    what I finished, what I didn’t get to, and 2010… Here’s what I said at the end of 2008 that I’d like to do in 09… 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia – HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I – yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary – yes 4.…

    GMX 2009 Pics

    GMX was this past weekend, it was fun! I really liked the hotel – we could stand outside our 3rd floor room and look over into the main part of the convention/people watch. And the employees were really nice 🙂 It was pretty laid back for us. Chase & Derek sat up a photo booth, I spent my time “helping”……

    Dragoncon 2009 Recap

    I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay.

    3 days left… costume updates

    I can’t believe Dragoncon is upon us, and I can’t believe how little I’ve posted this past month. I guess it’s just been everything going on and the slight weirdness of not being in my own place while working. (On that note, though, it looks like we’re closing on the house the day after we get back from Dragoncon. Kinda…

From the top down… I’ve still got to trim the wig a little. I’m really happy with what I bought for it – the white part…

    Dragoncon costume updates

    Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be…

    2008 in review

    What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…
