when george lucas was going to be there
George Lucas is going to be at Celebration. I don’t care what you think of him, or the prequels… it boils down to the fact that the man whose movies shaped my childhood is going to be in the same building as me. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 years later I’m still dressing up as Princess Leia 🙂

Amidala petals again…
Newly dyed petals – and my bike earning its keep! hehe. I finished all the petals, finally. They’re just pinned on here, because I started putting them all on to see how many I needed before I finished the rest of them. I don’t plan on dying the undyed ones – I’m just going to mix them in with the…

Queen Amidala Parade Petals
Don’t take a picture of me! The dying! Take a picture of the dying! It was nice out yesterday, so I did my dying outside. Here’s what the petals looked like BEFORE… And right after dying, still wet.

when i was selected
Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…

I’ve actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals… and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I’m in love, haha. I painted my shoes…

My little friend is gone, there’s nothing else to do now but move on and remember all the good times I had with him. Still, this house is very sad right now. Mum keeps crying and blaming herself.
