    Rogue, Mustafar and Lake Padme updates!

    I finished my Rogue straps, the boots and all the little straps that go around her wrists, upper arms and top of the boots! Whoohoo! All I have left to do on her is sew some velcro on the legs and top of the boots so the boots will freaking stay up. And get Chase to finish the center X…

    Rogue boots progress

    My dress sold! Very exciting. I’ve only ever sold one of my costumes on ebay once before, and that didn’t turn out well, so I’m glad this time has gone so smoothly (and that it went for more than my buy-it-now even was! whoohoo!) I’m still at the beginning stages of my Rogue boots. I decided that while I work…

    when the president was at graceland

    So Bush and the Prime Minister of Japan are here in Memphis today. And what are they doing? They’re touring freaking Graceland. Funny, exactly two years ago we were also touring Graceland. Coincidence? I think NOT! Ha. Anyway, glad I don’t have to be anywhere down there. My god, the traffic!

    Got my Padme tunic finished – the collar looks good! I’ll try to take pics this weekend. However dying the pants did not turn out good – they turned kinda yellowish.

    the gates swung open and…

    Pardon me while I have a strange interlude. Why you couple of baboons… What makes you think I’d marry either one of you? Strange how the wind blows tonight… it has a thin eerie voice, reminds me of poor old Marsden. How happy I could be with either of these two, if both of them just went away…

    Fabric & SDCC 2006 Schedule

    My main brooch for mustafar padme is almost done; I’m a bit stuck on doing the little flowers on the sculpey. Everytime I tried to just carve the shape it ends up not looking right. I got tired of thinking about it yesterday so I haven’t looked at it since. I went to the fabric store friday – got my…

    when we made extra sdcc plans

    Well, Ash and I have decided not to go to Legoland in San Diego next month; it’s too far away and too expensive. Instead, I realised the Hotel del Coronado is very near there. I’d love to go see that! I think we may do that that wednesday afternoon before preview night. If not that, I also realised the Salk…

    Well I’m posting this from weekend, which I generally try not to do, but I haven’t had internet access at home since friday morning. Very frustrating. It’s apparently fixed now, but I was only able to get online once over the weekend, and that was for 5 minutes at my aunt’s house saturday afternoon. Ok here was my whole weekend…

    Sculpey Moment

    Well, I was without internet access all weekend, so you’d think I would have gotten some more work done, but alas, that was not the case. Anyway, the point of this entry was this: I’m sitting here working with some sculpey at the moment, and it made me remember this incident a few years ago. It was back in early…

    I’m trying to clean my room, because Chase is gonna be here this weekend and my room is a disaster area and I know he doesn’t want to sleep in the middle of my laundry. But, I’m just so zapped from work today, it’s hard to do anything… my eyes are hurting a lot the past couple of days, and…
