Arwen still not finished
Didn’t finish Arwen yet. Still! I’m not happy with the sleeves, and that’s holding up progress. Plus my necklace hasn’t come. 🙁

Arwen mostly done
Arwen is mostly done. Haven’t done the underskirt or hemmed the bottom of the dress yet, and I still have to make the white sleeves, but that’s it. It’s so pretty! Next we’re going to get White Utena, Sakura and Amalthea done. Then concentrate on my two main costumes for Katsu.

Arwen progress
Finished sewing up the side of the Arwen dress and put the zipper in. Made the boot covers. I had enough suede leftover from the bootcovers that I can make a little fellowship cloak. I dyed the gloves the other night, but they were too blue, not dark enough. So i got some black dye yesterday and put them in…

To-D0 list 10/2/02

Instead I’m going to use the pattern we used for Misato. To-Do List: Arwen- *Sew the pieces together. *Dye gloves, cord, and lacey stuff. *Have dad help me make the…

Hee!! There was a Rincewind at dragoncon that I didn’t see! I wanted dad to go as Rincewind but he hasn’t read those books. I think he’d do it if I really wanted him to… so maybe next year? And here’s a nice one of me & Ash… I really like this pic. I got a bonus point in class…

Arwen Fabric & Dcon pics
I finally got my Arwen fabric today. Got a pattern, too. We wandered all over the store looking for fabric the right colour – we were about to give up and plan to meet at the other Hancock’s tomorrow, when we found exactly what I was looking for in the Halloween section. It was even cheap! $4 a yard plus…

Weird Habit
I have this weird habit with new costumes – I don’t like to put them on before a convention. The closest I came was putting most of Shadowcat on before Dragoncon, but that’s just ’cause mom made me. I didn’t put all of Amidala on, or Ocha, or Urd, or Lina, or Lulu, or Xiaoyu, or Misato… etc, etc. I…

when i was prepared to be a vampire slayer
Well! I’m glad nobody bumped into me at school today and made me drop my bag. Turns out I was still carrying the stake from my dragoncon buffy costume in my bag. Someone might think I was building a very small fence. ugggggh still don’t feel good. headache went away. throat not so bad. nose stuffy.

Dragoncon 2002 recap!
report… sort of preliminary, as I remember things I’ll have to go back and add them. Friday Friday saw us up at 4:30 AM to drive to the airport to catch our 6:30 flight. We got to the airport and checked in… we had perfect timing, as soon as we walked up to the gate they called our seats and…
