Padme Lake dress finished!!
I put it on the mannequin to take some finished pics, since the mannequin has arms to hold the sleeves up. She’s considerably taller than me, so the train isn’t as long as it should be, but it still works! And a few on the dressform too:

Padme Lake dress almost done
Very nearly done. The dyeing went really well, and I loooove how the georgette took the dye. Just needs a few more tweaks, and to finish the accessories. Hoping to have it up on ebay soon, for some extra cash for the honeymoon 🙂

Padme Lake Dress updates
Haven’t gotten to do much this week, thanks to wedding meetings and whatnot. I’m really hoping to get a lot done this weekend. Here’s some pics of what I have gotten done since last time. Sleeping Beauty – purple/lavender version. Basically, both of these fabrics are things I had leftover and wanted to use and get out of the way.…

Belle’s Library dress progress pics
As I said last update, I had gotten the skirt basically put together. It’s still where it was back then – the gathering at the waistband needs to be tweaked, I need to put the waistband on, and hem it. (I think I am going to leave it a little longer than the dress in the movie is – in…

costume projects!
So I’ve been a busy little bee lately. Because of the eyestrain/headache thing I’ve been having lately, I’ve been staying away from the computer in the evenings and working on projects and whatnot – wedding & sewing stuff, basically. Here’s what they are – sorry, no pics as of yet – I’ll try to get some up pretty soon. 1.…

More Hogwarts Robes pics
Well, the only reason I had to keep this project secret on here was because Ash reads this journal, so she would have seen it all! Earlier this year, the girls all decided they wanted Hogwarts robes for Dragoncon next year. The plan was that I would make them next year. Well then I thought, why not make them for…

Hogwarts Robes finished + photoshoot!
Secret project is FINISHED! I’ll try to post pics tomorrow before we leave. I took these pics a while back, when I bought a new backdrop – I want to try to put together a nice book of some of my costumes, eventually. (Sort-of, to use a portfolio – I’ve got a nice setup for my artwork, but nothing for…

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

Christmas Parade Pics
Well first and foremost, I am cruising on my secret project. And having fun, it’s ended up being pretty simple. I hope to have it done by this weekend, and to do a photoshoot then. Here’s some more parade pics! All of these photos were taken by Dragon. And THIS was when we managed to get way, way behind the…

501st Christmas Parades!
Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early,…

Link costume
I got Kevin’s Link tunic made – everything but the bottom hem and putting a closure at the chest so it doesn’t slip – I tried it on him yesterday and got those places marked, so I’ll get it finished tonight. I’ll also work on his boots tonight, and start on that secret project while PR is on 8) Question…

Princess Birthday Party Pics!
It was a really fun time. The birthday girl had a great time, the carriage was beautiful, the weather was perfect. One little girl in a Cinderella dress was STUCK to my side the entire time, once she got over her shy-ness – holding my hand everywhere, running over picking flowers for me, and she also rode in my lap…

March of Dimes event pics!
Well first off – the hotel messed up the rooms, and the March of Dimes people came over and straightened out as best they could – we ended up with a big suite for all of us. It was pretty nice! I wish the Marriott had something like that for Dragoncon that wasn’t like, you know, $5000 a night or…

blah – halloween 2007
So yeah, we ended up doing basically nothing for Halloween, yet again. We wanted to go try to find somewhere with a costume contest and try to win some money towards the wedding, but we were too lazy Saturday night, like I said, and we didn’t do anything last night, either. In fact, I didn’t even wear blue Belle to…

Halloween 2007 Pics
These are all from saturday 😀 First we headed over to the Grotto to takes pics of Wonder Woman. As I said before, since I was already going to be wearing it that day, and Saturday was what I thought was probably going to be our last warm day (it’s not, all this week is going to be warm, yay!)…

ZooBoo Pics
Memphis ZooBoo was LAME compared to the Nashville zoo. We basically just wandered around, got free ice cream sandwiches. Chase got some attention, a handful of photos with kids, but I might as well have been wearing normal clothes (I was in Leia, since it turned out too cold and drizzly last night for WW or Belle) We had fun…

Superhero thoughts
I asked Chase which should be my next superhero costume – I gave him a choice of 4 – Zatanna, comic-book Starfire (which I’ve wanted to do since doing the Cartoon Network version), Power Girl or Scarlet Witch. He didn’t like Power Girl, which I didn’t expect him to, he wasn’t too keen on Zatanna, either – he said Starfire…

Sunday Parthenon Shoot
We got up Sunday morning, got packed up and set off to the Parthenon. We had quite a good turn out! Besides me and Chase, we also had Supergirl, Poison Ivy, Lara Croft, slave Leia and Boba Fett. So we had a great time taking pics. The weather was perfect, the wind was whipping (and a few times would suddenly…

Horrorfest and Nashville Zoo Trooping Pics
This week has been very hectic at work, I just finally finished editing the photos from this weekend and got them uploaded today. So we drove up to Nashville Friday night, had an awesome dinner with friends. 🙂 Saturday we got up, and I put on Belle, and Chase and I headed over to the fairgrounds for the Nashville Comic/Horror…

Belle progress pics
On the left, the dress as it was on monday. On the inside, every seam was pinned up, so it looked really lumpy LOL. Also no zipper yet, and I had just pinned up the hem once to give me an idea of where to cut the excess off. On the right, as of last night – almost done –…
