    when there were two tiggers

    I’m at my grandma’s. Yay for me or something. Upon arriving here, Mema presented me with a large, stuffed Tigger. It’s very cute, however… I have one *exactly* like it already. And who gave it to me? You guessed it, Mema. Haha!! That’s ok, they can sit together on top of my bunk bed :B

    when it was a sad day

    My computer is being a stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid Still sick – woke up at 4AM with my fever back in full force. Mom made me stay home from work today. Can’t you tell I’m sooo sad about that? Ha, ha. Anyway, yeah, my computer. I was going through my files looking for something to set as a new desktop. I came across…

    Queen Amidala Parade Petals

    Don’t take a picture of me! The dying! Take a picture of the dying! It was nice out yesterday, so I did my dying outside. Here’s what the petals looked like BEFORE… And right after dying, still wet. After they were all dry today, I pinned some onto the cloak, just to get a feel for how they were looking.…

    Some sketches

    I actually scanned some stuff. Gasp, shock. Some of this stuff I may have already scanned and posted before but I wasn’t sure, so here it is anyway. this is from last year actually… I drew it out of boredom, and inked it out of boredom. I might try to finish it. A boring picture of a horse, made more…

    when the gangster was my mom

    I was driving home this afternoon, and this car gets in behind me, and is kinda following me. So I’m thinking, y’know, if you want to go faster, pass me fool! There’s two lanes! But then the person starts flashing their lights at me. (and, if I were Catherine at this point, I would have started screaming that THERE IS…

    when i really needed spring break

    Yesterday in class, we started going over the SAME FREAKING STUFF I’ve had last semester and just like, 2 weeks ago in my other class. I was on the verge of pulling my hair out. Instead, I stopped taking notes and drew a gigantic explosion on the page, and wrote underneath it, “I HAVE EXPLODED.” And then I just sat…

    when the sims were streaking

    Haha I got Sims 2 University to work for a while… (I think I pinpointed the problem, I think my computer is getting too hot and it’s automatically turning off to protect itself… I’m going to get a cooling table for it) OMG it’s HILARIOUS when they streak!! I had everybody in the house streaking at one point. I especially…

    when there was cheesecake

    Several reasons why today sucked: 1. Had to watch West Side Story in class. I really don’t care for that movie. 2. Had to go back to work after school – I get out of class at 4:30 so I was there until like 5:30. Yuck. 3. Macaroni Grill got my order wrong. Actually, my mom called it in wrong,…

    I got quite a few more petals done this weekend, and today I finished the base cape. I worked on the dress a little more, too. Here’s the base cape for my Padme Parade dress… this was on sunday morning, when I was just pinning it together and stuff. I finished it today, as I said. Here’s the workstation for…

    when i questioned mara’s wedding dress

    One of the things that disappoints me about the Star Wars universe is the subject of marriage. I haven’t really thought about it or looked into that much, my memory may be a bit fuzzy in a few places, but why is that “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” so much of the Earthly, western ideal…

    when i was selected

    Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…

    when there was a guy with a sledgehammer

    Yesterday on my way to work, I stopped to get gas. Whils I was standing there letting it fill up, I turned around to watch traffic. There was some road construction happening at the corner, but nothing that was holding up traffic. Out of nowhere, one of the construction guys walks right out into oncoming traffic and starts pounding on…

    Amidala Shoes, Parasol, Progress & Plans

    I’ve actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals… and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I’m in love, haha. I painted my shoes…
