Today's fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley's fabric. I'm not using what I got the other day, I don't like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome - the two colours they didn't have at Hobby Lobby the other day. So I've got everything I ...
I finished beading the organza last night ("Beading the organza"... sounds like a euphemism, haha) and finished part of the bodice. I hope to have Belle done this weekend, along with completely finishing Cinderella and Snow White's skirts, and getting a start on their bodices. I reckon I'll have all three finished by next weekend. Hopefully. Also got a start on Ash's costume, finally... and Polychrome.
#1! Our Rebel Legion base split - Freedom Base is now just the upper states (VA, NC, SC, DC) which meant our area (TN, KY, AL and MS) needed a new name - Ash and I were talking about it a while back and I told her I wanted it to be named Corellian Base. We both loved that name so Ash nominated when nominations came up... and it got the ...
For Belle... I've still got to hem the skirt, but I got the overlay finished and I'm about halfway through beading it. I got my shoes and spruced them up a bit, they're so gaudy they crack me up :D Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the rest of the skirt, and try to finish the beading so I can go ahead and attach that and get the zipper put in. ...
I got my gloves and Cath's gloves in the mail today - Cath's are perfect, but mine were too light. (very, very pale yellow) I got some dye out and dyed them - they turned out pretty good. They match the fabric pretty well now. Am pretty happy. I got my basic skirt made for Belle, and laid out the pattern for Cinderella... But tomorrow I'm heading to my grandmother's ...
Went on a buying spree this morning! First, the Disney project: Belle (Me) It's coming along. My mom's ballroom hoopskirt is perfect for it. I got my yellow-gold material for the dress - it's exactly what I wanted from a few months ago. At first I couldn't find out and was bummed because I didn't like anything else at the store. Then my mum found a roll of it on ...
I'm still in San Diego - our flight is at 12:30 today... we're already packed so we're just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good... I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting - this is what Ash and I call the "Famiglia." Don't ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling all day... we have a 4 hour flight to Detroit, and then ...
Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I'd made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I'm thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer - I get to stay at any Marriott, at anytime within a year, for 75% off. Hot HOT ...
