The Last Big Purchase… a box of Boushh
Well, yesterday, I spent a whole lot of money that I probably shouldn’t have, but in the long-run I figure it’s a deal. I now have the bulk of a project I wasn’t going to even start on for a long time winging its way to me as I type this. As a result, I’m probably going to delay most…

Adventurecon 2007 Pics!
I’ll start with Friday 🙂 Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt’s car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up…

Funeral Padme Progress…
Padme is going; but she’s not really finished. After this con the collar and the few sequins I sewed on will be taken off, and the cape will be dyed some more. I may also remake the collar. But it’s wearable. I hope. I packed Hoth Leia, Ewok Village Leia, and Slave Leia, along with Funeral Padme, Corde, and Wonder…

out of time… still trying to finish Funeral Padme
Wow, I have completely run out of time. I did one more dip in the dye for the cloak this morning, but its the last one I have time for before we leave tomorrow. I’m still not happy with the colour. It’s still not dark enough, too bright. I don’t think I have time to put the sequins on the…

I’m blue… Funeral Padme
Wow, last night was interesting. I painted the cape last night. I almost got done – there’s about 15% left in the center I need to do. I just had to stop last night, my back was killing me from leaning over the stupid thing, and I was COVERED. I mean, my hands were completely blue (I looked like mystique!),…

Ewok Village Leia and Funeral Padme progress
Sorry, no pics to post of stuff in progress today… My laptop died. Luckily my hard drive is ok. I bought a hard drive enclosure yesterday, and was able to get most of what I hadn’t backed up off of it, and onto my external (back up) hard drive. There were a few files and folders that I needed into…

The Good and the Bad
The Good: Put down payment on the honeymoon!! Paid off our ceremony and reception site!! Had a cookout tonight! Chase got me a Boushh doll! 😀 The Bad: Can’t use miles my aunt and uncle were giving us for the honeymoon! Haven’t felt like sewing at all the past two days! Spent three hours looking for a decent swimsuit. Every…

Adventurecon 2007 Schedule, & updates
Normally I’m off at a con this weekend! Nope, this year it’s next weekend. The good news – Chase is getting off early friday, around 2. So we’ll be pulling into Knoxville around 9. Not really enough time to do anything that night, unfortunately, but better than 2 or 3 in the morning. I have no idea when I’m going…

when we saw a 3 hour long pirate movie
I felt fine before going to the doctor yesterday. Yesterday afternoon afterwards, started feeling icky and weird. Still do. It’s just like when the doctor asks if your throat hurts, you say no, then he sticks that stupid stick down your throat to look, and after that your throat hurts. I’m always like, “trashball, it was fine before you stuck…

Funeral Padme progress pic
really quickly, because I have to leave in like 2 minutes for a dr’s appt. Underdress is almost finished, just needs tweaking. Cut out the basic pieces of the cape last night and pinned them on, tonight I will put them together and hopefully start dying.

Sewing Machine Woes and Ewok Village Leia
Well, the sewing machine still isn’t back – we’re getting it back today. Mum went to pick it up the other day, and the guy hadn’t dropped it off at the store – apparently he only visits that particular store on fridays, which he neglected to tell us. But, I did mostly finish my wig. It actually needs to be…

Adventurecon 2007 schedule
We don’t know what time we’re getting there friday night – we’re hoping chase can get a halfday off work so we can leave memphis by noon or one. If we do that, then i’ll be able to have time to go to the con that night — if not, we won’t be able to leave memphis until like, 6…

it’s ALIVE!!! & Ewok Village Leia updates
So the sewing machine has been cleaned and fixed, and is coming home today. I was a little worried because the guy called friday, asking us to please call about the sewing machine… and then we couldn’t get in touch with him all weekend. We were all worried it was something serious! (it was like a call from a doctor……

chase sent me a card today and this was the message: “I thought this was cute… just remember, when the plastic fades, the costumes go to storage and seasons change, I will still love you. Beyond all the things we do, you and me are *us* regardless of anything else but our love. Yes I wrote that myself LOL.. I…

Interesting Night
We’re house-sitting/Kevin-sitting for my aunt and uncle again this week, just for a few days… got there from work yesterday afternoon, and after being online for about 10 minutes, the internet went out. That’s happened at their house before, and it’s come back after a few minutes, but not this time. It never came back. It was still out this…

In which I am an idiot
So I go to leave for work this morning, and realise my keys are not on the key rack. I think to myself, where are my keys? I think back… to saturday… and I can see my keys perfectly, I know exactly where they are, they’re in Chase’s car’s glove compartment. And he’s at work. So I had to call…

Funeral Padme and Ewok Leia updates
I almost finished the dress of the Padme water gown this weekend. I need to get it fitted a little better (it’s too baggy and big), and get it hemmed, and then onto dying and all that fun stuff, but I’m pretty pleased with it thus far. The fabric I bought for it, I originally had planned to use the…

The sewing machine is back..
The sewing machine is back, because my mum forgot to drop it off at the store. D’oh. Tomorrow I’m going to get the main pieces cut out for the dress of the Padme water gown. I really need to do some experimenting with the velvet for outer cape. I may put the nightgown away again for a while, because I’d…
