…

Fabric Shopping… Princesses, Rebel Leia, etc
Today’s fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley’s fabric. I’m not using what I got the other day, I don’t like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome – the two colours they didn’t have at…

Beading the Organza
I finished beading the organza last night (“Beading the organza”… sounds like a euphemism, haha) and finished part of the bodice. I hope to have Belle done this weekend, along with completely finishing Cinderella and Snow White’s skirts, and getting a start on their bodices. I reckon I’ll have all three finished by next weekend. Hopefully. Also got a start…

when we found toys in the trash
I forgot to mention this yesterday! C, Kevin and I were taking trash out at work yesterday. C and I were up on the back dock getting it all in order and Kevin was outside, pulling it off the dock and putting it in our dumpster. Kevin said “There’s an elbow in here!” And C and I freaked out a…

Random thoughts
#1! Our Rebel Legion base split – Freedom Base is now just the upper states (VA, NC, SC, DC) which meant our area (TN, KY, AL and MS) needed a new name – Ash and I were talking about it a while back and I told her I wanted it to be named Corellian Base. We both loved that name…

when shelob attacked
HOLY CRAP There was the biggest, most horrific spider in the garage today. I was coming inside the garage from my car and it was sitting there on one of my blocks of foam, just looking at me. I swear to god, it was f-ing SHELOB man… I grabbed the closest thing to me and sprayed it… it ended up…

Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Rebel Leia progress!
For Belle… I’ve still got to hem the skirt, but I got the overlay finished and I’m about halfway through beading it. I got my shoes and spruced them up a bit, they’re so gaudy they crack me up 😀 Tomorrow I’m going to tackle the rest of the skirt, and try to finish the beading so I can go…

All 3 of my babies, all actually looking at the camera!

when objects reappeared
On the subject of Reappearing objects: Twice we’ve had something disappear, only to reappear in an unlikely place. When my parents were younger, they moved into an apartment complex. The day they were moving in, they dropped their Aggravation board game (a game that involves several marbles) and the marbles spilled out into the flowerbed in front of their apartment.…

when i didn’t do an entry for hp monthly
Well, I was going to do an entry for the HP Monthly, but unless I manage to… um, like draw anything tonight it’s not going to happen, haha. Oh well, next month I suppose. Today did the Big Scoop in costume. Was fun. Didn’t stay long since had stuff to do this afternoon. Tomorrow heading to my grandmother’s… I don’t…

Belle Gloves
I got my gloves and Cath’s gloves in the mail today – Cath’s are perfect, but mine were too light. (very, very pale yellow) I got some dye out and dyed them – they turned out pretty good. They match the fabric pretty well now. Am pretty happy. I got my basic skirt made for Belle, and laid out the…

Dragoncon 05 Projects
Went on a buying spree this morning! First, the Disney project: Belle (Me) It’s coming along. My mom’s ballroom hoopskirt is perfect for it. I got my yellow-gold material for the dress – it’s exactly what I wanted from a few months ago. At first I couldn’t find out and was bummed because I didn’t like anything else at the…
