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 wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
C3, costume wise... I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning - not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that - and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That's what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not checking it before packing it! I'll have to fix the necklace ...
First things first: -Got my midnight Star Wars tickets. Yay! -Got tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta Sept 1, night before Dragoncon -School is finished for the semester, whee. C3 was at an awful time of the year. Both Ash and I had so much school stuff due because it was smack at the end of the semester! I had my finals the days after I got back ...
I haven't updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday... but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to do the tan hood thing, or a cape. I'm thinking ...
As of yesterday morning I became the proud mom of my very own serger :) I'm so excited! I can't wait to start learning to use it. I have an appointment for weekend after next, the lady at the store is going to show me the basics. I saw Phantom of the Opera last night. Before I left the house, mom made me promise I wouldn't come home wanting to make ...
Remember how I posted about that church with the sign, and I was trying to describe the kind of things they put on there? I used "Seven days without prayer makes one weak" as an my example... Guess what their sign says this week? Weeeeird. Are they like, stalking me? LJ is down which kinda cancels the post I was about to make there, so what the hey, I'll make ...
tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new - only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma. MidSouthCon (April 1-3, Memphis) Padme Parade gown (which is what I'm working on now - I have 3 months to finish it, so it *should* be done... if not, it'll be at CIII) Celebration III (April 21-24, Indianapolis) Qui-Gon Jinn (for my dad) Mara Jade (MAYBE... it all depends on ...
In the past week I had to make a few last minute, extremely cheap (they had a v. tight budget) costumes for the play I was involved: An "Acrobatman" shirt (blue shirt with a yellow triangle and a red "A" on the front ala Superman), 3 Devo hats, and an Elvis shirt (with attached belt so the 2 actors that wore it could change into it easily backstage). The Elvis shirt I ...
I got mine and my father's plane tickets for Celebration III - now I just need to get Ash's. I registered for Akon. Next year... I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I'm thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it's going to depend on how things look at the beginning of the year. MidSouthCon- I'm ...
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 to my crap last minute one from 2002). Celebration III- Obi-Wan ...
