    license to wed

    Marriage license in hand 🙂 It was relatively painless. I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere, but the place we went had this GIANT, ancient book where the clerk had to fill in our names, date, age, etc – I was looking through it while she was on the computer (it’s right out front, it’s not behind the desk)…

    Weather, Showers, Etc

    The lingerie shower was really fun last night, we all had a great dinner, I got a ton of cute stuff (a good mix of things!), good cake, and then sitting around talking & telling stories for hours. I want to at least post the picture of the cake, because it was so cute! Also, I forgot to mention –…

Tonight I’ve got to finish my bridesmaids gifts, and mom is working on my veil. Tomorrow morning, we go to get the marriage license! Then tomorrow night, we have to start getting…

    Poison Ivy costume?

    Out of the blue I kinda want to do a Poison Ivy costume. I realised I’m going to have all these silk ivy leaves leftover after the wedding (the ones that are going on top of our arbor at the ceremony site) – why not put them to good use? Also can reuse one of my red wigs and use…

    ZOMG… the wedding is nearly upon us

    If we were having the ceremony somewhere that allowed it, Indiana totally would have been in the wedding – look at “Flower Girl” and “Ringbearer” doggie t-shirts. I would be all over that, LOL. There’s some other stuff on that site I kinda want – it would probably come in time if I ordered today, but man, it’s so close.…

    Beach stuff

    Chase has a tennis match this morning… my parents are off running errands… so I’m home alone for once 🙂 We went shopping last night – Chase had gift cards leftover from his birthday, so he bought some new clothes for the honeymoon. I bought some essential stuff for the beach… sunscreen, travel sized toothpaste and shampoo, new sunglasses since…

    Holy Cow… wedding dress

    We went to pick up our dresses – and I tried mine on, and I simply cannot believe the amazing job she did on mine. She redid all the beading on both sides, and it looks perfect, like she never had to take it up 3 inches on either side! I’m so excited 🙂 If I can find a time…

Ash, Cath and I headed up to St Louis friday night – we got in around midnight. (We stopped at McDonald’s for dinner and went in the restroom – and there…

    MidSouthCon 2008 pics

    Friday night – like I said we didn’t go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn’t fun going…

    Belle pics and more Scarlet Witch updates

    Last night I cut out my boot covers, hemmed my cape, and did a lot of dyeing. It took several rounds but I finally got the fabric about the right colour, I’m ok with it. Chase also finished the necklace and armbands for the Lake Dress last night — he was going to paint them at work today, so hopefully…

    Scarlet Witch progress

    I dyed my bodysuit last night – easy enough. I also dyed my gloves and the briefs to better match the cape material. I got the cape cut out and put together – I need to hem it and it’s finished. So I spent the better part of the night trying to decide what to do about the bodice. The…

    relief

    We have a minister! The current senior minister at my church is able to do the service! I’ve honestly not met him before – he’s only been there just a little over a year or so now – we don’t go all that often, and when we do, we go to the contemporary service, because dad plays guitar for it.…

    Well no pics last night, at least none of me. I did finally finish re-sewing the sleeves onto my green Belle dress, and took some pics of it – The sleeves finally stay up properly… I wanted to try to take pictures of it outside this weekend, but it looks like we’re supposed to get a lot of rain… so…

    Things I need to do a photoshoot with

    I really want to pull out the backdrop and do a photoshoot tonight. I need to finish sewing my other green Belle sleeve on, and I could take pics of it tonight. I also reeeeeeally need to dig out my “doll” Leia costume I made for Dragoncon and never wore, and take pics of it. I also want to take…
