So, San Diego report! Wednesday! We got up at 4AM, went over to Ash's house and picked her up. We got to the airport a little before 5 and got checked in. Nothing was open so we just had to sit around. We ended up in like, the loser part of the airport I'd never been in before. So we're sitting there, and this lady working for Northwest makes an announce ...
Pics from this morning and yesterday: Wednesday and Thursday at Comic Con A cool shot of part of the Grand Canyon from the airplane... My swimsuit I made for this summer!! I'm the "Spider Loser" New lightsaber that I bought at Preview Night last night! Luke's severed hand!!! AUUUUGH! (that's the real one!) Me wearing my new Arwen dress :) OMG!! flashbacks to C3!! THIS LINE IS CAPPED!!! AUGH!!
I finished my Arwen dress! Ok, haha, so maybe not. But I did get the new fabric! Thanks so much to padawansguide for pointing me to syfabrics.com! I've still got to take the black fabric back (not a problem, they know me there), and send back the white fabric. I also finally bought my trim... should be arriving soon. I got my fabric parts for Leia yesterday, too. I ...

I'll have to fix the necklace ...
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 ...
I think next year I'm going to make my own swimsuit. I just spent 2 hours looking around online for a decent swimsuit. It's ridiculous. I like a two piece - but it's impossible to find a two piece that doesn't look like it'll fall off if I decided to... oh, I don't know, MOVE? Seriously, I've got to have a substantial top. I do too much rough housing when I'm ...
