Atlanta St. Pat's Parade I've never done this event before, and it's still not 100% that I'm going to go, but if I can hitch a ride... Wearing regular Princess Leia, most likely, if not, battle Padme with new shinguards. MidSouthCon Friday I'll just be there for a couple of hours most likely. I'll be staying at the hotel sat night this year, for the first time ever! Friday - Mara ...
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 ...
Rough day at work :I haven't done a darn thing on my halloween costume, either. I don't have anything done for class tomorrow. I'm going to go take a nap.
I've actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals... and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I'm in love, haha. I painted my shoes for Padme - I wasn't going to, they were ok looking, ...
I haven't updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday... but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to do the tan hood thing, or a cape. I'm thinking ...
I watched The Exorcist on my computer the night before last. It was about halfway through, and my computer just shut down out of nowhere. It was plugged into the wall and everything.. it just shut down. It was creepy. Then last night, I watched the Director's Commentary, which I always do. That's a big draw for me, for a DVD - commentaries! I love commentaries! But the one on ...
As of yesterday morning I became the proud mom of my very own serger :) I'm so excited! I can't wait to start learning to use it. I have an appointment for weekend after next, the lady at the store is going to show me the basics. I saw Phantom of the Opera last night. Before I left the house, mom made me promise I wouldn't come home wanting to make ...
Remember how I posted about that church with the sign, and I was trying to describe the kind of things they put on there? I used "Seven days without prayer makes one weak" as an my example... Guess what their sign says this week? Weeeeird. Are they like, stalking me? LJ is down which kinda cancels the post I was about to make there, so what the hey, I'll make ...
tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new - only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma. MidSouthCon (April 1-3, Memphis) Padme Parade gown (which is what I'm working on now - I have 3 months to finish it, so it *should* be done... if not, it'll be at CIII) Celebration III (April 21-24, Indianapolis) Qui-Gon Jinn (for my dad) Mara Jade (MAYBE... it all depends on ...
Semester before last in my Faust class, I did some costume designs for the three major characters in part one (Faust, Mephistopheles, and Gretchen), because I thought maybe I could make one of them as my final project (but I didn't have time). I think I may work some more on one, probably either Meph's or Gretchen's (most likely Meph's), and maybe make it for Dragoncon next year. That would ...
