Jupiter isn't going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it's about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven't bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn't be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there's no time to worry with Jupiter. :( Oh well - I'll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
I'm trying to figure out what else to take to A-Kon. Jupiter is NOT going to happen...if I rushed I could get it done... but I'm not all that excited to do it at the moment, I'd rather focus on the next Arwen, so I pushed Jupiter back to MTAC next year. Anyway - For A-Kon, I'm definitely taking regular Belldandy, and most likely Mara Jade (if I can ...
MidSouthCon is in a week and 2 days!! :D I'm so excited! The weekend is going to be so busy. Here's the schedule: Friday: I'll probably get there around 6:30 or so, get my badge... opening ceremonies are at 8 - I'll be there in my Imperial Officer uniform. As soon as that's over, I'm heading home and changing and then heading into Wolfchase for the Toys R Us midnight Star Wars opening. ...
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 ...
For no reason, here's my travel schedule thus far this year (cons and otherwise) March - Jackson for spring break, don't have exact dates yet. MidSouthCon - April 2-4. Celebration III/Indianapolis - April 20-24 A-Kon/Dallas - June 3-5 Comic Con/San Diego - July 13-17 Dragoncon/Atlanta - uh, September 2-5 I think. Maybe sometime mid April go to Sewanee for a weekend, dunno. Nashville for a weekend ...
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 ...
I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear to Shadowcon. Heres the things I thought of: Anna - the only problem I'd have with this is curling my hair, and it would be cold. Arwen Wedding - it's such a pain to wear, and the fabric on the sleeves is pulling apart - if I wear it again it will really be the end of it. Dark Phoenix ...
I got mine and my father's plane tickets for Celebration III - now I just need to get Ash's. I registered for Akon. Next year... I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I'm thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it's going to depend on how things look at the beginning of the year. MidSouthCon- I'm ...
For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I'm leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it's just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed to my crap last minute one from 2002). Celebration III- Obi-Wan ...
