Adventurecon 2007 Schedule, & updates
Normally I’m off at a con this weekend! Nope, this year it’s next weekend. The good news – Chase is getting off early friday, around 2. So we’ll be pulling into Knoxville around 9. Not really enough time to do anything that night, unfortunately, but better than 2 or 3 in the morning. I have no idea when I’m going…

when we saw a 3 hour long pirate movie
I felt fine before going to the doctor yesterday. Yesterday afternoon afterwards, started feeling icky and weird. Still do. It’s just like when the doctor asks if your throat hurts, you say no, then he sticks that stupid stick down your throat to look, and after that your throat hurts. I’m always like, “trashball, it was fine before you stuck…

Sewing Machine Woes and Ewok Village Leia
Well, the sewing machine still isn’t back – we’re getting it back today. Mum went to pick it up the other day, and the guy hadn’t dropped it off at the store – apparently he only visits that particular store on fridays, which he neglected to tell us. But, I did mostly finish my wig. It actually needs to be…

Adventurecon 2007 schedule
We don’t know what time we’re getting there friday night – we’re hoping chase can get a halfday off work so we can leave memphis by noon or one. If we do that, then i’ll be able to have time to go to the con that night — if not, we won’t be able to leave memphis until like, 6…

it’s ALIVE!!! & Ewok Village Leia updates
So the sewing machine has been cleaned and fixed, and is coming home today. I was a little worried because the guy called friday, asking us to please call about the sewing machine… and then we couldn’t get in touch with him all weekend. We were all worried it was something serious! (it was like a call from a doctor……

hee
chase sent me a card today and this was the message: “I thought this was cute… just remember, when the plastic fades, the costumes go to storage and seasons change, I will still love you. Beyond all the things we do, you and me are *us* regardless of anything else but our love. Yes I wrote that myself LOL.. I…

Interesting Night
We’re house-sitting/Kevin-sitting for my aunt and uncle again this week, just for a few days… got there from work yesterday afternoon, and after being online for about 10 minutes, the internet went out. That’s happened at their house before, and it’s come back after a few minutes, but not this time. It never came back. It was still out this…

In which I am an idiot
So I go to leave for work this morning, and realise my keys are not on the key rack. I think to myself, where are my keys? I think back… to saturday… and I can see my keys perfectly, I know exactly where they are, they’re in Chase’s car’s glove compartment. And he’s at work. So I had to call…

Funeral Padme and Ewok Leia updates
I almost finished the dress of the Padme water gown this weekend. I need to get it fitted a little better (it’s too baggy and big), and get it hemmed, and then onto dying and all that fun stuff, but I’m pretty pleased with it thus far. The fabric I bought for it, I originally had planned to use the…

The sewing machine is back..
The sewing machine is back, because my mum forgot to drop it off at the store. D’oh. Tomorrow I’m going to get the main pieces cut out for the dress of the Padme water gown. I really need to do some experimenting with the velvet for outer cape. I may put the nightgown away again for a while, because I’d…

Errands
So like, my myspace page is all clean now. Tomorrow is busy busy, got to make a run to the bank, then to Ash’s graduation, followed by a lunch in honour of her graduation, another trip to the Botanic Garden, Target (again!), then we have a little free time finally, then Chase has his first softball game at 8 (at…

Padme Nightgown & Ewok Leia progress!
I ran out of thread for the Ewok dress Tuesday night, so I pulled out the Padme steel blue nightgown again. I finally hemmed the other wing (which was starting to fray pretty badly after just laying around in a box since October), and got them pinned on to the back of the dress…. only to decide I didn’t like…

Disney Wedding DVD
Guitar Hero is fun, but my hands and arm are sore! LOL So I got a Disney Wedding dvd. We’re not having our wedding there, no way, but I figure this is the only time in my life I can order that thing and not get laughed at! So the book came yesterday, it’s real pretty, but no DVD. I…

Ewok Village Leia progress!
I worked a little bit on it yesterday, but our sewing machine is in horrible shape – mum is going to take it in for cleaning this week. Hopefully that will help – it’s skipping stitches like nobody’s business. Anyway – I still need to work on the shape of the neckline, put the sleeves in, take it in a…

Poster stuff
Well the poster (and the silly drama that went with it) ended up being worth it. Made a killing! After paying for some printing, it leaves me with enough to pay a big chunk of what we owe for the photographer. Whoohoo. We went to see Hot Fuzz last night. It was awesome. This weekend, Ash graduates (whoohoo!) – apparently…

The costumes that never were…
While cleaning the other day I came across printed references and drawings I’d gotten together for costumes I ended up not doing. I thought it would be funny to look back and see what I had planned to do, but never did. I tried to figure out the year/con I was planning it for, if I could remember. I didn’t…

Ceremonial Leia Pics!
Chase & I were out and about today, and picked up a copy of The Making of Star Wars. We wanted it anyway, but after hearing there was a pic of Carrie Fisher in the ceremonial dress that I’d never seen before, I really wanted it! Yeah, after seeing that, I REALLLLLY am itching to fix mine!! I’m going to…

Art Post: The Wizard of Oz poster
So, yeah, I got talked into doing another poster for this semester’s play. I really wasn’t planning to, but Rach called thursday last week and asked if I would. That gave me a week. I kinda freaked out, I just knew it was going to be pushing it, I’d have to stay up all night the night before, etc. Well,…
