Well kids
Well folks – that’s it for San Diego. This year was no exception, and I’m tired of the stress involved with traveling out there. So that’s it, this was more than likely my last Comic Con. Besides the snafu with the hotel (which was the MARRIOTT GASLAMP for those wondering. I did get a call from the asst. manager after…

Hello from Comic Con 2006! (Again)
For the first time ever… I got called “Vader” while wearing ANH Leia today. I’m about to go upload a few more pics – just the ones from yesterday morning – in my flickr account (see the link in my previous entry). I’ll work on some more of them tomorrow. Yesterday morning I wore the new Lake dress… it went…

Pics from Comic Con 2006!
Here’s more pics! I didn’t take many today – we were busy! I was very excited last night to see Gentle Giant has a giant Animated Style Leia outside their booth!! So that was my first place I wanted to go this morning. I ended up being stuck there for nearly half an hour with people taking pics. It was…

hello from sdcc 2006!
We are here in San Diego! Our flight was smooth – getting into the hotel was not. I’m not going to go into it all, but the kicker was them sticking us in a room with only one bed – and we have 3 people. I called and asked why (because I had just called the hotel monday to confirm…

Lake dress & Mustafar updates
Danielle’s lake dress is nearly done; I spent the afternoon dying the chiffon. Interesting experience… i did it a different way and for the most part i’m pleased with the results. The only thing i was disappointed in was the blue… it faded a LOT, especially at the bottom, so when I dye mine tomorrow I may put the bottom…

Lake Dress and Rogue progress pics!
Padme Lake dress 3.0: The base dresses are put together, and dyed. Haven’t hemmed or put the snap in at the top. Doing that today. I got the chiffon overlay cut out for Danielle’s, and I’ve started edging that. Looks good so far… Tonight I’ll cut my overlay fabric fabric out and start on it. I’m hoping to dye them…

when i made a bingo game
And, in other news, I have either lost a cap or a really big filling in one of my teeth. It doesn’t hurt at all, I noticed after dinner tonight, I realised when I ran my tongue over that last tooth in my mouth it felt… not right. Like the middle of my tooth is missing. I certainly haven’t swallowed…

Mustafar and Lake Padme Progress
Mustafar: I just kinda tossed the hair up for the picture so it’s not right, but here’s everything but the jewelry. Hopefully Chase will be casting those for me tomorrow night. I’m going to make another pregnancy pad – I don’t like that one… it’s just a pillow and it won’t stay put. Those are pants #2. They’re too light,…

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!

Vader, Padme and Rogue updates
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. So back to the drawing board with that. Got Chase’s Vader pants nearly finished, the elastic straps for his feet are partially put on, got the velcro put on…
