    Snow!

    We got maybe 4in of snow here yesterday… everybody got off work early and Chase & I played in it, and made a Snow Snoopy. I was going to get up early this morning and put Hoth Leia on and take some pics outside, but I ended up not feeling like it… plus since dad obviously hasn’t cut the grass…

    oh, ups!

    So one day last week at work, none of the folks who normally accept our deliveries from UPS or Fedex were there yet when UPS started banging on the door. So I had to go do it, which I hate doing, but that’s another story. The driver was friendly, he chatted about basketball and the weather while fishing our packages…

    Con Nooga 2008 Pics

    Ok, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. We’ve just been so busy! We didn’t take many – we were very lazy about pics. I was not in a good mood because I went to put my green Belle dress on saturday morning- and the sleeves looked horrible. That’s what I get for waiting last minute, I…

    Belle Library dress progress

    “Great costumes!” thanks! “Are they all yours?” no, most of them I stole. don’t tell anybody. Move, Indiana! Anyway, I finished the bodice last night – got all the grommets in, and it was actually the easiest job I’ve ever had of it – I didn’t ruin any of them so I didn’t need my extras! My to-do list for…

    Padme Lake dress finished!!

    I put it on the mannequin to take some finished pics, since the mannequin has arms to hold the sleeves up. She’s considerably taller than me, so the train isn’t as long as it should be, but it still works! And a few on the dressform too:

    hair practice

    Went to Frankie yesterday for him to practice the style I wanted for the wedding day 🙂 Luckily it coincided with Chase & mine’s Valentine’s Day dinner, so I took advantage of having nice hair and I was finally able to make use of my new dress I’ve had for months, LOL. But anyway – I’m quite happy with it,…

    Smells I love

    Smells I love, in no particular order. 1. Febreze 2. The iron when it’s steaming 3. The cologne Chase used to wear, when we first started dating 4. This soap I got for Christmas that I can’t find anywhere else on earth and it’s already half empty and I really really want to find more. 5. The silver fridge at…

    Padme Lake dress almost done

    Very nearly done. The dyeing went really well, and I loooove how the georgette took the dye. Just needs a few more tweaks, and to finish the accessories. Hoping to have it up on ebay soon, for some extra cash for the honeymoon 🙂

    Padme Lake Dress updates

    Haven’t gotten to do much this week, thanks to wedding meetings and whatnot. I’m really hoping to get a lot done this weekend. Here’s some pics of what I have gotten done since last time. Sleeping Beauty – purple/lavender version. Basically, both of these fabrics are things I had leftover and wanted to use and get out of the way.…

    Stormy weather

    Yep, bad weather in Memphis. We are fine. Power is off at home, Mum & Dad are safely home with the dogs, though. Chase had to stop and head to my aunt’s house when the weather turned bad on his way home, and once the storms were over, I came over here and joined him since they have power. The…

    Belle’s Library dress progress pics

    As I said last update, I had gotten the skirt basically put together. It’s still where it was back then – the gathering at the waistband needs to be tweaked, I need to put the waistband on, and hem it. (I think I am going to leave it a little longer than the dress in the movie is – in…

    when I was Loquacious

    Back in high school, I had this teacher for a semester of history who was, without a doubt, the biggest jerk I’ve ever encountered as a teacher. He was a coach, and was only teaching the class because there was no one else. He would SCREAM at us for no reason, and I always remembered the veins on his neck…

    costume projects!

    So I’ve been a busy little bee lately. Because of the eyestrain/headache thing I’ve been having lately, I’ve been staying away from the computer in the evenings and working on projects and whatnot – wedding & sewing stuff, basically. Here’s what they are – sorry, no pics as of yet – I’ll try to get some up pretty soon. 1.…

    rings and things

    We went to the mall sunday for a few minutes to glance at rings and get some ideas for chase’s band – and ended up buying a ring that afternoon. Never expected to find something so quickly! (especially considering how long it took to find mine) But, it’s bough & paid for and in the safe. I should have taken…
