    Lulu & Xiaoyu fabric

    Got some black velvet for Lulu’a top, but it’s not like, really velvet. Closer to suede. Looks nice with the grey I’ve got. Which reminds me, found huge bolt of the suede I got for the Lulu skirt and sleeves on the remnant table for 50% off. GAAAHH. Oh well, I didn’t spend that much on it in the first…

    when the winners were chosen

    Well, I’ve got all the SD contest emails sent out but one… that one will be sent out once I get home, so I can look at my notes and make sure I’m sending it to the right person! Gosh it was hard to pick. I’m glad I had judges do the dirty work. There ended up being six judges…

    when i wanted to make an eowyn costume

    Mom’s back from DC. She brought me back a monkey ๐Ÿ˜€ Think I’ll name it Chico. Sorry to spill a little cosplay talk over here, but… deal! I’ve been looking through all the Eowyn pics I’ve collected so far, and I’m really pleased… my She-Ra wig will work for it, too! Yay! In the handful of actual movie shots I’ve…

    Lulu Belt hunting

    Went to the salvation army yesterday in search of belts. Dad and I ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. They had all these bins of old record albums for $2 each. They weren’t in any kind of order so we just sat around going through them looking for interesting things. Dad ended up buying a Three Dog Night album.…

    when i needed opinions

    Gosh, I had the hardest time logging in last night!! I’d like anyone’s help on the subject of a costume. I was going to post about it here last night but it’s over at my livejournal instead. I forgot to mention there that I don’t particularly want it to be an anime costume. Anyway. Ok ok ok ok, I’ll be…

    Dragoncon suggestions

    There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

    when i got roller skate shoes

    Saw Death to Smoochie yesterday. I’m glad Catherine didn’t go see it with us, she would have been permanently scarred from seeing Robin Williams cuss. Easter today was fun. Mema got me those shoes with the roller skates in them. I can’t skate like I used to, I discovered. We played a game. Everybody picked an egg with a number…

    She-Ra progress…

    I went to the fabric store the other day. Got a few little last minute things for She-Ra (I hope MidSouthCon is still going on, they haven’t updated their page in forever and aren’t responding to emails…) and some white material and red ribbon for sakura.
