365 Project – Picnic Padme
So I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but all of it added up to nothing, pretty much. We ran errands, I messed with the serger, vacuumed, gave the dog a bath, cleaned… etc. I didn’t really mess with costumes, I’m kinda stuck at the moment until I can go shopping. today I am going to finish the sleeves on…

up too early & a sketch
I’m up early because I have a dr appt this morning. ugh! A few people suggested I make a facebook page (as opposed to my profile). I waffled about it for a while… because I really didn’t see the need when I have a public profile anyone can friend. But I asked Chase if I should and he said “sure”……

365 Project – Padme Picnic Preview
I’m going to have to start posting in-progress pieces in order to post something everyday – I’ve got too much sewing to do for Dragoncon to be able to draw every night. So here’s today’s sneek peek. This week has been dragging on. Next week will be worse – Kevin will be away at camp! So work will be boring.

365 Project – Padme Family Gown + Gaga Progress
I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven’t been able to upload pics – but only it certain places. I can’t upload using flickr’s main uploadr, which I’ve never had an issue with before – I have to use the basic uploader…

365 Project – Padme Travel Gown
We got no work done last night. It was a night for vegging out. We picked up dinner instead of cooking, watched the Tudors (one more episode and we’re caught up – I really like the woman playing Katherine Parr, she’s really pretty) and played Star Wars Legos. I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one,…

365 Project – Padme Cut Senate + More Redbirds Pics
today’s princess is… Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase’s pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here’s my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase’s… We just look like we’re having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field…. I just…

eyelashes are not bugs
today we have Padme… So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I…

Amidala Senate art
I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go 🙂 So I’ve changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I’ve dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense – if…

365 Project – Black Invasion Amidala
Got up this morning and went to the mall. Then to Target. Then to Best Buy. Then to Hastings (comics!). Then to Lowe’s. Then back home for a few – then to the airport to drop Tom off. Then to Hancock’s (bought Lady Gaga fabric, new thread holder, yay memorial day coupons). Then to Lowe’s (again). Then to… the zoo.…

365 Project – Padme Nightgown + Crazy Emails
Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past – always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I’d been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails…

Mandalorian art
sorry it’s taken me so long to get a new one up. This one took a while, in between cleaning and organizing and everything going on. this is my mandalorian costume from 2006. it took forever to do 😛

Bruises, Randomness, Art
Things have been busy. My great-great aunt Louise died earlier this week. She was 95. Her husband, my great-great uncle died in 1964 so I never knew him. The graveside service was interesting. It was pouring rain and we were huddled under a leaking tent, but the minister who spoke was straight out of a movie, an old-fashioned country minister,…

Jaina Solo art
I had to hurry to get this one finished to post it today, so I’ll post a little more chit chat tomorrow… now I’m going to bed 😛 Jaina Solo Tomorrow is Star Wars in Concert so I won’t have any pic to post tomorrow – but I’ll make a post hopefully about it when we get home 🙂

365 Project – Padme Funeral Gown + Closet progress
Nothing else to say today. Frustrated with my bins at the moment just because I can’t find 3 of the tops. Where the heck did they go?? eta: Ok I’m back. I found the tops so I mostly finished off the closet, still got a bit to do – haven’t seen some of my costumes yet, but mostly older and…

71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs
Did a quick count off the top of my head, and that’s what I came up with. 71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs. Stupid shoes. Stupid wigs. Having issues with fitting everything right now. Or, rather, finding places for everything. Really it’s not so much MY costumes. All of mine would fit just fine in that closet with no issues.…

So let me post today’s princess in the meantime, Mara Jade as Arica. this one was not just drawing for fun but reference as well, I’m going to be making this costume in the next couple of…

moo cards!
My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons – not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out – but hopefully I’ll remember them at dcon this year. I put…

today’s art, Oola
today’s princess is Oola 😛 Starting to freak out about friday (getting my infusion), but looking forward to having the rest of the day off after that. Planning on cleaning and working on the house that afternoon, maybe drawing a bit. Last night I worked on my office and got it about 80% clean, I”ll finish it up tonight.

More Closet work, and Boushh art
So yesterday when I got home I cleared out the closet in the prop room and started moving my boxes in. Right now I’ve just got index cards taped to the outside until I get the rest of my moo cards in (hopefully they’ll be here tomorrow.) I need to unpack about 2 more big bins, and everything is pretty…
