haha i like it but not a lot
… i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if…

walking the children in nature
what a week! I am a permanently exhausted pigeon. Since I last left off, Scott got in Tuesday! Chase took the rest of the week off so the two of them could go get in to trouble and just hang out. Meanwhile I still had to work and was up at 5:30 every morning so I could work extra to…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place. Here’s my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 – I’ve only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we…

box full of geekery.
My rebel legion trading cards came this week – I had no idea there would be this many! LOL. They look really good though, I’m pleased.

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. 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…

Sunday @ Dragoncon 2007
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls’ room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled – they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy…

Updates & Ewok Village Leia Pics!
I’ve been pretty well KO’ed by sinus mess for a week and a half or so now… sucks! I think it’s behind me now, though. Here’s a few quick updates… Doll Leia – got the bottom and top made, the top needs to be fixed (one side hangs funny, need to pick it out and do it again), and needs…

Adventurecon 2007 Pics!
I’ll start with Friday 🙂 Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt’s car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up…

Ewok Village Leia and Funeral Padme progress
Sorry, no pics to post of stuff in progress today… My laptop died. Luckily my hard drive is ok. I bought a hard drive enclosure yesterday, and was able to get most of what I hadn’t backed up off of it, and onto my external (back up) hard drive. There were a few files and folders that I needed into…

Adventurecon 2007 Schedule, & updates
Normally I’m off at a con this weekend! Nope, this year it’s next weekend. The good news – Chase is getting off early friday, around 2. So we’ll be pulling into Knoxville around 9. Not really enough time to do anything that night, unfortunately, but better than 2 or 3 in the morning. I have no idea when I’m going…

Sewing Machine Woes and Ewok Village Leia
Well, the sewing machine still isn’t back – we’re getting it back today. Mum went to pick it up the other day, and the guy hadn’t dropped it off at the store – apparently he only visits that particular store on fridays, which he neglected to tell us. But, I did mostly finish my wig. It actually needs to be…

it’s ALIVE!!! & Ewok Village Leia updates
So the sewing machine has been cleaned and fixed, and is coming home today. I was a little worried because the guy called friday, asking us to please call about the sewing machine… and then we couldn’t get in touch with him all weekend. We were all worried it was something serious! (it was like a call from a doctor……

Funeral Padme and Ewok Leia updates
I almost finished the dress of the Padme water gown this weekend. I need to get it fitted a little better (it’s too baggy and big), and get it hemmed, and then onto dying and all that fun stuff, but I’m pretty pleased with it thus far. The fabric I bought for it, I originally had planned to use the…

Padme Nightgown & Ewok Leia progress!
I ran out of thread for the Ewok dress Tuesday night, so I pulled out the Padme steel blue nightgown again. I finally hemmed the other wing (which was starting to fray pretty badly after just laying around in a box since October), and got them pinned on to the back of the dress…. only to decide I didn’t like…

Ewok Village Leia progress!
I worked a little bit on it yesterday, but our sewing machine is in horrible shape – mum is going to take it in for cleaning this week. Hopefully that will help – it’s skipping stitches like nobody’s business. Anyway – I still need to work on the shape of the neckline, put the sleeves in, take it in a…

Ceremonial Leia Pics!
Chase & I were out and about today, and picked up a copy of The Making of Star Wars. We wanted it anyway, but after hearing there was a pic of Carrie Fisher in the ceremonial dress that I’d never seen before, I really wanted it! Yeah, after seeing that, I REALLLLLY am itching to fix mine!! I’m going to…

Costume & Convention Plans
Weekend after next is St Patrick’s Day; we’re planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I’m – hopefully – wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I’m a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go.…
