    Ms Marvel progress!

    We were able to get Thursday night added to our Marriott reservation for Dragoncon!!! We had to pay regular rate for that night, but worth it to not deal with moving our stuff from our friend’s hyatt room during the day friday! I’m so relieved! 🙂 We are thinking of doing something different this year – driving to Nashville wednesday…

    Indy is feeling better. She puked a few more times yesterday afternoon. I did what the vet said last time and waited 6 hours since last puke before letting her eat again. She held down the little bit I gave her before bed last night, and so far she’s held down her breakfast. I pulled out the rug I was…

    Dragoncon 2010 plans

    I’m obsessing over our Dragoncon room situation at the moment (it appears we have 2 reservations at the Marriott Marquis. Neither of them have Thursday which is a pain in the ass, they’re both Fri-Mon… and 1 reservation for another Marriott in downtown. THANKS crappy housing system. We’re going to have to move from our friend’s room in the Hyatt…

    Starting out on Jane, Tiana art

    I have been busy! Yesterday was crazy at work due to several mixups, then I got home to find Indy had thrown up everywhere. I spent an hour cleaning all that up. The only thing that really works is Oxi-clean, which has bleach in it, so while it cleans the puke up really well, it leaves the spot on the…

    Shelob, and today’s art

    Well of course since yesterday was Drizella then today has to be Anastasia. So neither of my “ugy stepsisters” are very “ugly”… I based them on the park versions I found on flickr. They were really cute! Cath and I talked about going as Anastasia & Drizella for Dragoncon but I’ve got so much on my plate now it would…

    Estate Sale pics

    Had a really fun day with Dad and @LindenAsh at the Estate sale. Basically the house was built around the Civil War, and has belonged to the same family up until a month ago when the last family member died. We got there around 11:30 and the line was stretched back out a ways. They were only letting around 60…

    today’s art, Ariel

    today’s princess is Ariel! I’m so close to being caught up and out of drawings… it sucks! I only have 2 more to post. I drew a lot last night, so over this weekend I’m hoping to get a little bit of padding in there. (doing this while trying to sew, too, I want to finish my skirt this weekend.)…

    today’s art… Pocahontas

    I put Pocahontas in an Elizabethan dress 🙂 This one took forever. We’re going to try to work in the prop room this weekend. We need to get stuff moved away from one wall at least so we can start painting. Once we get a couple of walls done we can start putting up shelves, then we can unpack the…

My Viv from Pretty Woman Ms. Marvel boots came yesterday! I’m going to make boot covers for them so that match the rest…

    Continuing Star Wars costumes I want to do! Bespin Leia – duh! I’ve had this sort-of put together since 2006. I pulled it back out earlier this year to start on it again – I’ve decided to scrap the material I had and start over with a different fabric. I’m hoping to have it done later this year. (edit: finally…

    Indy and her wine

    Back when we were at the apartment, I bought Indy a new toy – a stuffed dog toy that looks like a bottle of wine. She didn’t really seem to care for it and never played with it. Well last week I found it when I was unpacking a box of stuff that was under the kitchen sink (no clue…
