We went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Orpheum recently, and I (in the middle of all my other projects) for some reason decided to put together a Marion Ravenwood costume. I drew up the shirt designs in photoshop and heat-transferred them onto the shirt. The shirt I made using leftover fabric and a pattern. Bought the pants and shoes, and the waistband was from Blossom. Here ...
Yep, despite having doused myself with Off last night, I still got about 9 bites while outside dyeing my Endor poncho yesterday evening. I have decided to make a little experiment of them, and trying various home remedies... so far using deodorant seems to be the best. Well enough about that, this is my costume journal not my mosquito bite journal. First off, I was very bad and actually bought a ...
I've been pretty well KO'ed by sinus mess for a week and a half or so now... sucks! I think it's behind me now, though. Here's a few quick updates... Doll Leia - got the bottom and top made, the top needs to be fixed (one side hangs funny, need to pick it out and do it again), and needs the cuffs added. I want to try to finish it ...
Travel for Dragoncon is finally completely arranged! We've had our room at the marriott for a while; but we rented our van last week. We paid a little extra to be able to pick it up the wednesday before and drop it off tuesday instead of monday. So we don't have the rush trying to check out monday and get back to return the van this year! Josh is not ...
I've been out of town since thursday, and came home today to find my box had arrived! Oooh, the excitement! The fellow who owned it before (who was working on it for his wife, and then they apparently decided not to finish it, and sold me everything they had for it) has already done some work, but it's still got a looooooong way to go. Chase and I decided not ...
Well, yesterday, I spent a whole lot of money that I probably shouldn't have, but in the long-run I figure it's a deal. I now have the bulk of a project I wasn't going to even start on for a long time winging its way to me as I type this. As a result, I'm probably going to delay most of the other costumes I had wanted to start on ...
Weekend after next is St Patrick's Day; we're planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I'm - hopefully - wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I'm a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go. We're still going; I'm just not all that excited ...
