    MidsouthCon 2007 pics!

    Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning – it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn’t wear the wig while I…

    when i chronicled my wallet

    I’m cleaning out my wallet, because I got a new one! I thought I’d list all the junk that was in it, because i’m a nerd like that. Ticket stubs: Casino Royale, Happy Feet, TMNT, Talladega Nights (that’s it? I usually have like, 20 in there.) Receipts: Ben and Jerry’s, Sekisui, Target, Texas De Brazil, McAllister’s, Hancock Fabrics, Huey’s, another…

    Ceremonial Leia and Wonder Woman updates!

    Today is Chase’s birthday! 🙂 We had cake last night, and macaroni grill. Last night, I put together the bodice for Belle. It’s HUGE. I cut it out at the size I usually use, which is usually a *little* big, but this looks like it’s at least 3 or 4 sizes too big. Crazy stuff. Nothing that can’t be fixed,…

    bouncing from one project to the next

    I got a base necklace for my necklace pieces… I haven’t figured out how to attach them yet, but they look great just sitting around it on the table LOL I cut out the pattern for my belt. Dad came up with a pattern on the computer last night – he took the dimensions of my regular ANH belt, and…

    I have a dress!!! :D

    We went and picked it up last night! I didn’t try it on again, but we took it out of the bag and had a good look at it – it’s actually somehow prettier than the one in the store (maybe because 1000 people haven’t tried it on!), it’s just so white! LOL. It’s now safely at my aunt’s house.…

    Wonder Woman, Leia updates

    I’m starting to get worried that all of my stuff won’t be done by this weekend. If my metal comes for WW tomorrow, I should be ok on that. Chase has got the two main chest pieces cut, the belt and tiara will come off the next piece I’m waiting on. My gauntlets won’t take long. Tonight I decided I…

    when i had a butt crack on my phone

    The other night when we all went out to dinner and a movie, Rachel was laughing about how she had taken a picture of a “butt” on her camera phone, by squeezing her arm together and taking a closeup, making it look like a butt crack. I decided to take one too, except mine was my “elbow crack.” We were…

    when i had bigger fish to fry

    I was way angry and upset earlier, but now I’ve spiraled down into a weird, silly, freako kinda mood. I’m still pretty frustrated by the thing from earlier, but other peoples’ goofiness can’t be helped, and I have bigger fish to fry…. like going to get me some crackers and a coke.

    when they left my window down

    I needed to take my car in today – not for anything major, I just wanted an oil change and a check up. Kristie was also taking hers in, so around 11 we both went over to Gateway and dropped them off, and Cojo brought us back to the office. I love Gateway – I think they’re awesome, they’re really…

    Wonder Woman progress

    I’ve been busy the last couple of nights, so I haven’t really made much progress on anything. I plan on buckling down next week and getting at least the ceremonial base dress finished… like I said, need to re-do the top. I’m not worried about the sleeves, except for where they meet on the bodice, since I didn’t get that…

    when chase had 70s hair

    Chase gets to go play outside shooting rockets with my mum’s class today, while i’m stuck here at stinky work 🙁 I guess this is, somehow, kinda twisted payback for all the times he had to be at work while I lazed around at his apartment. haha. He got a haircut last night; 70s Han hair is gone! It’s back…

    Costume & Convention Plans

    Weekend after next is St Patrick’s Day; we’re planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I’m – hopefully – wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I’m a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go.…
