Queen Amidala Parade Dress Progress
I got quite a few more petals done this weekend, and today I finished the base cape. I worked on the dress a little more, too. Here’s the base cape for my Padme Parade dress… this was on sunday morning, when I was just pinning it together and stuff. I finished it today, as I said. Here’s the workstation for…

when i questioned mara’s wedding dress
One of the things that disappoints me about the Star Wars universe is the subject of marriage. I haven’t really thought about it or looked into that much, my memory may be a bit fuzzy in a few places, but why is that “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” so much of the Earthly, western ideal…

when nobody but dad would see ring 2 with me
Dad said he’d go see The Ring 2 with me since ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GIANT CHICKENS WHO WON’T GO SEE A MOVIE THAT PROBABLY WON’T EVEN BE SCARY

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…

when there was a guy with a sledgehammer
Yesterday on my way to work, I stopped to get gas. Whils I was standing there letting it fill up, I turned around to watch traffic. There was some road construction happening at the corner, but nothing that was holding up traffic. Out of nowhere, one of the construction guys walks right out into oncoming traffic and starts pounding on…

Amidala Shoes, Parasol, Progress & Plans
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…

when i tried telling a story
Remind me to go back to telling stories on my blog. I was rereading my old archives, and god, I don’t post the same way I used to. I want to get back to that. What’s a story I could tell… hmm… Ok, so I started typing a story and it sucked. So I erased it. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Indiana Jones
Indy does not like this situation. Not at all. Indy wearing a pretty Christmas bow. This didn’t last long. This was from my photography class ages ago. I don’t know how I managed to keep her like this long enough to take the picture. Another one from the class, I love this picture 🙂 She’s so determined to figure out…

when i got busted
So I got busted in the mouth in the basketball game tonight. Bleeding and everything! It was cool. I didn’t get to play much after that though, cause of the, y’know, bleeding.

when i made a xanga
btw, I made a xanja journal – Cath made me join, so I did. It’s not going to be anything major, this and my LJ are still going to be my main journals. I’m using it right now a little bit because I like that I can select the album/tv show I’m watching or listening to, and the fact that…

when schedules clashed
Ooooooof I am in pain from the basketball game……..! We lost, but we won. Go figure. (we won by forfeit, but we went ahead and played them by loaning them one of our players, and we lost. haha) I am sad because I’m not going to be here for RAT’s play. It’s on the EXACT same weekend as Celebration III.…

Lots of updates and plans
I haven’t updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday… but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I want to…

when kevin found his true calling
I’m keeping my cousin this week, and this afternoon I went to Hobby Lobby to use my gift cards I’ve racked up over the past half year. When in the bead/necklace/etc aisle, he found this pendant that looked like a sword. He asked if he could have it, and since it was only $3 and was in a super good…

when i hated coupons
Random annoyance: I hate the word coupon. Especially when it’s pronounced “Coo-pon.” But I hate it all ways, just that one slightly more. Stupid coupons.

when there was an earthquake
Earthquake! I woke up this morning and the house was shaking and rumbling. I thought at first it was the heat coming on (just really loudly and violently than normal), or a plane passing really low, and then I thought “maybe it’s an earthquake” and then I went back to sleep. As you can tell I was very concerned. So…
