wake me up
Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it’s not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I’m still physically tired from disney. I’m finally over my…

i have things
For the first time in a few weeks I actually have things to post! WOW First let’s talk about the pet dramas. My parents rented a cabin and went on a short vacation last week. So Skye came over and stayed with us. It was nice to have company in my work office all day, since Luna won’t ever come…

a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it
Like seriously I don’t have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend… I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn’t get to do that because… oh wait. Did I ever mention…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Rebel/Endor Braids
Once again I’m posting 2 Leia hair tutorials today – again since these are similar I figure I’d post them together! Today I’m doing the Rebel/Endor hairstyle and the Hoth hairstyle – this post is for the Rebel/Endor braids 🙂 My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It’s been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles –…

I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

I got Kevin’s Link tunic made – everything but the bottom hem and putting a closure at the chest so it doesn’t slip – I tried it on him yesterday and got those places marked, so I’ll get it finished tonight. I’ll also work on his boots tonight, and start on that secret project while PR is on 8) Question…

DRAGONCON 2007 PICS!
Well, actually I’ll start on Thursday 🙂 Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to…

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Finished Padme, and other updates
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It’s a little on the light side, I may dye it again — AFTER Dcon. I’m tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight,…

Updates on everything, KC WW, Boushh, etc
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn’t get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara – I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still…

Marasiah and Endor Leia progress
I finished the designs on marasiah, yesterday, and also got my boots attached. Most of yesterday was spent on my endor poncho. I had to remake it – I’ll explain why, later. It didn’t take long – probably two hours, and I fixed some of the problems with the first one. Last night we ended up mostly doing nothing —…

Boushh and Kenner Leia progress
I actually got quite a bit done last night! Doll Leia is done, except for the belt, which will take all of 10 minutes to do, and putting a fastener on the collar. It cracks me up, I don’t think I’ve ever made anything so dumb looking LOL. Finished my endor helmet – added the bill. Fixed my rebel Leia…

to-do list 8/13/07
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven’t done anything with them in ages, and I’ve got so much left to do on everything else, I don’t know when I’d have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops,…

Endor Leia and Boushh progress
Got the colouring on the poncho about half done. Got my Boushh pants put together – I just need to put elastic for my foot on the bottom, and do the quilted/pleated/whatever they are sections on the knees (my favourite part of the costume!) But, mostly spent last night sewing on bloodstripes and watching Hot Fuzz. good times.
