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 The one I originally made… I don’t think it’s…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…

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…

when we took yuffie photos
haha I love The Simpsons. Lisa Simpson: Can you tell me what happens at the end of the series? JK Rowling: Oh, he grows up and marries YOU. Is that what you want to hear? Lisa Simpson: (dreamy sigh) Yes! A happy happy birthday to Priscellie, whose picture present thinger I need to finish. Yuffie pictures from yesterday!! Calvin joined…

Moose – it’s Butterick Classics 4301. It’s been over a year since I bought that pattern – it may have been discontinued or something by now….

when i wanted to take yuffie pics
I want to go out and take pictures of my Yuffie costume today – it’s really really nice out and perfect for taking pictures. I wanted to go into the field next door but someone is mowing it, so if we do take pics it’ll just be in the front yard. I just had a weird experience – I came…

In Lit class we watched The Ruling Class, which was great. Maybe the best movie I’ve ever watched for a class. I want to rent it so I can watch it again. Buuuuut best thing, I got my Arwen tiara!!! It’s soooooooooooooo pretty!!!! I wanted to wear it all day but our big boss is in town in our office…
