I knowwwww I just posted yesterday and normally I try to put more space between posts BUT yesterday was a big day. And it IS DragonCon season which means I'm working on a lot of stuff and multiple posts in a week should be expected & allowed. Ok let's get the bad out of the way. Well I'm not going to call it bad. I'm going to call it colossally ...
I usually post Monday and apparently I didn't since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I'm going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about... yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...
So as I mentioned earlier I've been trying to put together a hairpiece for my Queen Amidala costume. This is something I've tried to do for ages -- finally attempted it in 2010 but gave up. So here we are again. Trying to make a hairpiece for a 12 year old costume. But if I can make this work it means I don't have to torture my hair when I wear this. ...
Had a great weekend in Nashville. Went to Cheesecake Factory, the Container Store (so excited - we don't have one in Memphis but we went to the one in Little Rock for my aunt's birthday last year LOL), Antique Archaeology (the American Pickers store), and then spent the rest of the night filming video for Ryan's concert. Had lunch with my grandparents on the way home yesterday. Going through old ...
WOW!! The Make-a-Wish event in Clarksville yesterday was awesome! The event was supposed to be from 1-3, we ended up staying until 4 because there were SO many people there, still waiting in line to get pictures with us! I couldn't believe how many people showed up -- we raised almost $1400! I didn't take many pictures, but here they are, in my 2007 Trooping folder. Here's one group pic I found: Chase ...
So what's up with me, you ask? I did something to my foot last weekend. Every single one of my costumes had uncomfortable shoes (the worst being Hild, Phoenix, and Anna) and it was a LOT of walking. So my feet were still numb by the time I got back. Well my left foot is still bothering me. Mom thinks I broke a blood vessel or something. Whatever. Yesterday I ...
I finished my Padme Loyalist Committee costume and have added it to my portfolio!
I've been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven't slept in days and I'm so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then had a couple of hours to wait. We had breakfast at McDonald's, ...
I am a nervous wreck. I'm up at 7 AM because I couldn't sleep thinking about this weekend. I'm skipping my classes today - I would be completely useless. It would be pointless. I AM going to work though, that will keep me busy with things I need to do and may also calm my nerves. If I were off today I don't know what I'd do all day, just wander ...
And now... Amidala is finished enough. Susan is finished. Found my bra and fixed my hat. Everything is shipping out today. Everything except Teela. :\ Didn't finish it last night - it's going to have to ride in my suitcase. I finished everything except the snakey things on her chest... so I'm finishing that tonight.
