Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls' room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled - they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy to get on - the only drama was getting Chase's Han ...
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart - she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with the Rebel Legion, since Chase was wearing part of his Han ...
Well, actually I'll start on Thursday :) Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to actually be there Thursday morning but was unable to make it, ...
I finished the designs on marasiah, yesterday, and also got my boots attached. Most of yesterday was spent on my endor poncho. I had to remake it - I'll explain why, later. It didn't take long - probably two hours, and I fixed some of the problems with the first one. Last night we ended up mostly doing nothing -- I read a lot, we went to the grocery store, ...
Didn't feel very well last night - so I spent a while just laying in bed, watching Law Order and sewing on the rest of the bloodstripes, and picking out that seam on doll Leia I needed to. I finished both! Hurrah, I guess, LOL. Before that I did get my Boushh tunic cut out. Somehow one of the front pieces is smaller than it should be, but a little ...
I've started having dragoncon dreams - a little later than usual! Two weeks from now I go pick up the van... eek. We're actually hoping to be in Atlanta around 7 or so on Thursday. That's the earliest we've ever gotten there, except for 2005 when we got there Thursday afternoon because we had Phantom of the Opera tickets. Anyway - we figured out the Boushh knees last night, and Chase thinned ...
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven't done anything with them in ages, and I've got so much left to do on everything else, I don't know when I'd have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops, and worked on the Padme cape and my Wonder Woman ...
well, i can no longer get on the internet at home, something is wrong with my laptop's wireless thingie. I can use dad's computer, though, but I hate being cooped up in the computer room. I suppose it's a blessing - keeps me working. Endor Leia - finished sewing the pleated section on the base helmet - donut is finished, except for adding the bill. Tonight I'm hoping to finish ...
Been busy with Harry Potter stuff -- no pics from the bookstore party, since I forgot to get my camera out of the car. I wore Hermione and burnt up, since we ended up standing outside in line most of the night. There weren't many interesting costumes, either -- we had a really good Snape there, an Umbridge, and... a really terrible Darth Vader. Go figure. I wore the whole ...
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 ...
