    Halloween Plans

    Sleeping Beauty is coming along, I’m *really* hoping to have it finished by next weekend, but if it’s not finished, oh well. I’ve got the dress basically put together, I need to attach the sleeves, attach the skirt to the bodice section and hem it, and get the zipper put in. I’m hoping to do most of those tonight. For…

    Indy the Wonder Dog

    This is what happens when I organize my fabric and realise I have enough scraps to make a silly costume for my dog. This was the best pic I could get of her in it. We’re going to the St Jude Showcase of Dogs this weekend… and I was going to take her in her superdog costume. But then I…

    Nashville Photoshoot & Halloween

    We’re home. We had a lot of fun this weekend, like I said. It’s going to take me a while to get all the photos up, though, there’s so many! He did send me two random Wonder Woman shots – I uploaded one of them. We shot WW at the Parthenon, like I said – and there were a LOT…

    Black Canary Photoshoot Preview

    The photoshoots went great today, from what I’ve seen on Chase’s computer I’m really pleased, especially with the Wonder Woman shots. I went ahead and uploaded one of my favourite Black Canary ones — I should have the rest up on my flickr throughout the week.

    Wizard scan

    I didn’t get around to scanning the magazine last night – but thanks to tetsuyacasshern on LOH I can at least give a sneak peek 🙂 Still going to scan my copy, so I’ll post a better version probably when I start posting pics from the photoshoot today. Speaking of which, we’re off!

    Working on the living space

    Our extra bedroom – AKA the workroom – has basically been nothing but a giant maze of boxes and bins since we moved. Now that Dragoncon is over and we’ve basically settled back down into a more normal routine, we’ve really started tackling the workroom over the past week. These pics are from yesterday. I really wish I’d taken “before”…

    the workroom

    I wish I’d taken pictures of it as it’s looked for the last couple of months. Basically since we’ve moved, this room has been a room of boxes. I’ve gone through a few things – unpacked most of my costumes and put them away in the closet, trying to make room. We cleared a space for our shelves, but that’s…

    Dcon Rooms & Trooping

    Dragoncon 2009 rooms booked as of 11pm last night LOL. Apparently everyone started calling at 11/midnight Atlanta time – Chase said the woman on the phone said they were swamped with calls. We are headed to Nashville this weekend – Monday we are doing some promo stuff for the hockey game our garrison is doing in November – I guess…

    Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup

    1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

    Dragoncon 2008 – sunday!

    Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said “NO!”) and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a…

    Dragoncon 2008 – saturday!

    Ok I’m going to stop talking so much about my costumes and what I want to change, since I’ll want to make a separate post about that later. But anyway – on to Saturday pics! Thank god for Ash! She came over to help us finish getting ready that morning – I was getting Starfire on for the very first…

    Dragoncon 2008 – thurs and friday!

    Hey guys… sorry I haven’t posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I’ve been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though – had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I’ll break up my posts…

    Costume Updates!! and Ame-Comi WW preview

    Sorry I haven’t posted much – we’ve been working pretty much non-stop, trying to finish everything. On friday we found out the guy was not going to finish my wonder woman stuff, either, so we had to swing into action and a figure out a half-decent way to do it outselves. It came out pretty well. The situation just sucks…

    Frustration, and Starfire progress

    So the situation I talked about last time has at least come to some kind of resolution. The guy said yesterday that he was pulling my pieces that night, and that he would send it out today. I sent him a fedex slip for sat. delivery, so if it doesn’t show up tomorrow that’s our clue to start working on…

    I think everything will get done

    I am feeling ok about getting everything done in time. The only thing I’m not feeling ok about are the pieces of my Wonder Woman (my chestpiece and belt to be exact) and Chase’s Green Arrow that a friend of Chase’s was making for us – he still hasn’t sent them. It’s going to SUCK if they don’t come in…

    Wonder Woman progress pics

    Making progress, feeling better about things. I got my new Starfire boots and made the new covers for them and finished them up last night. Chase airbrushed my bodysuit and I made my armband. There’s not a lot left to do on Starfire – Chase is finishing up my collar, and painting that and the gauntlets… I just need to…
