when i coughed up a lung
I have bruised my ribs coughing. But I’m finally starting to get better. Tomorrow is a big day! I’m really excited. I’ll explain more later. Katsucon is weekend after next. Tohru is done except for one little thing, but I still have a lot to do on Belldandy. I’m really, really excited about it now, because I’m going to be…

ribbons
I finished the basic top for Tohru over the weekend. I still just need to make the sailor collar and attach the cuffs, sew on the buttons and put the white ribbon along the bottom. And I keep forgetting to get some stupid yellow ribbons for my hair.

when i went over my schedule
Argh. I came over here to write something important, and now I’ve forgotten it. Must have not been too important. So I’ll do something else. Got my Katsucon prereg confirmation today. We’re flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won’t be doing any…

Belldandy updates & SDCC plans!
Finally got my blue material for Bell, and all the stuff I needed. And white suede. Yum 🙂 Booked my hotel for Comic Con today, also. I have no idea who is going me – at this point me and Ash definitely. I really wish Cath and Melissa to come, but I just don’t know at this point. Either way…

Honda Tohru progress
Top’s basically finished – got to finish the collar and cuffs.

Manga Belldandy progress
Went to the fabric store with the intent of buying white vinyl and some light blue material. Came away with 2 patterns, lots MORE beads for Bell, and no fabric. Basically, I decided to scrap the darker blue part of the Bell dress that I’ve already made and remake it differently. The one I originally made… I don’t think it’s…

when i was kawaii
I had a convention dream last night for the first time in ages… got to katsucon on thursday, spent the night, and in the morning got up to put on tohru and it wasn’t finished. I was so upset I was shaking! I don’t know what brought that on. I haven’t had con dreams like that in a long time,…

Dad needs to be Qui-Gon
I think that in my off time in between MTAC and Comic Con (which is to say, in between April and July), I’m going to make my dad a Qui-Gon Jinn costume. He rented a jedi costume back for Halloween 2000 and made a good Qui-Gon, so I know he wouldn’t mind doing it again. That way whenever I need…

Shopping and Manga Belldandy updates
Fixed some random broken and non working things around the site. Any outside links should NOT open in these little windows – so let me know if you see any that do. I think I got them all but I can’t be sure. I finally decided on my second Dragoncon 2004 costume – I’m not telling what it is though!…

Site updated
I finally got enough of this new design finished to put it up; it’s taken forever. Also added my new Arwen Wedding dress, and my Quidditch uniform. Updated upcoming conventions. And of course the new design. Added the new “tips” section – it’s not open yet, tho. The pattern guide will be moved there soon. New link banners in the…

when I got a sword
My parents FINALLY gave in, after 3 Christmases of asking for it, they finally got me Glamdring (Gandalf’s sword). It’s SWEET!! Also some action figures, clothes, LOTR trival pursuit, lots of DVDs, purple velvet for a cloak. All in all a very good haul. I’m going to have breakfast and put my things away. Going to my aunt’s this afternoon…

ensconced in velvet
Mom gave me some purple velvet for Christmas to be used to make a cape. Buuut now I’m all tempted to make the Arwen Hope Dress with it instead. That’s my favourite dress from LOTR, I think… I love the colours. I’ll have to measure it and see how many yards I’ve got…

Arwen pics!
I put Arwen on again to take some shots of it, since I didn’t get any at the premiere 🙁 I did have a fabulous time wearing it, but we got there so late that there was no time to take pics or show it off… oh well.

when i didn’t watch SNL
For some reason, I really don’t like to watch actors or actresses from movies I like doing something like SNL or on some ET report or anything. I can’t explain it. I don’t even like to watch Behind the Scenes stuff, or interviews. It’s weird. Like I didn’t want to watch Elijah Wood on SNL so I skipped. I don’t…

when i was going to new orleans
I have 2 papers to write tonight and studying for my math final exam tomorrow to do, but I don’t feel like it right now! So, here’s a reeeeeeallly long post. I’m leaving for New orleans on monday and I’m nowhere near done with my dress. Tomorrow night when I get home I need to bust out some fabric paint…

when i hated biters
Sometimes I think the people on cosplaylab just randomly chose a time on the “Amount of time spent on this costume” section. 40-60 hours on super simple costume? Wow OK! And while I’m ranting, this person on a board I occasionally post at started posting in this one thread, linking to the artwork of the arwen wedding dress I’m making…

Arwen wig and crown test
Tried my wig on with my crown and ears tonight. This is a little thing I made to post on cosplay.com along with the design of the dress I’m making.

Basic dress put together – still needs hemmed.
