    MidSouthCon 2008 pics

    Friday night – like I said we didn’t go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn’t fun going…

    Belle pics and more Scarlet Witch updates

    Last night I cut out my boot covers, hemmed my cape, and did a lot of dyeing. It took several rounds but I finally got the fabric about the right colour, I’m ok with it. Chase also finished the necklace and armbands for the Lake Dress last night — he was going to paint them at work today, so hopefully…

    Scarlet Witch progress

    I dyed my bodysuit last night – easy enough. I also dyed my gloves and the briefs to better match the cape material. I got the cape cut out and put together – I need to hem it and it’s finished. So I spent the better part of the night trying to decide what to do about the bodice. The…

    relief

    We have a minister! The current senior minister at my church is able to do the service! I’ve honestly not met him before – he’s only been there just a little over a year or so now – we don’t go all that often, and when we do, we go to the contemporary service, because dad plays guitar for it.…

    Belle Library updates

    Well no pics last night, at least none of me. I did finally finish re-sewing the sleeves onto my green Belle dress, and took some pics of it – The sleeves finally stay up properly… I wanted to try to take pictures of it outside this weekend, but it looks like we’re supposed to get a lot of rain… so…

    Things I need to do a photoshoot with

    I really want to pull out the backdrop and do a photoshoot tonight. I need to finish sewing my other green Belle sleeve on, and I could take pics of it tonight. I also reeeeeeally need to dig out my “doll” Leia costume I made for Dragoncon and never wore, and take pics of it. I also want to take…

    Snow!

    We got maybe 4in of snow here yesterday… everybody got off work early and Chase & I played in it, and made a Snow Snoopy. I was going to get up early this morning and put Hoth Leia on and take some pics outside, but I ended up not feeling like it… plus since dad obviously hasn’t cut the grass…

    oh, ups!

    So one day last week at work, none of the folks who normally accept our deliveries from UPS or Fedex were there yet when UPS started banging on the door. So I had to go do it, which I hate doing, but that’s another story. The driver was friendly, he chatted about basketball and the weather while fishing our packages…

    Con Nooga 2008 Pics

    Ok, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. We’ve just been so busy! We didn’t take many – we were very lazy about pics. I was not in a good mood because I went to put my green Belle dress on saturday morning- and the sleeves looked horrible. That’s what I get for waiting last minute, I…

    Belle Library dress progress

    “Great costumes!” thanks! “Are they all yours?” no, most of them I stole. don’t tell anybody. Move, Indiana! Anyway, I finished the bodice last night – got all the grommets in, and it was actually the easiest job I’ve ever had of it – I didn’t ruin any of them so I didn’t need my extras! My to-do list for…

    Padme Lake dress finished!!

    I put it on the mannequin to take some finished pics, since the mannequin has arms to hold the sleeves up. She’s considerably taller than me, so the train isn’t as long as it should be, but it still works! And a few on the dressform too:

    hair practice

    Went to Frankie yesterday for him to practice the style I wanted for the wedding day 🙂 Luckily it coincided with Chase & mine’s Valentine’s Day dinner, so I took advantage of having nice hair and I was finally able to make use of my new dress I’ve had for months, LOL. But anyway – I’m quite happy with it,…
