Horrorfest 2006 pics and Whatnot
Friday we went and saw The Prestige. I left my phone at the restaurant and we had to go back for it. Geez. Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible headache and eyeache. I took some advil and it went away, but I was left with a lingering feeling of slight ickiness the rest of the day. I got…

Hoth Leia pics!
Here’s some better pics of my finished Hoth Leia… still going to make the arm thing pretty soon, but for now it’s done. It was pretty comfortable but I still want to redo the back of the jumpsuit. I can’t sit in it without undoing the neck as it is now. It was also nice and warm… however on saturday…

Hoth Leia preview
12:30 at night doesn’t make for the best pictures, particulary with our horrid lighting in the kitchen, but I wanted to show that it’s basically finished. Still got my rank badge, and arm thing (arm thing won’t be ready for this weekend, but rank badge will). Tonight I’ve got a couple of things I want to do: belt loops on…

I worked a little bit last night, but the sewing machine was being horrid to me so I quit (I swear, the needle came unthreaded three times in the space of, like, 5 minutes. The last time I just quit. I had been up since 5:45 yesterday,…

Padme Nightgown, Dorothy, etc
I worked for a while tonight, and got some good stuff done! Padme’s Nightgown – Got the basic thing put together. I really don’t like this McCall’s pattern – it’s strange. I used it for the basic pieces, made it larger to take out the fitted aspect of the bodice, and completely eliminated the bonig. The way they had the…

when i had to be careful not to search for babies
I enjoy looking at one of a kind dolls on ebay every once in a while, when I’m bored. Some of it is so incredibly, like this Arwen and Asfaloth set. I mean, WOW! However, next time I decide to do this search, I must remember to type in “ooak dolls -baby” Ok, some of them are very beautifully sculpted…

Halloween 2006 plans!

Ice Cream Social Pics!
Last night was fun! Cold Stone Creamery’s Ice Cream Social for Make a Wish. It was a little cold though – I’m going to have to start digging out stuff I can wear under Leia for the Christmas parades. At least I can layer underneath that dress! LOL One lady there with her kids told me they had just bought…

Leia belt damage
I’ve done jack in the way of costumes lately – but my grandmother gave me a hancocks gift card for my birthday, and it’s burning a hole in my pocket, so tomorrow morning I’m going to go see if I can’t make use of it. What I’ll get, I have no idea. I forgot to mention in my Dragoncon wrap…

Back from my Birthday Weekend in Nashville!
I’m back from a WONDERFUL weekend in nashville! Friday night we went out and got Chase’s new phone, then we went and ate at the Cheesecake Factory! I love eating there, we don’t have one in Memphis (that I know of), so it’s a treat. I had the vanilla bean cheesecake and it was soooo good, especially with the strawberrys…

Upcoming Costume Schedules
There are five or six projects I want to work on over the winter months. Dorothy, which might hit the backburner. I was going to make it for halloween – still might – but now I’m not going to be in Memphis to do the group with everybody that weekend so it kinda makes it pointless. However, I might go…
