    Leia Progress

    I haven’t updated in a while! Well I’m not making Meg for Halloween. I opted for ANH Leia instead. I’ve already made the dress twice. I didn’t like the first one, so I got a different fabric and a different pattern and tried again. I’m still not 100% satisfied but it’ll have to do, as I don’t have the extra…

    when we planned for C3

    EEEE *geek spasm* I got my badge and my hotel room for Star Wars Celebration III!! And best of all, we’re staying in an Omni again! Connected to the convention center via skywalk! It only took 4 1/2 hours to register, too. Geez. The site was absolutely choked with people trying to register. I just kept refreshing until I got…

    when i lost a file

    CRAP. I was rearranging files on my computer last night. Good thing, it was a mess. I go to open the fanart CG I’ve been working on for the past week, and guess what. It’s not there. Apparently I deleted it while cleaning out files. *smacks forehead repeatedly*

    when i was scared of robots

    I realised today that my fear/dislike of robots goes back even farther than that Disney special (a behind the scenes of Disneyland/Disney World – they showing Abraham Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents with no skin on his face). Out of nowhere today I was reminded of Herbie Hancock’s video for “Rock-it.” Anybody else remember that? I was never out…

    when indy was on the table

    Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday 😀 It was pretty good. I got Star Wars DVD set (of course), gift certificates, the Mordor action figure set I picked out at Dragoncon, and a new jacket. Money. I’m still waiting on a few to come in, lol. Best bday present of all – got a raise at…

    when golf messed up my birthday

    So we went out for my birthday night. The original plan was to go downtown to Pat O’Brien’s, have some drinks, something to eat, and then go see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Well, turns out that some big Southern Heritage Classic is happening today, so downtown was PACKED. Like every parking space taken. So we decided not…

    2005 Convention Schedule

    For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…

    when I was in animerica

    Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

    Hey LOOK OMG I actually gave my livejournal a new look. Not much of a change, but whatever. I feel like I’m drunk tonight, but I’m not! Ha! Indy and I went to the Germantown Arts and Crafts festivus thing today. She wore her Superman costume and MAN did everybody love her! Everybody was yelling “Superdog!” and kids kept coming…

    when we had a great dcon

    we’re home from dragoncon. I’ll post more tomorrow – or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that’s going on. But yeah, made it out of ATL before any bit of Frances did (never rained on us at all – did it ever rain today there? It was acting…

    Lessa, hermione, Ozma and Padme updates

    Lessa – done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won’t take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week – it’s almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We’ll see at dragoncon. Hermione – done. will need to be pressed again when…

    Updates & Dcon 04 Schedule

    Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I’ve finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I’ve made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that’s ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash’s masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly…
