2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

MTAC 2007 Pics!
So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena — I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by…

Hello from MTAC 2007!
Relaxing in the room here at MTAC for a moment. So far it’s been pretty good. My only complaint about the con itself was finding out “no weapons allowed” just as we got to the door of the dealer’s room – after standing in line for 30 minutes to get there. They said I could check my sword (my fragile…

Pink Belle progress, and Utena upates
It’s almost done; should finish it tonight. I ran out of pink thread last night, so I’m going to have to get more today. I wasn’t originally going to make the cloak to go with the dress, but I had this velvet laying around – I picked it up in Nashville several months ago, because it was on the clearance…

Utena updates
I got all my Utena pieces cut out today. I used this Vogue pattern – I just used the basic jacket pieces, lengthened them and widened them at the bottom. I’m happy with it so far. It needs to be taken in, and the bottom pieces need reshaped a little (I cut extra wide, so i would have enough, and…

bouncing from one project to the next
I got a base necklace for my necklace pieces… I haven’t figured out how to attach them yet, but they look great just sitting around it on the table LOL I cut out the pattern for my belt. Dad came up with a pattern on the computer last night – he took the dimensions of my regular ANH belt, and…

Costume & Convention Plans
Weekend after next is St Patrick’s Day; we’re planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I’m – hopefully – wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I’m a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go.…

Utena photoshoot!
I didn’t chicken out, we took the Utena pics! When I got out of the car, tho, my little jewel on the front fell off and broke!! ><; Luckily I’d brought tape so we were able to fix it. Yesterday I was just kicking around different sites and found the wig I wanted for my Susan costume. So I went…

Katsucon 03 plans!
Today I’m going to get my katsucon room, my first thing for that. need to register. I still haven’t found anyone to go with me. Sad face. My grandparents said they’d take me. So at least I got them. She even said she’d pay for the plane tickets, score. Katsucon is just going to be so weird, me being by…

when there were more pics than you could shake a stick at
Title: More pics than you can shake a stick at! I found a couple of pics today. I hope no one minds me borrowing them for a second, I just wanna show off. The first ones are from The Sorceress’ Knight – whose owner made the BEST Seifer, and also made some really cool music videos. Ruby Moon & Suppi-chan,…

when everything was 100%
All costumes, 100% done. Gotta go to the bank and walgreen’s today, and back to the printer cause they screwed up my trigun print, and then to my aunt’s office to pick up some more money, and then to my aunt’s house to look for a piece of the Rinoa costume Cath thinks she lost there. Utena… I’m pretty satisfied…

Utena costume!
I’m not going to go into how long it took to make those shoulder thingies. I’m not satisfied with them but I’m running out of time. Still gotta trim the wig a little, and recurl the curls next to the face. I forgot to wear my ring for this pic 🙁 I’d better not forget to take it with me…

when i was working into the night
Whisky A-Go-Go is taped before a live studio audience! I’m fixing to go post a couple of pics at Bite it Like a Little Monkey!. I’m about 10 minutes away from finishing this blasted CG. I hate CGing now. This is the only one I’m doing for MTAC, and the only reason I’m doing it is because I’ve been wanting…

when i took some pics
It was very cold out today but I braved it anyway. I made a blue skirt out of some old blue material, put the buttons on real quick, and found the other stuff in my closet. It’s Cath’s old Rinoa jacket from Animazement, which she’s letting me fix up for Ash to wear at MTAC. I didn’t get a good…
