    Lois updates…

    I’m slowing down work on my Lois dress – I don’t need it for what I needed it for, so I guess I’ll just finish it when I want and… I don’t know. It’s not really costume-y enough to wear to a con.

    when i redid my room

    So, I’m in the midst of re-organizing and redoing my room. For years my room has been primarily purple, black, and mess. Seriously, stuff crammed everywhere there was a spot. As part of my christmas, we’re redoing it… my main inspiration is this Jim Henson poster. Chase gave me that poster for my birthday, and my aunt had it framed…

    when i didn’t want a themed wedding

    I’m tired of everyone assuming that when I get married, it will be a Star Wars wedding. I don’t know why, I don’t want to be Padme or Leia or Arwen or Belle or whoever on my wedding day, I only want to be me, as silly as that sounds… next time I hear about me having a star wars…

    Art Post: Kit Fisto

    I’ve done a couple of these auction winners for the school my mom teaches at… this time around the winner chose Kit Fisto. I don’t just love it and the best photo I could get of it was laying it on the kitchen floor and standing on a chair over it. Bleh.

    when i refused to share

    This morning, the niece of one of my friends was at work, and she had a colouring book. So I sat down at coloured with her for a while, and I had a weird sort of flashback memory of a colouring book I’d had in 1st grade. Before I’d even ever started to school, I remember dad colouring a picture…

    Various Costume updates!

    Well I haven’t gotten much done lately – been working on the website, or some art stuff. I’ve got about four projects I’m working on currently– Ceremonial Leia v.2 – Since the pattern I bought back in August has apparently disappeared into the black hole that is my sewing room, I bought another one and got it cut out, and…

    when i caught the bouquet

    I had a really weird, vivid dream. A friend of mine was getting married, and had asked me to be a bridesmaid. It wasn’t Mel, Mel was there with me hanging out when this happened. The girl in question is more of an acquaintance. So I thought it was very nice that she asked me to be a bridesmaid. So…

    Hoth Leia pics!

    Here’s some better pics of my finished Hoth Leia… still going to make the arm thing pretty soon, but for now it’s done. It was pretty comfortable but I still want to redo the back of the jumpsuit. I can’t sit in it without undoing the neck as it is now. It was also nice and warm… however on saturday…

    12:30 at night doesn’t make for the best pictures, particulary with our horrid lighting in the kitchen, but I wanted to show that it’s basically finished. Still got my rank badge, and arm thing (arm thing won’t be ready for this weekend, but rank badge will). Tonight I’ve got a couple of things I want to do: belt loops on…

    This weekend is Horrorfest; I’m trying to get Hoth Leia finished for it. I worked a little bit last night, but the sewing machine was being horrid to me so I quit (I swear, the needle came unthreaded three times in the space of, like, 5 minutes. The last time I just quit. I had been up since 5:45 yesterday,…
