Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

when mtac was over
We are leaving Nashville! I hate to leave this broadband connection behind… Yesterday was fun! Kevin got to go onstage in his Link costume, he loved it. I got Best Master Craftsmenship….. which was kind of a given since I was the only Master entered in Craftsmenship, lol. But still! We walked over to the Parthenon and took pictures yesterday…

Katsucon 2004 pics!
I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

belldandy & katsu 04 updates…
Woooo you can tell I’ve been busy… I’ve been getting a lot of stuff done but no time to make a post about it! (actually I just forgot) Bell is about… oh, maybe 85% done. I have to finish it today – this is my last day to work on it as I have to ship it out tomorrow. If…

Here’s a sneak peek… I didn’t put the wig on but everything else is done!

when i went through a bunch of stuff
Yay! My elfwood gallery is updated! Now all my Zone47 stuff is in there with it – which I’m happy about because it seemed like zone47 was pretty ignored, I’d only get maybe 4-5 comments a year in my zone gallery. My loth gallery always got more attention, but after they took my HP stuff out of my gallery there…

Manga Belldandy progress!
Here’s the finished corset and skirt – still working on all the other stuff. And here’s my jewelry! I picked this up at the mall a while back, it reminded me of Belldandy, so I saved them for this costume 🙂

Updates & Katsu 04 schedule
Finished Tohru – will update with pictures after the convention, but if you click on her in progress button in my gallery you can see the finished product. I finally found grommets the right size for Bell – will start putting them on tomorrow. Once that’s done it’s mostly just going to be little stuff left to do – details…

when i coughed up a lung
I have bruised my ribs coughing. But I’m finally starting to get better. Tomorrow is a big day! I’m really excited. I’ll explain more later. Katsucon is weekend after next. Tohru is done except for one little thing, but I still have a lot to do on Belldandy. I’m really, really excited about it now, because I’m going to be…

when i went over my schedule
Argh. I came over here to write something important, and now I’ve forgotten it. Must have not been too important. So I’ll do something else. Got my Katsucon prereg confirmation today. We’re flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won’t be doing any…

Belldandy updates & SDCC plans!
Finally got my blue material for Bell, and all the stuff I needed. And white suede. Yum 🙂 Booked my hotel for Comic Con today, also. I have no idea who is going me – at this point me and Ash definitely. I really wish Cath and Melissa to come, but I just don’t know at this point. Either way…

Manga Belldandy progress
Went to the fabric store with the intent of buying white vinyl and some light blue material. Came away with 2 patterns, lots MORE beads for Bell, and no fabric. Basically, I decided to scrap the darker blue part of the Bell dress that I’ve already made and remake it differently. The one I originally made… I don’t think it’s…

Dad needs to be Qui-Gon
I think that in my off time in between MTAC and Comic Con (which is to say, in between April and July), I’m going to make my dad a Qui-Gon Jinn costume. He rented a jedi costume back for Halloween 2000 and made a good Qui-Gon, so I know he wouldn’t mind doing it again. That way whenever I need…

Shopping and Manga Belldandy updates
Fixed some random broken and non working things around the site. Any outside links should NOT open in these little windows – so let me know if you see any that do. I think I got them all but I can’t be sure. I finally decided on my second Dragoncon 2004 costume – I’m not telling what it is though!…

when i was going to new orleans
I have 2 papers to write tonight and studying for my math final exam tomorrow to do, but I don’t feel like it right now! So, here’s a reeeeeeallly long post. I’m leaving for New orleans on monday and I’m nowhere near done with my dress. Tomorrow night when I get home I need to bust out some fabric paint…

Upcoming Costume Updates!
I haven’t updated in a while; I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy! Finished my Quidditch uniform – see the site. Other costume updates… Arwen: The artist making my tiara emailed me yesterday to say it was finished – I’m so excited to see it! I also have everything else I need for the costume except fabric paint. I’ve started cutting…

more scheduling
some random notes: -Mom cleaned my Belldandy dress and managed to get all the nasty mud stains off the back of the white skirt (from when it rained at dragoncon). She also cleaned my plugsuit and got those stains off of it, too. -Almost finished with my quidditch cloak. the sweater lady FINALLY called and said she’d have my sweater…
