Whoo hoo finished Ocha's ears! Also got started on her jacket vest thingie. But that's all we did last night. I wasn't feeling too great.

LOL Comic Con

Cath called me last night, upset with me 'cause I didn't tell her about this convention that she wanted to go to. LOL! San Diego Comic Con.

Still need to attach the green fur ...

Padme Lake dress updates

Finished most of the work on Amidala last night, except for the dying and the hair thing. Got the necklace finished, and most of the white dress. Just a few little things left to do to it. Today I have to meet mom at the wig shop after I get off work - she wants to help me find a fall/hairpiece for my amidala costume.

Dragoncon parade?

Ash and I are thinking of participating in this parade Dragoncon is having. We think it would be fun. Only thing is, I canNOT figure out what to wear. Shadowcat would be too hot probably, and the heat would probably make my hair fall. Ocha - no. Just NO. My two main choices are either She-Ra or Amidala. She-Ra would be cooler, but Amidala is going to be pretty cool, ...
