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,…

weird myspace comments LOL WUT
I keep meaning to post the silly, weird myspace messages I get, and I always forget. But I remembered today – here’s the latest. Subject: one would assume… message: “…you might have an interest in wrestling since your ionto wearing alot of the attire that could work for it. My wife wrestles and is looking for opponents like you. Please…

when we couldn’t go to C4
I’m really starting to get irritated by something that keeps happening, and it’s not even something I should really be complaining about, because it’s just people attempting to be friendly/nice. No matter how many times I have said, “I’m not going to c4” – people still assume we are. I have it on my myspace page, right there with my…

MTAC 2007 Pics!
So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena — I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by…

Hello from MTAC 2007!
Relaxing in the room here at MTAC for a moment. So far it’s been pretty good. My only complaint about the con itself was finding out “no weapons allowed” just as we got to the door of the dealer’s room – after standing in line for 30 minutes to get there. They said I could check my sword (my fragile…

Belle pink dress progress
All of the light pink parts are just very basically pinned on (except the sleeves). Tonight, I’ll hem the skirt, and attach all those lovely pink parts, put the grommets in the back, and it’s done!

Some Utena progress pics
I haven’t taken a lot of progress pics of Utena, but here’s a couple I have. Here’s the new shoes and socks finished: And here’s my sword hilt, ready for casting:

when i figured up some stats
Obnoxious Costume Stuff I have been really bored at work lately. I went through my costume views and stuff at cosplaylab and came up with some stats. Most Viewed: Belldandy Second most Viewed: Queen Amidala Parade Dress Both of those are because I won 2nd place in the Belldandy look-a-like contest there, and first place in the Padme look-a-like contest,…

Pink Belle progress, and Utena upates
It’s almost done; should finish it tonight. I ran out of pink thread last night, so I’m going to have to get more today. I wasn’t originally going to make the cloak to go with the dress, but I had this velvet laying around – I picked it up in Nashville several months ago, because it was on the clearance…

Utena updates
I got all my Utena pieces cut out today. I used this Vogue pattern – I just used the basic jacket pieces, lengthened them and widened them at the bottom. I’m happy with it so far. It needs to be taken in, and the bottom pieces need reshaped a little (I cut extra wide, so i would have enough, and…

Heart of an Empire premiere
This weekend was an odd mix; not sure I enjoyed the trip, but all in all I’m glad I went, since the movie was good. We set out Friday as soon as Chase got home from work — after several stops (gas, dinner, snacks, stretching legs, changing drivers, etc — you’d think it was a 9 hour drive the way…
