So yesterday we had another little sewing get-together. I finished Lessa (no pics yet), and got started on the base dress for Amidala, and I made one of the accessories for Amidala and Got the top and skirt put together for Ash's costume, and got started on *her* headpiece. Got the skirt for Ash's mom's hobbit costume finished, and I finished her hobbit feet. They crack me up! My masquerade ...
Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that 'i believe in love' song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off... a Some jeans commercial. I don't know what it's for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it's this woman walking down a hall to a version of Lenny Kravitz' 'Are You Gonna Go My Way?' The ...
Lessa: Everything is finished except a few little details. I'm going to finish it tonight. Masq. Costume: Finished except for the headpiece, which is underway. Hermione: Still need to iron the pleats back in, but that's it. Amidala: I got a wig, otherwise I haven't done anything else. I redid my Belldandy antenna yesterday. They look *so* much better. A year and a half and seven cons were beginning to ...
Pictures! my "secret" masquerade costume is ozma, which anybody who has been around my site or my cosplaylab profile would know I've been planning on doing for a long time. Ash and I decided we wanted to keep it under wraps until dragoncon though, so I've stopped mentioning what it is. Anyway, I started on it back before akon but didn't finish it. The dress is finished now (mostly, gotta ...
I have been very worried about paying for the Dragoncon hotel room. Comic Con was really hard to pay for, and only having 2 paychecks between the two cons I knew was going to be hard. So I've been thinking and plotting trying to figure out how to get enough money back on my Mastercard in time for DC, so I can pay for the freaking hotel room. Today I called ...
Indy likes the fur I bought for Lessa. She loves it so much I'm going to have to buy her her own to sleep on, lol.
quick trip to hancock's today, and I got my dark red lining for my PoA cloak, some green ribbon, and some really awesome wolf-looking fur for the lining of my Lessa costume. I don't want to cut it up! I want to use it as a blanket x_x It's so snuggly!! So, dragoncon to-do list... Masq Costume: 75% Main dress is done, shoes are halfway done, accessories are underway. Lessa: 30% ...
Ugh. I have been trying to get stuff ready for this thing I'm doing week after next... it's time consuming and tiresome... on top of trying to get ready for Dragoncon. AUGH. Don't even mention to me the fact that school starts back 2 days before Dragoncon. That's not even on my radar, and it won't be until September 7 (aka, after Dragoncon - that's the problem with Dragoncon - my first ...
Back at easter when I was here at my grandmother's, I found a bolt of brown vinyl that I wanted for my Lessa costume. I didn't get it because I figured if they had it at Hancock in Jackson, they'd have it in Memphis too. Well they didn't, nothing even close. So since I was up here in Jackson this weekend I went to see if they still had it, ...
Comic Con Costumes... Anna - I've got most of materials now. I still need rings for the boot covers, buckles, brown leather, and tassles.

Phoenix - I've got everything I need for this- I just need to get cracking actually finishing it. Dragoncon... Amidala ...
