    Ornaments and Hair!

    Chase and I bought our first two Christmas ornaments together – Wall-e and Beauty and the Beast 🙂 I won’t be doing Leia at events for a while – I was tired of my hair and told Frankie to do whatever he wanted to it, so he dyed it purple yesterday. It eventually fade to a deep, deep burgundy once…

    Costume Plans

    I didn’t work on anything tonight – I’m fighting off a headache, I really do not want to still have my head aching Saturday at the Make-a-Wish thing. But! I had to post because we got our Megacon flights booked today. I’m SUPER excited, I’ve heard good things about the con and it’s been forever since we’ve gone to a…

    Ahsoka and Belle updates

    I got my fabric for Ahsoka yesterday, finally, and ripped my mockups up and got the skirt basically put together, but around that time realised I didn’t have any kind of matching thread so couldn’t do any top-stitching or finishing on it. I forgot to go get thread today, too. So tonight I cleaned my Belle dress. The back of…

    Halloween 2008 Photos!!

    So Friday, I decided not to wear Poison Ivy to work, for the main reason I couldn’t lace it up by myself! I pulled out Hermione instead. So instead of matching Kevin as the Joker I matched Ash, who wore her Slytherin robes. Got to work and very quickly did Kevin’s hair and makeup and had him put the vest…

    Kevin as Joker

    Kevin at work today. Just a halfway sort of thing since he’s still got to actually work at work 🙂 He’ll have the rest of it on for handing out candy tonight.

    Sleeping Beauty nearly done

    All that’s left is sewing the collar in place, and putting a few snaps in on the back to hold it down. And i need to iron it. Chase is painting my crown today so I can sew it into my wig tonight. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out.

    the workroom – 10/30

    Here’s some more progress on the prop room. We finally got the other shelves up, and unpacked a few more things. The boxes migrated. We’re going to be working on it some more tonight, to try to get it passable for having company over this weekend.

    Sleeping Beauty progress

    I ended up being sick yesterday and stayed home from work, but I managed to get a little bit done. Since then the chiffon skirt has mostly been hemmed (sewing machine messed up after finishing the length of the bottom so just the pieces going up the front haven’t been finished. I usually take it as a sign to stop…

    Sleeping Beauty dress

    working while house sitting sucks… I’m stuck on Sleeping Beauty because I need a bunch of stuff from home. I need my lighter interfacing, the rest of my blue fabric, my curlers for the wig, and my white thread… I thought I brought everything I needed but of course I didn’t… now I’m stuck on every part until I get…

    Halloween Plans

    Sleeping Beauty is coming along, I’m *really* hoping to have it finished by next weekend, but if it’s not finished, oh well. I’ve got the dress basically put together, I need to attach the sleeves, attach the skirt to the bodice section and hem it, and get the zipper put in. I’m hoping to do most of those tonight. For…

    Indy the Wonder Dog

    This is what happens when I organize my fabric and realise I have enough scraps to make a silly costume for my dog. This was the best pic I could get of her in it. We’re going to the St Jude Showcase of Dogs this weekend… and I was going to take her in her superdog costume. But then I…

    Nashville Photoshoot & Halloween

    We’re home. We had a lot of fun this weekend, like I said. It’s going to take me a while to get all the photos up, though, there’s so many! He did send me two random Wonder Woman shots – I uploaded one of them. We shot WW at the Parthenon, like I said – and there were a LOT…

    Black Canary Photoshoot Preview

    The photoshoots went great today, from what I’ve seen on Chase’s computer I’m really pleased, especially with the Wonder Woman shots. I went ahead and uploaded one of my favourite Black Canary ones — I should have the rest up on my flickr throughout the week.

    Wizard scan

    I didn’t get around to scanning the magazine last night – but thanks to tetsuyacasshern on LOH I can at least give a sneak peek 🙂 Still going to scan my copy, so I’ll post a better version probably when I start posting pics from the photoshoot today. Speaking of which, we’re off!
