what I finished, what I didn't get to, and 2010... Here's what I said at the end of 2008 that I'd like to do in 09... 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia - HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I - yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary - yes 4. Belle's Ballgown Remake - still no, waiting on Chase to finish Beast. 5. Princess Nuala - nope 6. Dawn ...
I figured I'd better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess. It took 2 bell carts (as usual) to get us inside, ...
I finally finished digging out the megacon pics Chase missed. Here's the smugmug set. The new pics start at the little boy dressed as Link. I'm just going to post 2 of them, because they're of Kevin. Here he is in his ebay jedi Luke costume again. I need to take it up and find him some better fitting boots. I put so much hairspray in his hair to keep it ...
I've finished my Silk Spectre I costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Honestly I kinda feel really bad we didn't stay at Megacon very long at all. I missed seeing a lot of people I wanted to see and just didn't really have time to enjoy it. But -- like I said in previous posts, Silk Spectre was fun to wear. Starfire was a giant FAIL... and the makeup remover I used to take the orange stuff off irritated my skin, that ...
Thought I'd toss a few pics up here before I head to work. Only one from megacon, still waiting on Chase to send me the rest. Here's a few more of the Sleeping Beauty photoshoot -- still haven't gotten through them all, though. back to real life today... :(
(edit: This might be the absolutely worst featured image header I've done so far.) Well everything is basically done, I guess. Costumes are packed and in a box in my car to be shipped out today. Still got to finish packing regular clothes and stuff tonight. Our flight is at 1 tomorrow, we should be in Orlando around 4:30ish, if the plane is on time :) Chase is taking his laptop so ...
Silk Spectre: put lace in wrist cuff put new clasp on garter belt replace straps on bodice Zatanna: put boning in vest Starfire: dye bodysuit fix strap on chest piece
I got the rings sewn in place on the front of the cincher, that took up the bulk of yesterday because I'm so slow at hand-sewing (meaning I sew a little bit, get distracted, sew a little bit, get distracted...). I got the buttons sewn on the gloves and the dress attached to the collar. Tonight once I get home (going to a tennis tournament after work, Chase is working ...
sorry I haven't posted much!! been busy ;) The new waist cincher... putting the rings in the front tonight. I'm hoping to finish it off tonight. Once I do I can put it on and get the hem of the "dress" part marked and cut off and finished, that'll be this weekend. I need to finish off the top edge of the dress part and get it attached to the collar. ...
