    Shadowcat and Lina boots!

    And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I’ve decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.)…

    when the soffe shorts appeared

    Well, today’s running around was kind of a bust. Found no good Xiaoyu fabric at Hancock’s – the closest thing to the correct colour was too thin. Found no wig or lab coat at Party City. Found absolutely nothing at the mall. Went in the new Delia’s sotre – felt horribly out of place. Went to Freewheelin’ Franks. Ash got…

    when we didn’t see the movie

    Wow, I haven’t posted here since 4/30! I guess I’ve been so busy with the poster… Well, it’s finished and I’ll post it in my next post, if you’re interested. Dad picked up the print yesterday and I took it up to them last night. They were all happy with it (except one of the flapper girls – “HEY I’m…

    Hermione and Rally pics

    gads I’m tired!! I’ll explain why later. Right now, gaze upon the glory of my Rally Vincent wig. Ok, so maybe it’s not quite glorious, but I’m pleased with it! Also took new Hermione pics the other day. (ok so that’s not crookshanks, it’s mrs norris… but close enough!) There were also a couple of nice outside ones – it…

    when i had dreams, again

    Oh! I forgot about my dream!! Of course I don’t remember most of it, but I remember the coolest part. Me and Catherine and Rachel and David and my grandparents went to the mall. It was kinda like our Wolfchase mall, but kinda not. Inside the department store Cath and I went to was more like a Target or something…

    when I was the hook

    Mom told me to go get the towels out of the dryer and put them in the laundry basket. No problem! I like the nice, warm towels. So I did that. Then she told me to take the wet washclothes and dish towels and things out of the washer and put them in dryer. I have this… thing. I guess…

    when i didn’t really care

    I think I know what bothers me about the illus I did for class… everything is too much on the same level, I needed to go in with shadows or highlights or colours or something to push some things back or pull some things forward. Or something. I don’t care!!!!! ARGHHHH! *runs off screaming into the night*

    Mum and I worked on Xiaoyu some more today. We got the stripes put up the sides and around the bottoms. That’s about it, and that took most of the day :\ BUT………. I finally finished my Rally Vincent wig!!! Ok, so not completely finished — I need to trim the back some more, it’s a bit too long. But…

    when i had con dreams

    Last night I woke up at 4 AM. I don’t know why. I was kinda freaked out. I was sleeping in the living room, cause my cousin is over this week and he was in my room. So I got up and made my cousin switch places with me. It still took me an hour to fall asleep after that,…

    when i came up with another idea

    Oh, of course, NOW blogger comes up. Oh well. What was I going to say? Oh! My other comic is finally coming together in mind enough that I think I could write a script for the first issue. Only thing is I can’t decide on a name. I’ve got three or four that I’ve wanted to use in the past,…

    Xiaoyu progress

    Put the yellow trim on the shorts yesterday, and I cut out all the little decorative thingies and the thing on the back out of newspaper (for Xiaoyu, of course). Today I’ll cut the decorative things out of the yellow fabric and go ahead and sew them on. Once that’s done, all I need to do is the cuffs and…
