Back from my Birthday Weekend in Nashville!
I’m back from a WONDERFUL weekend in nashville! Friday night we went out and got Chase’s new phone, then we went and ate at the Cheesecake Factory! I love eating there, we don’t have one in Memphis (that I know of), so it’s a treat. I had the vanilla bean cheesecake and it was soooo good, especially with the strawberrys…

Upcoming Costume Schedules
There are five or six projects I want to work on over the winter months. Dorothy, which might hit the backburner. I was going to make it for halloween – still might – but now I’m not going to be in Memphis to do the group with everybody that weekend so it kinda makes it pointless. However, I might go…

when i’d had my teeth cut out
And I’m spent for the night… whew. Updating my LJ… and catching up on myspace stuff… it took forever! My teeth have finally stopped hurting – for the moment. I expect them to be aching again when I wake up in the morning, since I have a tendancy to – well, not quite grit my teeth, but hold my jaw…

Dragoncon 2006 wrap-up: everything else
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji… yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also…

April & Leo Recap
Chase’s turtle turned out soooo good! I’m so impressed. When he said he wanted to do this costume, as a surprise I put together an April O’Neil costume. I wasn’t going to tell him, I was just going to put it on at the con when he put on the turtle. But of course I ended up telling him. LOL…

Corde wrap-up
Everybody who knows me knows I’ve been wanting to do this costume for some time LOL I went into this thinking, oh, it’ll be quick! Haha, yeah right. Started out with just a basic white robe first. Lined the sleeves with white satin. Then it was time to stamp. I never did figure out *exactly* what the pattern was on…

Mandalorian wrap-up
Out of all my new costumes for Dragoncon, this was my favourite! I’m very proud of how it turned out. It was fun and comfortable to wear, and for the first time ever I had 10 year old boys wanting their picture with me. LMAO. We painted the helmet ages ago. Here’s my helmet in-progress: > Here’s my vest in-progress:…

Belle & Beast wrap-up
Well, for Belle-dar it’s a wrap-up, not so much for Beast. But anyway. When Chase and I decided to make a Beast costume for him, and wanted it to be for the masquerade, I couldn’t enter the same old Belle I’d entered last year, so I embarked to make some upgrades to it. This was a chance for me to…

Dragoncon 2006 Sunday pics!
Back to our regularly scheduled Dragoncon pics! Got to sleep in a little bit Sunday morning. We got up and I put on Rogue for the X-Men photoshoot, and Chase stayed in normal clothes to play photographer. I was absolutely stunned by how many people showed up for the X-Men photoshoot! Me and Kitty! This is just part of the…

Dragoncon2006: Saturday pics!
Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn’t really get my hair on right – we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that…

Dragoncon 2006: Friday pics!
I’m home from Dragoncon! I got home yesterday and had to work, so I came home and pretty much crashed. It was a great weekend! We did dub it “The Weird Dragoncon” because we didn’t do thinks like we normally did. I’m working on getting my pics up while here at home. I just got my wisdom teeth out at…

when my brain was on dragoncon
Yipes! I just put some grub in the microwave for a snack, then skipped off to the back fridge to get a coke. When I came back, the microwaves was popping and making weird noises and there were SPARKS inside! Also a bad burning smell! Turns out I had left the spoon in the bowl. I had even thought before…

Progress updates
It’s so strange being able to pack my costumes – and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I’ve driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I’ve not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It’s an odd experience, but a good one. Chase’s costume is almoooooost…

when i was tired of working on costumes
I’m just so tired and ready for all this stuff to be done. It’s gotten to the point where I’m not even really thinking about dcon anymore, i’m just wanting all the costume stuff to be done for a while. All we’ve done the past month, every free minute, has been working on costumes. 😛 I’ve only got 2 more…

Mando, Belle updates
Today was really busy. We made good progress on Chase’s costume. It’s almost there. The mando is almost done, too. After the weathering on the shirt and vest dry I can finish it tomorrow. Blue Belle just needs one or two more things. Yellow Belle needs her roses sewn on. My secret costume needs the belt finished and the wig…
