Dragoncon 2007 plans
Travel for Dragoncon is finally completely arranged! We’ve had our room at the marriott for a while; but we rented our van last week. We paid a little extra to be able to pick it up the wednesday before and drop it off tuesday instead of monday. So we don’t have the rush trying to check out monday and get…

The Boushh box came!
I’ve been out of town since thursday, and came home today to find my box had arrived! Oooh, the excitement! The fellow who owned it before (who was working on it for his wife, and then they apparently decided not to finish it, and sold me everything they had for it) has already done some work, but it’s still got…

getting lost, part two
Dropped Chase off at the airport. Turns out they’re doing a lot of construction around the airport, causing confusion on my part. I took what I thought to be my turn out of the airport and back to the interstate, but instead ended up completely lost. I drove for a few minutes, trying to get my bearings to see if…

To Open the toys or Not To Open the toys
You guys know I don’t care anything about keeping the toys and collectables I buy in their packaging, right? I love ripping open a new toy, and then setting up the figures in a silly way. I’ve have a handful of things over the years that I decided to leave in their packaging – mostly, the big LOTR action figure…

The Last Big Purchase… a box of Boushh
Well, yesterday, I spent a whole lot of money that I probably shouldn’t have, but in the long-run I figure it’s a deal. I now have the bulk of a project I wasn’t going to even start on for a long time winging its way to me as I type this. As a result, I’m probably going to delay most…

Adventurecon 2007 Pics!
I’ll start with Friday 🙂 Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt’s car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up…

Funeral Padme Progress…
Padme is going; but she’s not really finished. After this con the collar and the few sequins I sewed on will be taken off, and the cape will be dyed some more. I may also remake the collar. But it’s wearable. I hope. I packed Hoth Leia, Ewok Village Leia, and Slave Leia, along with Funeral Padme, Corde, and Wonder…

out of time… still trying to finish Funeral Padme
Wow, I have completely run out of time. I did one more dip in the dye for the cloak this morning, but its the last one I have time for before we leave tomorrow. I’m still not happy with the colour. It’s still not dark enough, too bright. I don’t think I have time to put the sequins on the…

I’m blue… Funeral Padme
Wow, last night was interesting. I painted the cape last night. I almost got done – there’s about 15% left in the center I need to do. I just had to stop last night, my back was killing me from leaning over the stupid thing, and I was COVERED. I mean, my hands were completely blue (I looked like mystique!),…

when i saw TUMS backwards
Hahaha I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, and I noticed my bottle of Tums on the counter… and thanks to the mirror, I now realise TUMS backwards is SMUT… LMAO

Ewok Village Leia and Funeral Padme progress
Sorry, no pics to post of stuff in progress today… My laptop died. Luckily my hard drive is ok. I bought a hard drive enclosure yesterday, and was able to get most of what I hadn’t backed up off of it, and onto my external (back up) hard drive. There were a few files and folders that I needed into…

The Good and the Bad
The Good: Put down payment on the honeymoon!! Paid off our ceremony and reception site!! Had a cookout tonight! Chase got me a Boushh doll! 😀 The Bad: Can’t use miles my aunt and uncle were giving us for the honeymoon! Haven’t felt like sewing at all the past two days! Spent three hours looking for a decent swimsuit. Every…

Adventurecon 2007 Schedule, & updates
Normally I’m off at a con this weekend! Nope, this year it’s next weekend. The good news – Chase is getting off early friday, around 2. So we’ll be pulling into Knoxville around 9. Not really enough time to do anything that night, unfortunately, but better than 2 or 3 in the morning. I have no idea when I’m going…

when we saw a 3 hour long pirate movie
I felt fine before going to the doctor yesterday. Yesterday afternoon afterwards, started feeling icky and weird. Still do. It’s just like when the doctor asks if your throat hurts, you say no, then he sticks that stupid stick down your throat to look, and after that your throat hurts. I’m always like, “trashball, it was fine before you stuck…

Funeral Padme progress pic
really quickly, because I have to leave in like 2 minutes for a dr’s appt. Underdress is almost finished, just needs tweaking. Cut out the basic pieces of the cape last night and pinned them on, tonight I will put them together and hopefully start dying.

I…

Sewing Machine Woes and Ewok Village Leia
Well, the sewing machine still isn’t back – we’re getting it back today. Mum went to pick it up the other day, and the guy hadn’t dropped it off at the store – apparently he only visits that particular store on fridays, which he neglected to tell us. But, I did mostly finish my wig. It actually needs to be…

Adventurecon 2007 schedule
We don’t know what time we’re getting there friday night – we’re hoping chase can get a halfday off work so we can leave memphis by noon or one. If we do that, then i’ll be able to have time to go to the con that night — if not, we won’t be able to leave memphis until like, 6…

it’s ALIVE!!! & Ewok Village Leia updates
So the sewing machine has been cleaned and fixed, and is coming home today. I was a little worried because the guy called friday, asking us to please call about the sewing machine… and then we couldn’t get in touch with him all weekend. We were all worried it was something serious! (it was like a call from a doctor……
