Various Updates and whatnots

I've been playing "Godfinger" on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway - after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn't have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts that I think will work well for the Gaga wig), ...

state of affairs: Dcon2010 costumes

A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven't touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I'd say it's at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt together. I'd say it's at 75% Surprise #1: Been making ruffles. Need to ...

costume catch up

So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn't really go over it. I thought I'd post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I've got the top basically made. I've got the organza cut to cover it, but haven't put it on yet - I'm worried I might run out since I'm using the same organza on costume #3, and if I do I don't want to end ...

2008 in review

What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn't, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff - to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the wedding and our move after everything kinda got settled I tried ...

2005 Year in Review!

I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I'd do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I'm still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...

Possible Costume Lineups

tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new - only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma.
