A few wedding pics
Hopefully we’ll be getting the disc of all the full-size copies of the photos pretty soon — but I realised I’m starting to forget some of the moment-by-moment parts of the day, so I thought I’d go ahead and post about the wedding day with some of my favourite pics out of the proof gallery our photographer sent us. These…

Adcon 2008 plans…
We rented a vehicle for the weekend, so we can all fit, yay! Got a good deal on it, too 8) Chase has gotten a half day that day! YAY! So we’ll leave town around 11:30 – swing through Kevin’s camp and pick him up at one (it’s on the way to Knoxville) – get into Knoxville around 6ish? We’ll…

We are moved in!
I got my Poison Ivy boots basically finished, I just need to glue down a few spots, and add leaves. Also made my gloves – just need to add leaves to those, too. Fix that one spot on the briefs, and she’s done. I got my Giselle pieces cut out — I left all the pieces at home with the…

Poison Ivy updates and packing…
Tomorrow is moving day, and I haven’t packed any of my costume stuff. I think I’ve got a plan. Most of my stuff is in plastic storage bins. When we get the uhaul here tonight, I’m just going to put whatever loose stuff in whatever plastic bin has room, and load them up that way. Messy I know, but I…

Adcon 2008 Schedule

If I were to take a Star Wars costume it’ll be slave Leia, as I want a few new pics of…

Starfire, Poison Ivy progress
Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven’t really done anything on Poison Ivy – but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and…

Busy Shopping day
Chase was up super early because he had a tennis match – he got home around 10, took a shower, and headed off to errands. #1 – We went and picked out which apartment we wanted, got everything with that taken care of… we move in next weekend. #2 – Went to the furniture store. They no longer had the…

glasses!
Got my glasses! they are super cute. However they really mess with my vision, they will take a lot of getting used to. I’m going to wear them for maybe a half-hour today, then 45 mins tomorrow, build it up because I don’t want a headache from trying to wear them for too long.

A place to live is a good thing
We got approved on the apartment today, we drop off the Indiana (dog) deposit saturday, pick out which one we want, and move in june 1. I’m excited, I’m glad we found this place, the location is perfect, the price is great, we’ll be able to save for a down payment on a house once our lease is up. It’s…

Boots & Marion
Yesterday shopping went well – Found two pairs of boots that I could possibly use for the costume – I bought them both, as they were only $6 a piece! The others can always be used somewhere else, LOL. I got a pair of shorts/briefs for Poison Ivy at target – got them covered in leaves last night, but I’m…

Poison Ivy progress
Went home last night for an hour or so and messed with the bodice to get it to fit better – luckily the first thing I tried worked like a charm! It fits great now! I also sewed up the front permanently so I wouldn’t have to deal with a gazillion hook-and-eyes everytime I put it on. So I went…

Quick Poison Ivy update
Got my bodice for Poison Ivy – it’s too big. I’ll be taking it up tonight and then start sewing leaves on. Chase has convinced me to add another costume to the Dcon list; I swear, but it will match his major new one for Dcon, so I was already thinking about it anyway. It’s something I can put together…

Honeymoon pics!
I have been digging through a ton of photos lately – and we got our proof gallery from our photographer, but I’m going to save those until we get the full disc next week 🙂 But I did finally get all of the honeymoon pics up! So… here we go. Sunday morning after the wedding we woke up in our…

Summer Costume plans
In a vague sort of order. 1. Poison Ivy I’m definitely doing this for Adcon in June — I’ve got boots I’m going to mod (hopefully, I need to get them out and see what kind of shape they’re in), going to reuse my Phoenix wig, and I’ve got a corset to mod on the way – should hopefully get…

HSO event pics!
What a great event! I’m so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We’ve gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events – and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was…

Cleaning Dyeable Shoes?
It’s probably too late for me to do anything about it, but I thought I’d ask — I have a pair of Dyeables pumps, dyed pale yellow (they’re my Belle shoes). After 3 years, they absolutely filthy looking (especially thanks to trooping places like the zoo in that costume!) I’ve tried a little soap and water, but it’s not helping….…

HSO Star Wars & Disney Event!
Well for those not on my regular LJ… Chase I are married and home from our honeymoon! Everything went great and you can see some of the random pics I’ve collected from other people on my flickr page. Plus I had my last 2 wisdom teeth out wednesday morning – LOL isn’t that fun? It’s gone a little rougher than…

A few wedding pics
Let’s see if I can post some pics before this medicine kicks in. Friday, the bridesmaids and I went to lunch together, and then to Paint-a-Piece! It was a lot of fun! (Only Melissa couldn’t be there, she was driving in from St Louis to be there that night) Cath painted a doggie bowl for Indy for our new place!…
