New Belle Photos
A couple of weeks ago, I had planned to do an outdoor location photoshoot with Chasing Photography of my new Belle ballgown. Well, we got rained out. So, to make up for it, we did a white backdrop shoot of four of my Belle costumes! I’ve updated each of my portfolio pages with some of my favourites 🙂

Hogwarts Robes finished + photoshoot!
Secret project is FINISHED! I’ll try to post pics tomorrow before we leave. I took these pics a while back, when I bought a new backdrop – I want to try to put together a nice book of some of my costumes, eventually. (Sort-of, to use a portfolio – I’ve got a nice setup for my artwork, but nothing for…

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…

Belle pink dress progress
All of the light pink parts are just very basically pinned on (except the sleeves). Tonight, I’ll hem the skirt, and attach all those lovely pink parts, put the grommets in the back, and it’s done!

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…

Ceremonial Leia and Wonder Woman updates!
Today is Chase’s birthday! 🙂 We had cake last night, and macaroni grill. Last night, I put together the bodice for Belle. It’s HUGE. I cut it out at the size I usually use, which is usually a *little* big, but this looks like it’s at least 3 or 4 sizes too big. Crazy stuff. Nothing that can’t be fixed,…

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.…

Various Costume updates!
Well I haven’t gotten much done lately – been working on the website, or some art stuff. I’ve got about four projects I’m working on currently– Ceremonial Leia v.2 – Since the pattern I bought back in August has apparently disappeared into the black hole that is my sewing room, I bought another one and got it cut out, and…
