1. Got my car fixed. I won't go into the whole story but it's been having this "burping" problem since right before Celebration. We drove to Orlando and back with the "burping" - realized we did need to get it looked at but put it off until it died on me in traffic last week. Took it in Tuesday. $345 later it's fixed and running nicely again. Thankful it wasn't a bigger ...
So I'm still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I'd share some of the more interesting ones, including some I've never had uploaded in the first place. Here's my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 - I've only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we took about 25 pictures all together. Unfortunately the bulk of them were blurry ...
Last Saturday we did a Spin-a-thon event in MS - Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-man along with some 501st troopers, and we did photo-ops and cheered on the spinners, so it was fun. I wore Wonder Woman which I haven't worn since 2010. I hated my old wig so I wore my Johanna wig, since I hadn't started styling it yet. It's a little short and fluffy but I think it ...
So at the end of 2009, this is what I said I wanted to accomplish this year: 1. Bespin Leia - still not a thing done :) dang it. 2. Belle's Ballgown - same. :) dang it. 3. Batgirl - nope. dropped it due to $$. 4. Belle's Christmas Dress - nope. just never got to it. 5. Ame-Comi Black Canary - nope. replaced it with a different Ame-Comi. 6. Magik from New Mutants - yes! 7. Marie Antoinette - nope. ...
Sorry I haven't posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she's on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be all crumpled up. I always loved to rub her ears, ...
(This post may seem a little repetitive - this was ported over from my livejournal and recapped a lot of stuff I'd recently posted on my blog. Now that my LJ posts are part of my blog, it's very redundant!) A recap of recent costume-y stuff... MTAC came and went and we got stranded there an extra day because of the flood. It was all pretty icky, for everyone involved. ...
I'm a pic posting machine! That's the last of them, though. Four sets of photos is a lot to upload when the uploader on flickr doesn't work right for me! I've still got Huntsville pics and our cruise pics to upload soon. I'm not going to rush, though - I've got a lot of sewing to do. Which brings me to my next point, I've obviously been slacking off on ...
Got my Selene and Wonder Woman photoshoot pics uploaded to smugmug tonight. Just got Anne Boleyn left to upload. A comparison... The difference between 2007 and 2009... 2007 was a store bought corset with metal chestpiece, vs 2009 hand-made bodice with chestpiece sculpted off my bodycast. I'm not hating on my older version at all, I was going for two different looks with both of them. I'm really happy with both :)
Went out with the girls last night - got home around 2am-ish. But even before that I felt a migraine coming on. I did everything I could to divert again but no luck, around 4am it kicked into high gear. Blah... and here I'd gone nearly 5 weeks without one. today's sketch is Rogue. I don't know when I did this - I found it stuck in my sketchbook drawn on ...
Our pics are here. There's not a lot - I spent most of my time at the con either in the dealer's room or in panels :) I got my helmet for my Jane costume today, too. It's a little too big, but it'll do for now.
