Dragoncon costume updates
Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be…

Bodycasting, & New Belle & Padme White Backdrop Pics
In order to do my new Wonder Woman parts, Chase wanted to take a body cast of me. (Also will be for things in the future) So we did that today… it was so gross. And the best part? I totally passed out. For just a second or two, but I’ve never passed out before in my life, even last…

Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump
I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂 Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little…

Superhero Summer camp
Just got back from playing Wonder Woman at a kid’s summer camp! It was fun. They have different themes every week – this week was “Superheroes.” I got off work around 2 and headed up there, got my costume on. They stuck my cousin David in a rented Batman suit – it was HILARIOUS. We answered questions from the kids…

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…

Halloween 2007 Pics
These are all from saturday 😀 First we headed over to the Grotto to takes pics of Wonder Woman. As I said before, since I was already going to be wearing it that day, and Saturday was what I thought was probably going to be our last warm day (it’s not, all this week is going to be warm, yay!)…

More Dragoncon 2007 pics
I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…

DRAGONCON 2007, PART TWO!
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart – she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with…

DRAGONCON 2007 PICS!
Well, actually I’ll start on Thursday 🙂 Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to…

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…

MidsouthCon 2007 pics!
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning – it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn’t wear the wig while I…

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,…

Wonder Woman, Leia updates
I’m starting to get worried that all of my stuff won’t be done by this weekend. If my metal comes for WW tomorrow, I should be ok on that. Chase has got the two main chest pieces cut, the belt and tiara will come off the next piece I’m waiting on. My gauntlets won’t take long. Tonight I decided I…

Wonder Woman progress
I’ve been busy the last couple of nights, so I haven’t really made much progress on anything. I plan on buckling down next week and getting at least the ceremonial base dress finished… like I said, need to re-do the top. I’m not worried about the sleeves, except for where they meet on the bodice, since I didn’t get that…

when chase had 70s hair
Chase gets to go play outside shooting rockets with my mum’s class today, while i’m stuck here at stinky work 🙁 I guess this is, somehow, kinda twisted payback for all the times he had to be at work while I lazed around at his apartment. haha. He got a haircut last night; 70s Han hair is gone! It’s back…

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.…

Next up – padme lake dress — stormtrooper — imperial officer — maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that,…

2006 schedule
Atlanta St. Pat’s Parade I’ve never done this event before, and it’s still not 100% that I’m going to go, but if I can hitch a ride… Wearing regular Princess Leia, most likely, if not, battle Padme with new shinguards. MidSouthCon Friday I’ll just be there for a couple of hours most likely. I’ll be staying at the hotel sat…

2005 Convention Schedule
For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…
