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
Probably won’t be there in time to wear anything Friday, so… Saturday morning: Scarlet Witch Saturday afternoon: Poison Ivy Saturday evening: KC Wonder Woman Saturday night: Wonder Woman Sunday: Giselle, if I finish her, if not, Rogue movie uniform. 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…
-
Scarlet Witch progress
I dyed my bodysuit last night – easy enough. I also dyed my gloves and the briefs to better match the cape material. I got the cape cut out and put together – I need to hem it and it’s finished. So I spent the better part of the night trying to decide what to do about the bodice. The…

Belle Library updates
Well no pics last night, at least none of me. I did finally finish re-sewing the sleeves onto my green Belle dress, and took some pics of it – The sleeves finally stay up properly… I wanted to try to take pictures of it outside this weekend, but it looks like we’re supposed to get a lot of rain… so…

Things I need to do a photoshoot with
I really want to pull out the backdrop and do a photoshoot tonight. I need to finish sewing my other green Belle sleeve on, and I could take pics of it tonight. I also reeeeeeally need to dig out my “doll” Leia costume I made for Dragoncon and never wore, and take pics of it. I also want to take…

Con Nooga 2008 Pics
Ok, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. We’ve just been so busy! We didn’t take many – we were very lazy about pics. I was not in a good mood because I went to put my green Belle dress on saturday morning- and the sleeves looked horrible. That’s what I get for waiting last minute, I…

Belle Library dress progress
“Great costumes!” thanks! “Are they all yours?” no, most of them I stole. don’t tell anybody. Move, Indiana! Anyway, I finished the bodice last night – got all the grommets in, and it was actually the easiest job I’ve ever had of it – I didn’t ruin any of them so I didn’t need my extras! My to-do list for…
