Poison Ivy & Giselle updates
Poison Ivy is finished! Yay! I went ahead and packed it up last night. My Giselle wig is finished – the zipper is in, top is finished, and it’s hemmed. I need to attach the white shoulder piece, the ribbon and the straps, and it’s done. I’m also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman. I don’t know if I feel like…

Superhero Summer camp
Just got back from playing Wonder Woman at a kid’s summer camp! It was fun. They have different themes every week – this week was “Superheroes.” I got off work around 2 and headed up there, got my costume on. They stuck my cousin David in a rented Batman suit – it was HILARIOUS. We answered questions from the kids…

Giselle progress
The sewing machine is still at my parent’s house, so last night I went home and sewed the pieces of Giselle together. I ironed it and tried it on – it’s much too big and doesn’t fit through the chest and waist, so I’ll be taking it up this weekend. Also need to put the zipper in, and hem the…

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…

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…

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…

Poison Ivy costume?
Out of the blue I kinda want to do a Poison Ivy costume. I realised I’m going to have all these silk ivy leaves leftover after the wedding (the ones that are going on top of our arbor at the ceremony site) – why not put them to good use? Also can reuse one of my red wigs and use…

MidSouthCon 2008 pics
Friday night – like I said we didn’t go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn’t fun going…

Belle pics and more Scarlet Witch updates
Last night I cut out my boot covers, hemmed my cape, and did a lot of dyeing. It took several rounds but I finally got the fabric about the right colour, I’m ok with it. Chase also finished the necklace and armbands for the Lake Dress last night — he was going to paint them at work today, so hopefully…
