    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…

    On my way

    I shipped my boxes out yesterday – five all together!! Ugh, I don’t want to think about the cost. One was the big, big one that fits my Amidala Parade parasol – I also fit the cloak in there, as well as Ozma, for extra padding for the parasol. Two of them were 16x16s with most of my other stuff…

    Newsflash! Arwen progress

    I finished my Arwen dress! Ok, haha, so maybe not. But I did get the new fabric! Thanks so much to padawansguide for pointing me to syfabrics.com!

    Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans

    Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…
