fabric shopping!
Went to the fabric store last night, it was a successful trip! I got the lining for the snowbunny cape, the yellow satin I need for the “special” belle. I got my pattern for the wonder woman bodice. But best of all I found fabric for Glinda that I just squealed when I saw it. At first I thought there…

So, Dragoncon Plans
Starfire – I got my wig, I need to start working on it – unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn’t fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I’ve got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit… and…

OCD wonderland (aka my Costume Closet)
Spent a while unpacking stuff and hanging costumes up, again. I’m having way too much fun hanging up all my costumes again, getting everything organized. I love it! Here’s a sneak peek of how it’s going. The left side is the Star Wars side. As you can see, right inside the door on that side are some shelves, where I’ve…

More Adventurecon 2008 Pics
Ok, here’s the rest of the adcon pics! Friday was a looooooooong drive. Even though we left earlier than we planned, it stormed really hard during the drive, and then we were stuck in standstill traffic for at least an hour about halfway there. We finally got there around 8 that night, got checked and our stuff up to the…

Adventurecon 2008 – Poison Ivy PIcs
We’re back! We had a fun time. Just long drives to get there. I’ll write more about it later, once I finish getting my pictures up. I’ve got the first few on my flickr, but I haven’t had time to finish resizing the rest of them…. we had company last night so I didn’t get to finish them 🙂 This…

Back from Adcon
We’re back from Adcon in Knoxville. I’ve been vegging on the couch, and Chase has been downstairs working in his shop. I heard a bunch of banging on the walls but assumed it was Chase doing something down there. He came in and asked if I’d help take trash down, so we went out and there on our landing window…

Costume Madhouse and Poison Ivy updates
Last night was spent turning the apartment upside down looking for various costume pieces. Blegh. We even made a run back to my parents’ house at 10pm to see if maybe the things we were looking for were there (for me, it was my Kingdom Come shinguards & wing harness). Finally found them around 11 – turns out the box…

Poison Ivy & Giselle updates
Poison Ivy is finished! Yay! I went ahead and packed it up last night. My Giselle wig is finished – the zipper is in, top is finished, and it’s hemmed. I need to attach the white shoulder piece, the ribbon and the straps, and it’s done. I’m also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman. I don’t know if I feel like…

Superhero Summer camp
Just got back from playing Wonder Woman at a kid’s summer camp! It was fun. They have different themes every week – this week was “Superheroes.” I got off work around 2 and headed up there, got my costume on. They stuck my cousin David in a rented Batman suit – it was HILARIOUS. We answered questions from the kids…

Giselle progress
The sewing machine is still at my parent’s house, so last night I went home and sewed the pieces of Giselle together. I ironed it and tried it on – it’s much too big and doesn’t fit through the chest and waist, so I’ll be taking it up this weekend. Also need to put the zipper in, and hem the…

A few wedding pics
Hopefully we’ll be getting the disc of all the full-size copies of the photos pretty soon — but I realised I’m starting to forget some of the moment-by-moment parts of the day, so I thought I’d go ahead and post about the wedding day with some of my favourite pics out of the proof gallery our photographer sent us. These…

We are moved in!
I got my Poison Ivy boots basically finished, I just need to glue down a few spots, and add leaves. Also made my gloves – just need to add leaves to those, too. Fix that one spot on the briefs, and she’s done. I got my Giselle pieces cut out — I left all the pieces at home with the…

Poison Ivy updates and packing…
Tomorrow is moving day, and I haven’t packed any of my costume stuff. I think I’ve got a plan. Most of my stuff is in plastic storage bins. When we get the uhaul here tonight, I’m just going to put whatever loose stuff in whatever plastic bin has room, and load them up that way. Messy I know, but I…

Starfire, Poison Ivy progress
Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven’t really done anything on Poison Ivy – but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and…
