thank you for your preferences
Sorry for no post monday! Or yesterday. I may have to start moving my weekly post back because Mondays are becoming too hard. And then I forget. I HAVE been working on the site though, I have all the costume pages updated with their new photoshoot pictures and notes. Yay. Speaking of, here’s a recap of the photoshoot pics I’ve…

2013 Year in Review
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

Nervous
(it’s a nerve inspired rant about Animazement… beware :P) I’m getting really really really nervous and excited. Next week!! It’s next week!! I’ve already started packing. Gathering up costume pieces and putting all my makeup together and setting it inside my big suitcase. I’m taking two suitcases, a big one on loan from my gramma and my regular one… and…

when i was she-ra
I’ve been so forgetful all day. I mean, more than usual. Con Report up at the bbs! Con was boring. We were only there for an hour, we missed everything we wanted to do. Costume was fun 😀 I already posted some pics at my LJ but I want to post them here too.

MidSouthcon 2002 & She-Ra Pics!
Here is my She-Ra costume. We really had to rush at the last minute. I ended up with the cape pinned on 😛 I had fun wearing the costume tho. I’m going to make better boot covers and wear it to Animazement. A few more pics… She-Ra, “Darth Maul” and… Ash?! Scaring the people at the wedding Me and Kevin…

She-Ra progress…
I went to the fabric store the other day. Got a few little last minute things for She-Ra (I hope MidSouthCon is still going on, they haven’t updated their page in forever and aren’t responding to emails…) and some white material and red ribbon for sakura.

She-Ra wig & Animazement plans!
I got my She-Ra wig the other day. It cracks me up 😀 I do not make a good blonde. It’s like, the same colour as my skin. I was not born to be a blonde. I’ve talked about our Animazement travel plans before, about how rough it was last year, and how rough it will be this year. We…

when i twisted my ankle
The best part of waking up is NOT Folger’s in your cup. Somehow I twisted my ankle yesterday. I woke up today and it was hurting. Not bad, but enough to make it hard to run. I took pictures of the puppies a few minutes ago, I’ll try to get them up today or tomorrow. I didn’t post Thursday because…

She-Ra wig & tiara
My She-Ra wig is on it’s way, and dad helped me carve the foam for my she-ra tiara today 😀 Now I have to figure out how to get the gold fabric around it without letting it lose it’s shape…

She-Ra Dress

Lulu, Misato, Rally and She-Ra updates
We cut the pattern for Lulu’s skirt today. As soon as my credit card payment clears, I’m going to buy the red material for Misato. Once that happens, I’ll be on the way with everything for Animazement except Xiaoyu. How about an update? Lulu – have grey fabric, have fur, various bits of jewelry, and a wig. Patterns for everything.…

She-Ra shopping
Went to Hobby Lobby (or, Hooby Looby as I originally typed) and got a few things today… beads and necklace stuff to start on my Lulu jewelry, and gold Friendly Plastic for She-Ra. They don’t carry just regular Friendly Plastic anymore… all they have are the coloured strips. I didn’t really matter what colour I got, since it’s going to…

Which Wig for She-ra?
Does the “Marilyn Blonde” Wig on this page: http://www.vavoom-gifts.com/bettie.html look enough like She-Ra’s hair? I think I’m going to get it, and try to curl it up a little more to give it a little more wave. I don’t want to spend a lot on this wig and the price on this one is much better than the ones I’ve…

She-Ra progress
Got red stuff for my she-ra cape, and some nice gold stuff for the… uh, gold stuff. That’s about it though. That gold thread was expensive.

when i made cosplay plans
All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it’s because I need your opinion! The costumes I’m planning for next year… er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato’s NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in…

Upcoming Convention Schedule
happy new year! Hmmm… so far… MidSouthCon: She-Ra and Misato Animazement: Lulu, Xianhua, and Faye Otakon: Urd That’s all I’ve got. I want at least one more costume for Otakon. I’d like to have 3 new ones for Otakon, but if I only have time for 2, that’s cool. I’m going to take Utena with me Otakon, and Ruby Moon…

Planning out Urd…
Well, I showed the Urd costume to mom. She didn’t flip, thank god. She suggested using flesh coloured material to cover that part, but I don’t want to do that. I thought maybe one strip of flesh coloured underneath my chest and then spirit gum the rest, maybe… I don’t know. I have a long time to think about it.…
