2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

Hockey Game Star Wars Troop!
We spent the night at my grandparents friday night to cut an hour off our drive time saturday morning, that was super nice. So Saturday morning we got on up and headed to Nashville. We stopped by the costume store up there and picked up a different kind of bald cap than the kind I’d gotten, it was supposed to…

blurb = FAIL
So. I made & ordered four photo books through blurb.com as christmas presents. All wedding photos, nice hardback coffee table books for my parents and grandparents. I had it shipped to my parents’ house, as I always do (less chance of someone walking off with it than at our house). I warned my mother not to open it when it…

Ahsoka Pic!
just barely finished it, was still working on it in the hotel room and was an hour late to the arena. But it was so much fun to wear!

off we go
we’re heading east in just a few minutes… everything is still not done… Chase will be working on it some more tonight. I’m trusting that we’ll get everything done and at least wearable for tomorrow – I’m not taking a backup costume. wish me luck I guess :B

Ahsoka and Sally updates
First up, last weekend’s Make-a-Wish thing was fun. We got lost on the way there when the GPS told us to take a road that didn’t exist. But the mall it was at was really nice, and I think they raised a good bit of money. I haven’t heard, and I haven’t seen any pics yet – we didn’t take…

Ornaments and Hair!
Chase and I bought our first two Christmas ornaments together – Wall-e and Beauty and the Beast 🙂 I won’t be doing Leia at events for a while – I was tired of my hair and told Frankie to do whatever he wanted to it, so he dyed it purple yesterday. It eventually fade to a deep, deep burgundy once…

Costume Plans
I didn’t work on anything tonight – I’m fighting off a headache, I really do not want to still have my head aching Saturday at the Make-a-Wish thing. But! I had to post because we got our Megacon flights booked today. I’m SUPER excited, I’ve heard good things about the con and it’s been forever since we’ve gone to a…

Ahsoka and Belle updates
I got my fabric for Ahsoka yesterday, finally, and ripped my mockups up and got the skirt basically put together, but around that time realised I didn’t have any kind of matching thread so couldn’t do any top-stitching or finishing on it. I forgot to go get thread today, too. So tonight I cleaned my Belle dress. The back of…

Halloween 2008 Photos!!
So Friday, I decided not to wear Poison Ivy to work, for the main reason I couldn’t lace it up by myself! I pulled out Hermione instead. So instead of matching Kevin as the Joker I matched Ash, who wore her Slytherin robes. Got to work and very quickly did Kevin’s hair and makeup and had him put the vest…

Me as Sleeping Beauty
here’s the finished sleeping beauty… I didn’t hardly get any good pics of it! I haven’t finished going through Saturday’s pics, once I get them uploaded I’ll post about the whole Halloween weekend.

Kevin as Joker
Kevin at work today. Just a halfway sort of thing since he’s still got to actually work at work 🙂 He’ll have the rest of it on for handing out candy tonight.
-
Sleeping Beauty nearly done
All that’s left is sewing the collar in place, and putting a few snaps in on the back to hold it down. And i need to iron it. Chase is painting my crown today so I can sew it into my wig tonight. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out.

the workroom – 10/30
Here’s some more progress on the prop room. We finally got the other shelves up, and unpacked a few more things. The boxes migrated. We’re going to be working on it some more tonight, to try to get it passable for having company over this weekend.

More Sleeping Beauty progress
two more days to go… Got to get the collar attached, get the boning and grommets put into the bodice, and get the pointed section attached. Oh and hem the chiffon up the front.
-
Sleeping Beauty progress
I ended up being sick yesterday and stayed home from work, but I managed to get a little bit done. Since then the chiffon skirt has mostly been hemmed (sewing machine messed up after finishing the length of the bottom so just the pieces going up the front haven’t been finished. I usually take it as a sign to stop…

Sleeping Beauty dress
working while house sitting sucks… I’m stuck on Sleeping Beauty because I need a bunch of stuff from home. I need my lighter interfacing, the rest of my blue fabric, my curlers for the wig, and my white thread… I thought I brought everything I needed but of course I didn’t… now I’m stuck on every part until I get…
