Lake dress & Mustafar updates
Danielle’s lake dress is nearly done; I spent the afternoon dying the chiffon. Interesting experience… i did it a different way and for the most part i’m pleased with the results. The only thing i was disappointed in was the blue… it faded a LOT, especially at the bottom, so when I dye mine tomorrow I may put the bottom…

Lake Dress and Rogue progress pics!
Padme Lake dress 3.0: The base dresses are put together, and dyed. Haven’t hemmed or put the snap in at the top. Doing that today. I got the chiffon overlay cut out for Danielle’s, and I’ve started edging that. Looks good so far… Tonight I’ll cut my overlay fabric fabric out and start on it. I’m hoping to dye them…

when i made a bingo game
And, in other news, I have either lost a cap or a really big filling in one of my teeth. It doesn’t hurt at all, I noticed after dinner tonight, I realised when I ran my tongue over that last tooth in my mouth it felt… not right. Like the middle of my tooth is missing. I certainly haven’t swallowed…

Mustafar and Lake Padme Progress
Mustafar: I just kinda tossed the hair up for the picture so it’s not right, but here’s everything but the jewelry. Hopefully Chase will be casting those for me tomorrow night. I’m going to make another pregnancy pad – I don’t like that one… it’s just a pillow and it won’t stay put. Those are pants #2. They’re too light,…

Rogue, Mustafar and Lake Padme updates!
I finished my Rogue straps, the boots and all the little straps that go around her wrists, upper arms and top of the boots! Whoohoo! All I have left to do on her is sew some velcro on the legs and top of the boots so the boots will freaking stay up. And get Chase to finish the center X…

Rogue boots progress
My dress sold! Very exciting. I’ve only ever sold one of my costumes on ebay once before, and that didn’t turn out well, so I’m glad this time has gone so smoothly (and that it went for more than my buy-it-now even was! whoohoo!) I’m still at the beginning stages of my Rogue boots. I decided that while I work…

when the president was at graceland
So Bush and the Prime Minister of Japan are here in Memphis today. And what are they doing? They’re touring freaking Graceland. Funny, exactly two years ago we were also touring Graceland. Coincidence? I think NOT! Ha. Anyway, glad I don’t have to be anywhere down there. My god, the traffic!

So back to the drawing board with that. Got Chase’s Vader pants nearly finished, the elastic straps for his feet are partially put on, got the velcro put on…

the gates swung open and…
Pardon me while I have a strange interlude. Why you couple of baboons… What makes you think I’d marry either one of you? Strange how the wind blows tonight… it has a thin eerie voice, reminds me of poor old Marsden. How happy I could be with either of these two, if both of them just went away…

Fabric & SDCC 2006 Schedule
My main brooch for mustafar padme is almost done; I’m a bit stuck on doing the little flowers on the sculpey. Everytime I tried to just carve the shape it ends up not looking right. I got tired of thinking about it yesterday so I haven’t looked at it since. I went to the fabric store friday – got my…

when we made extra sdcc plans
Well, Ash and I have decided not to go to Legoland in San Diego next month; it’s too far away and too expensive. Instead, I realised the Hotel del Coronado is very near there. I’d love to go see that! I think we may do that that wednesday afternoon before preview night. If not that, I also realised the Salk…

when mom hit her face
Well I’m posting this from weekend, which I generally try not to do, but I haven’t had internet access at home since friday morning. Very frustrating. It’s apparently fixed now, but I was only able to get online once over the weekend, and that was for 5 minutes at my aunt’s house saturday afternoon. Ok here was my whole weekend…
