So Tuesday last week I had a sore throat, Wednesday I had no voice. Thursday day I felt OK just tired and I had started coughing. Now it's turned into a little cold and I've been hacking up a lung for the past couple of days. But beyond that, Thanksgiving was nice. We had the family lunch and then went home and slept the rest of the day. Leftovers for ...
So at the end of 2009, this is what I said I wanted to accomplish this year: 1. Bespin Leia - still not a thing done :) dang it. 2. Belle's Ballgown - same. :) dang it. 3. Batgirl - nope. dropped it due to $$. 4. Belle's Christmas Dress - nope. just never got to it. 5. Ame-Comi Black Canary - nope. replaced it with a different Ame-Comi. 6. Magik from New Mutants - yes! 7. Marie Antoinette - nope. ...
I've finished my Briar Rose costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Started off yesterday getting up at 6am with a migraine, and getting dressed as warm as possible to go out to Race for the Cure. We weren't running but went to cheer on friends, it was fun and our t-shirts turned out great - I don't have a pic of one yet but I'll post one when I do. I really wish it were warm enough at that time of ...
So here's my Ame-Comi Supergirl with the new wig: And here's one of me and Kevin: It was freaking COLD in the hotel so I didn't stay in it long. I was freezing to death! I put on Wonder Girl after that, and ended up wearing my hoodie over it most of the time. Here's Wonder Girl: Me with the Apparition Abolishers: Kevin being all jedi: Briar Rose is almost ...

here's a pic: Forgot to say this this morning. Someone on the Beauty and the Beast LJ comm posted this cute keepsake box they have on the Disney Rewards site. The poster said they'd gone through their dvds and managed to get enoug points to get it. I thought, I might be able to do that too - and I was! With 50 points left over. Little disappointed that some of ...
Costumes: I got the boning put in my Briar Rose bodice, and got the outer layer cut out and put together. I pinned the two sides together but haven't sewn them up yet. I need to pick up some grommets, some lining for the shirt, and get my skirt fabric. I found something I really liked at Joanns, but they didn't have enough of it - I just got a 40% ...
I just deleted my livejournal. Anyway - post-dragoncon... I've updated my site with all the new stuff. Here's my flickr gallery - I still have more to add once Chase sends them to me. And here's our video of the parade. It's a time lapse tilt shift video, I think it's pretty neat. In other news, working on Briar Rose for Halloween. :)
Had the gang over for my birthday last night. We watched the rifftrax of New Moon, and let me say our new(er) Bluray player is MUCH better at pausing and starting than our old cheapie dvd player! Chase made cheese fondue for dinner and chocolate for dessert, the chocolate one was the best chocolate he's ever made, it was soo yummy. So it was a lot of fun :) So ...
