    when calvin got bit by a snake

    Boy! There’s a lot of stuff going on. point 1, My cat Calvin got bit by a snake, we think. Mom saw that his leg was swollen the other morning, and then when I came home, he had licked all the hair off from around the bite, and there were two great big holes right there. The size of the…

    when my hands were bad

    Just got a post in my elfwood gbook about my hands (er, that is, the way I draw hands, not my hands particularly LOL) : “The hands.. Oh, the hands… Please improve your hands. Everything else is great.” LOL, he should have just tossed, “oh, the pain!” in there, too. “The hands… Oh, the hands… oh the pain, the pain…

    when my jeans shrank

    I finally went to artisticalley and posted a few things. I was rather nervous about it. Hopefully there won’t be any “omg, I hate your art, it all looks the same, I hate you” sort of people. *shudders* I really don’t want to go to work or school today. I want to sleep! *yawn* I need to get in better…

    Ocha postponed

    I think I may hold off on Ocha until DragonCon, and go ahead and do Faye for Otakon. Reason for this is, I was planning on wearing Ocha on Sunday at Otakon. That way if the green face makeup stains my skin, it wouldn’t affect other costumes *g* But, we’re going to have leave the hotel at like, 10AM to…

    Ahhhh I left Evey’s off !! Gah. All I can figure is that I saved it to a different folder than the other entries. Is everybody else’s there? That was really dumb of me. I’ll add it as soon as I get home. Got my hair cut, HUZZAH!

    Lulu & Xiaoyu fabric

    Got some black velvet for Lulu’a top, but it’s not like, really velvet. Closer to suede. Looks nice with the grey I’ve got. Which reminds me, found huge bolt of the suede I got for the Lulu skirt and sleeves on the remnant table for 50% off. GAAAHH. Oh well, I didn’t spend that much on it in the first…

    when the winners were chosen

    Well, I’ve got all the SD contest emails sent out but one… that one will be sent out once I get home, so I can look at my notes and make sure I’m sending it to the right person! Gosh it was hard to pick. I’m glad I had judges do the dirty work. There ended up being six judges…

    when i wanted to make an eowyn costume

    Mom’s back from DC. She brought me back a monkey 😀 Think I’ll name it Chico. Sorry to spill a little cosplay talk over here, but… deal! I’ve been looking through all the Eowyn pics I’ve collected so far, and I’m really pleased… my She-Ra wig will work for it, too! Yay! In the handful of actual movie shots I’ve…

    Lulu Belt hunting

    Went to the salvation army yesterday in search of belts. Dad and I ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. They had all these bins of old record albums for $2 each. They weren’t in any kind of order so we just sat around going through them looking for interesting things. Dad ended up buying a Three Dog Night album.…

    when i needed opinions

    Gosh, I had the hardest time logging in last night!! I’d like anyone’s help on the subject of a costume. I was going to post about it here last night but it’s over at my livejournal instead. I forgot to mention there that I don’t particularly want it to be an anime costume. Anyway. Ok ok ok ok, I’ll be…

    Dragoncon!!

    Sorry for the lack of postings lately. Nothing much has been going on. I’m going to go belt hunting this weekend for Lulu. Wish me luck. OH! Oh! There’s an excellent chance I’m going to Dragoncon now, with Cath. Yay 🙂 I’m trying to think of a costume to do for it (only one, I’ll rewear other stuff. I’m doing…

    Dragoncon suggestions

    There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

    when i got roller skate shoes

    Saw Death to Smoochie yesterday. I’m glad Catherine didn’t go see it with us, she would have been permanently scarred from seeing Robin Williams cuss. Easter today was fun. Mema got me those shoes with the roller skates in them. I can’t skate like I used to, I discovered. We played a game. Everybody picked an egg with a number…
