Belle photoshoot
I checked the weather last week and this weekend was supposed to be fine, but we woke up Sunday morning to a very overcast sky and impending thunderstorms. I got dressed and we tried to get down to the location before the bottom fell out, but by the time we got there it was already raining pretty good. There was…

sewing vs sleeping
Last night we went out for my mum’s birthday, then I ran by the fabric store to pick up some seam tape. I was planning on working on my pleats, but Chase wasn’t feeling good, and I had the beginnings of a migraine, so we both ended up in bed and asleep by 8:30. wow. Had weird dreams all night…

Updates
So, Saturday I got my base dress cut and sewn together: And the interior support cut out and pinned together. Got my chiffon dyed: And cut, and started playing with pleats: I stopped because I really don’t have a thread that matches very well, and if I’m going to be sewing the pleats down, I need it to match.

Leia Progress
I haven’t updated in a while! Well I’m not making Meg for Halloween. I opted for ANH Leia instead. I’ve already made the dress twice. I didn’t like the first one, so I got a different fabric and a different pattern and tried again. I’m still not 100% satisfied but it’ll have to do, as I don’t have the extra…

2005 Convention Schedule
For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…

Dude I have really messed around getting ready for MTAC. I messed up on my pre-reg, I messed up on getting an art table, and now I’m not going to have a new costume. đŸ˜› I’m hardly going to have time to finish Padme for MidSouthCon weekend after next, and I forgot I have to finish my cousin’s Link costume…

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…

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…

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…
