A-Kon 2004 Pics!
I’m actually not too worn out from Akon!! HP3= liked it. I thought I’d fall asleep in it, but I didn’t! I did my 2 panels on friday, and they both went well. I wore all my costumes and even spent time OUT of costume. I actually ate well. I met some really cool people in the bar of the…

Katsucon 2004 pics!
I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

when i went through a bunch of stuff
Yay! My elfwood gallery is updated! Now all my Zone47 stuff is in there with it – which I’m happy about because it seemed like zone47 was pretty ignored, I’d only get maybe 4-5 comments a year in my zone gallery. My loth gallery always got more attention, but after they took my HP stuff out of my gallery there…

when i coughed up a lung
I have bruised my ribs coughing. But I’m finally starting to get better. Tomorrow is a big day! I’m really excited. I’ll explain more later. Katsucon is weekend after next. Tohru is done except for one little thing, but I still have a lot to do on Belldandy. I’m really, really excited about it now, because I’m going to be…

ribbons
I finished the basic top for Tohru over the weekend. I still just need to make the sailor collar and attach the cuffs, sew on the buttons and put the white ribbon along the bottom. And I keep forgetting to get some stupid yellow ribbons for my hair.

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…

I haven’t updated in a while; I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy! Finished my Quidditch uniform – see the site. Other costume updates… Arwen: The artist making my tiara emailed me yesterday to say it was finished – I’m so excited to see it! I also have everything else I need for the costume except fabric paint. I’ve started cutting…

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…
