2005 Year in Review!
I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I’d do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It…

C3, Queen Amidala, Mara Jade, and A-Kon
C3, costume wise… I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning – not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that – and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That’s what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not…

Star Wars celebration 3 pics!!
First things first: -Got my midnight Star Wars tickets. Yay! -Got tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta Sept 1, night before Dragoncon -School is finished for the semester, whee. C3 was at an awful time of the year. Both Ash and I had so much school stuff due because it was smack at the end of the…

Lots of updates and plans
I haven’t updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday… but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I want to…

My new Serger! And Qui-Gon updates
As of yesterday morning I became the proud mom of my very own serger 🙂 I’m so excited! I can’t wait to start learning to use it. I have an appointment for weekend after next, the lady at the store is going to show me the basics. I saw Phantom of the Opera last night. Before I left the house,…

when livejournal was down
Remember how I posted about that church with the sign, and I was trying to describe the kind of things they put on there? I used “Seven days without prayer makes one weak” as an my example… Guess what their sign says this week? Weeeeird. Are they like, stalking me? LJ is down which kinda cancels the post I was…

Qui-Gon and Amidala updates
In the past week I had to make a few last minute, extremely cheap (they had a v. tight budget) costumes for the play I was involved: An “Acrobatman” shirt (blue shirt with a yellow triangle and a red “A” on the front ala Superman), 3 Devo hats, and an Elvis shirt (with attached belt so the 2 actors that…

Upcoming Con Schedule
I got mine and my father’s plane tickets for Celebration III – now I just need to get Ash’s. I registered for Akon. Next year… I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I’m thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it’s going to depend on how…

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…

Upcoming Costume Schedule

I totally want to do it, but now it’s going to screw up my schedule again. gah. So right now, it’s… A-kon: Ozma of Oz Secret!! Comic Con: Imperial Officer AoA Shadowcat Phoenix Dragoncon: Lessa…

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…
