when there was a lot of rain
We’re all fine here. Just a lot of rain. Nothing bad so far. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too, so we just have to worry about flooding. Luckily I don’t have school tomorrow so I don’t have to drive all the way into town, I just have to go to work. We’ll probably be slammed at work, since…

Disney Princess Costumes FINISHED
All the princesses are done 🙂 Cinderella looks a bit dumpy in that picture because it doesn’t fit my dressform – the yellow tint of the ceiling light looks pretty icky on it, too. Snow White’s collar isn’t perfect, but it’ll do. All is done on Ash’s costume except putting the zipper in – that’ll be the only thing that…

Princesses & Leia Rebel updates
Yesterday I went to Hancock for some last minute things. I also got some done on Leia. Working on Snow White’s collar now – once I finish that, all I need to do is add the cuffs, and do the bows for the shoes and hair, and finish her slip. Reckon I can do that today. For Leia, I need…

Which just leaves Leia and Polychrome. If Polychrome doesn’t get finished I won’t…

when i didn’t watch firefly
Here’s the thing: I KNOW I would love Firefly if I would watch it. I know I would. It’s Joss, and it’s space, of course I’d love it… but I think that’s why I won’t watch it. I don’t feel like getting into anything else right now. I dunno, I’m weird like that. I think I’ll ask for the dvd…

when i bought tickets for cats
SOooooo. I bought tickets to see Cats when it comes here in October. Yay. Yelled at MBNA today; please, everybody, NEVER get a card or credit line through MBNA. They are horrid. Now, I’m going to… um… go away and do something else.

Cinderella progress pic
Cinderella: Anyway, the corset wasn’t finished when I took this tonight (it is now). The only thing left to do is fix the hem (it was screwy first time around) and add the silver parts to the shoulders (where those straps are hanging down, that’s what they’ll be attached to), and the parts to the hips, and her neckband –…

AUUUGH!!!! DRAGONCON!!!!!!! Good lord, I haven’t been this excited about a convention in ages!! :B I’ve got to get some of this energy out of my system!!

when i couldn’t tell if spiders
OOOOOOOOH! Now I remember what I was going to say! So this afternoon, I was working hard on stuff. I had been cutting and shaving foam rubber for a long time, and it was everywhere, and I felt yucky. So I went to take a shower. So I get in the shower, turn it on, and notice someTHINGS floating in…

when i got a lot done because the internet was down
The internet has been down most of the day, so I’ve gotten a lot done costume-wise today. Yay.

when i found random photos
I finally put batteries in the little camera yesterday, to take a pic of my finished Belle costume, and I found some old pics on the memory card I don’t think I ever took off. Indy asleep!! Awwww. My Amidala petal cape in progress – I was pinning them on here! At this point I thought I had enough, but…

Two more weeks… Cinderella and Stitch updates
Due to the internet being down today, plus actually feeling pretty well for the first time in a few days, I managed to get a bit done today. On Ash’s costume, I got quite a bit done. I redid one part of it to look much better, and finished one of the major pieces. I had been putting that particular…

Finished Belle! Preview Pic
Finished it!! Well, except for the yellow hairband, and I didn’t have my hair fixed (I just threw it up like this), but here it is… I’m very pleased with it! Cinderella is getting there, too… I still need to hem the skirt, hem the corset, put the boning in, put the grommets in, and do the silver parts on…

Snow White and Cinderella Progress Pics
Haven’t gotten much done the past couple of days. Right now, I’ve got the dressform w/Belle on it sitting in the living room and the puppy is running like a crazy person in circles around it. Hee. I’ve packed a bit the past few days, finally got stuff out from San Diego and moved it to new boxes, haha. Mostly…
-
Belle progress…
Hee!! I’ll be finished with Belle tomorrow. I finished the bodice today, all hemmed, got the grommets in, and all. I’ve still got to do the shoulder pieces and put the jewels on but neither should take long. Yay 😀 Also made more good progress with Ash’s costume, I’m very pleased with how it’s coming out. Those two things are…

Man
Aw man. The 501st photoshoot at Dragoncon is set for 2pm! Instead of in the morning! Which means I can’t do it. It’s smack in the middle of the day. I was planning on putting on Mara in the morning for the photoshoot, and then switching to Starfire until the masquerade, since wearing Star requires time to put on/take off…

Fabric Shopping… Princesses, Rebel Leia, etc
Today’s fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley’s fabric. I’m not using what I got the other day, I don’t like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome – the two colours they didn’t have at…

Beading the Organza
I finished beading the organza last night (“Beading the organza”… sounds like a euphemism, haha) and finished part of the bodice. I hope to have Belle done this weekend, along with completely finishing Cinderella and Snow White’s skirts, and getting a start on their bodices. I reckon I’ll have all three finished by next weekend. Hopefully. Also got a start…

when we found toys in the trash
I forgot to mention this yesterday! C, Kevin and I were taking trash out at work yesterday. C and I were up on the back dock getting it all in order and Kevin was outside, pulling it off the dock and putting it in our dumpster. Kevin said “There’s an elbow in here!” And C and I freaked out a…

Random thoughts
#1! Our Rebel Legion base split – Freedom Base is now just the upper states (VA, NC, SC, DC) which meant our area (TN, KY, AL and MS) needed a new name – Ash and I were talking about it a while back and I told her I wanted it to be named Corellian Base. We both loved that name…
