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 ...
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour's worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn't care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I'd tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it's not too cold out. 2. Black Canary This costume was SO freaking comfortable! I really fell ...
Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said "NO!") and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a while. Didn't take any pics that morning (lazy!). Then ...
I took a few pics of things before I went to work this morning. My Starfire suit, just pinned on the dressform since I can't put it on there. Doesn't look that great pinned on, oh well, you get the idea anyway. The only part on this piece that's not finished is the front section - that will be attached to my undersuit, so I'm waiting to finish that part ...

Well let's see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn't do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It's all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white shirt, because otherwise they wouldn't stay up high enough ...
Went to the fabric store last night, it was a successful trip! I got the lining for the snowbunny cape, the yellow satin I need for the "special" belle. I got my pattern for the wonder woman bodice. But best of all I found fabric for Glinda that I just squealed when I saw it. At first I thought there wasn't enough on the bolt - I wanted 10 yards - ...
Starfire - I got my wig, I need to start working on it - unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn't fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I've got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit... and Chase has been working on the gauntlets. I'm excited. WW ...
