Adventurecon 2008 – Poison Ivy PIcs
We’re back! We had a fun time. Just long drives to get there. I’ll write more about it later, once I finish getting my pictures up. I’ve got the first few on my flickr, but I haven’t had time to finish resizing the rest of them…. we had company last night so I didn’t get to finish them 🙂 This…

Back from Adcon
We’re back from Adcon in Knoxville. I’ve been vegging on the couch, and Chase has been downstairs working in his shop. I heard a bunch of banging on the walls but assumed it was Chase doing something down there. He came in and asked if I’d help take trash down, so we went out and there on our landing window…

Costume Madhouse and Poison Ivy updates
Last night was spent turning the apartment upside down looking for various costume pieces. Blegh. We even made a run back to my parents’ house at 10pm to see if maybe the things we were looking for were there (for me, it was my Kingdom Come shinguards & wing harness). Finally found them around 11 – turns out the box…

Poison Ivy & Giselle updates
Poison Ivy is finished! Yay! I went ahead and packed it up last night. My Giselle wig is finished – the zipper is in, top is finished, and it’s hemmed. I need to attach the white shoulder piece, the ribbon and the straps, and it’s done. I’m also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman. I don’t know if I feel like…

Superhero Summer camp
Just got back from playing Wonder Woman at a kid’s summer camp! It was fun. They have different themes every week – this week was “Superheroes.” I got off work around 2 and headed up there, got my costume on. They stuck my cousin David in a rented Batman suit – it was HILARIOUS. We answered questions from the kids…

Art Post: Glinda
Costume art reference for my Glinda (book version) costume!

Giselle progress
The sewing machine is still at my parent’s house, so last night I went home and sewed the pieces of Giselle together. I ironed it and tried it on – it’s much too big and doesn’t fit through the chest and waist, so I’ll be taking it up this weekend. Also need to put the zipper in, and hem the…

A few wedding pics
Hopefully we’ll be getting the disc of all the full-size copies of the photos pretty soon — but I realised I’m starting to forget some of the moment-by-moment parts of the day, so I thought I’d go ahead and post about the wedding day with some of my favourite pics out of the proof gallery our photographer sent us. These…

Adcon 2008 plans…
We rented a vehicle for the weekend, so we can all fit, yay! Got a good deal on it, too 8) Chase has gotten a half day that day! YAY! So we’ll leave town around 11:30 – swing through Kevin’s camp and pick him up at one (it’s on the way to Knoxville) – get into Knoxville around 6ish? We’ll…

We are moved in!
I got my Poison Ivy boots basically finished, I just need to glue down a few spots, and add leaves. Also made my gloves – just need to add leaves to those, too. Fix that one spot on the briefs, and she’s done. I got my Giselle pieces cut out — I left all the pieces at home with the…

Poison Ivy updates and packing…
Tomorrow is moving day, and I haven’t packed any of my costume stuff. I think I’ve got a plan. Most of my stuff is in plastic storage bins. When we get the uhaul here tonight, I’m just going to put whatever loose stuff in whatever plastic bin has room, and load them up that way. Messy I know, but I…

Adcon 2008 Schedule
Probably won’t be there in time to wear anything Friday, so… Saturday morning: Scarlet Witch Saturday afternoon: Poison Ivy Saturday evening: KC Wonder Woman Saturday night: Wonder Woman Sunday: Giselle, if I finish her, if not, Rogue movie uniform. If I were to take a Star Wars costume it’ll be slave Leia, as I want a few new pics of…

Starfire, Poison Ivy progress
Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven’t really done anything on Poison Ivy – but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and…

Busy Shopping day
Chase was up super early because he had a tennis match – he got home around 10, took a shower, and headed off to errands. #1 – We went and picked out which apartment we wanted, got everything with that taken care of… we move in next weekend. #2 – Went to the furniture store. They no longer had the…

glasses!
Got my glasses! they are super cute. However they really mess with my vision, they will take a lot of getting used to. I’m going to wear them for maybe a half-hour today, then 45 mins tomorrow, build it up because I don’t want a headache from trying to wear them for too long.

A place to live is a good thing
We got approved on the apartment today, we drop off the Indiana (dog) deposit saturday, pick out which one we want, and move in june 1. I’m excited, I’m glad we found this place, the location is perfect, the price is great, we’ll be able to save for a down payment on a house once our lease is up. It’s…

Boots & Marion
Yesterday shopping went well – Found two pairs of boots that I could possibly use for the costume – I bought them both, as they were only $6 a piece! The others can always be used somewhere else, LOL. I got a pair of shorts/briefs for Poison Ivy at target – got them covered in leaves last night, but I’m…
-
Poison Ivy progress
Went home last night for an hour or so and messed with the bodice to get it to fit better – luckily the first thing I tried worked like a charm! It fits great now! I also sewed up the front permanently so I wouldn’t have to deal with a gazillion hook-and-eyes everytime I put it on. So I went…

Quick Poison Ivy update
Got my bodice for Poison Ivy – it’s too big. I’ll be taking it up tonight and then start sewing leaves on. Chase has convinced me to add another costume to the Dcon list; I swear, but it will match his major new one for Dcon, so I was already thinking about it anyway. It’s something I can put together…
