	Now that my can can is totally completed, my 'dream list' for the year is: 1. Willie Scott gown (finished the gloves, have the dress pieced together but not embellished) 2. Sarah's ball gown from "Labyrinth" 3. a gown inspired by "The Duchess" Don't know if I'll get to #3, the baby keeps me busy...but if the stars align just right, I'll have #1 and #2 ready for Dragon Con. -----signature----- Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.--Cecil B.

On that note, if I get two costumes done this year for D*Con it will be a miracle. -----signature----- http://makingmischief.net/ "In this interdependent world, war is outdated." -The Dalai Lama

	As the same as always, my list for this year is very short, but that's fine with me, I've got wedding planning until August. Vash the Stampede from Trigun for my fiance - take a look at my holiday icon Dark Mousy from DN Angel...if said fiance will allow it... Krad from DN Angel...if said fiance will allow Dark Fix up my wedding gown - sewing on fallen off beads and making a bustle if I can on it Make veil - if I decide to make it rather than buy it Finish fifth version of Pastel Gown Yeah, pretty short compared to previous years. ~Spacelady -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?"

	I guess I'm in the camp of not being as prolific this year as I was in past years. But the two costumes that did get done - Boushh and Chewbacca - were worth all the time and effort. This year will be different and it all depends on how quickly things progress: Queen Isabella, from The Fountain - I'm still in the process of gathering materials for this costume (mostly a ridiculous amount of pearls and trim to get - do you know how many bloody pearls are in this costume? - it's frankly astounding!) and I hope to start it this spring. The goal is to have it finished in time for a formal reveal at DragonCon. Leia's Rebel Briefing Uniform with Poncho - It's the last film Leia costume that I haven't done. I've got a projected start date of the middle of this month for this costume, once I finish up some last-minute projects. And I have a list of upgrades and tweaks to the Leia costumes I have now and to my husband's Han costumes - nothing drastic but if he and I lose the weight we plan to this year, some things will have to be taken in for sure and that's I chore I'm looking forward to. Other than that, I have a few costumes that will be started this year but they will not be completed until Celebration 5: AOTC Padme Costume - It's a secret but the correct movie has already been guessed right at the Padme Purple Senate Gown thread. Now I leave it up to you wonderful ladies (and gentlemen, too) to guess which AOTC costume it is. Custom-designed Leia Gown, post-ROTJ - I've had this gown roiling my head for years, essentially a formal gown in similar scale to the elaborate Padme gowns. Granted, Leia has the Bespin gown but this would be something appropriate for a formal diplomatic ball or other such high-level occasion. And there will be formalwear designed for Han as well. Other than that, I have a few additional projects that may or may not get started this year but are certainly slated for 2010, including Han's Hoth outfit (I would love to have that finished in time for C5) and some Leia graphic novel costumes I'd like to realize some day (maybe in time for C5 also, since some of them are relatively simple). So here's to a prosperous and prolific costume year for all of us! -----signature----- Beret New album: http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s147/LeiaYT1300/ "Well, looks like I'm stuck here.

	I'm just kinda playing it by ear this year... not really making any kind of set schedule Here's the stuff I would like to do this year: Silk Spectre I from Watchmen (movie version) - working on this now remake of my Belle ballgown from Beauty and the Beast - to go with my husband's remake/update of his Beast costume from a couple of years ago Golden Age Black Canary from DC Comics Leia's Bespin Gown - I want to finally start on the embroidery for it - I've had it basically put together for a long time now, I just need to buckle down and get back to it Princess Nuala from Hellboy II Dawn - I started on a Dawn costume for Dragoncon last year and had to set aside to get everything else done, I want to finish it this year. Magik from New Mutants a different Poison Ivy outfit from Batman something from Marie Antoinette I'd like to do another concept art Padme outfit. Don't know which. another Wonder Woman variation... maybe Belle's christmas dress from Beauty and the Beast/Enchanted Christmas My husband also got me a lovely new top hat for my Zatanna costume for christmas, so I've been looking for something else to use it for, and I have a few things from this past year I need to revisit... who knows, I may end up only doing 2 or 3 things from that list kinda like I did with my 2008 list LOL -----signature----- http://kelldar.com/me/costuming My flickr gallery: http://flickr.com/photos/kelldar/

	I'm heading abroad next fall for a fellowship, so I'm trying to cut back and save money, but I still need some sewing projects to keep my fingers happy. Finish up: Juhani from KotOR I For Graduation: Hurricane Pixie's 'princess' dress from the collaborate fiction my friends wrote, The Killer Pixies Maybe make since I have some materials for them already: Manga-style Super Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon Crystal from Pokemon (the female player character from Pokemon Crystal) Start working on in India, time and materials allowing: Q'Anilia from the KotOR comics I hear textiles are beautiful and cheap in India, so I'm sure I could find something lovely for Q'Anilia's purple robes. At the very least, I'll bring back the fabric for it. -----signature----- Padawan to Commander-DWH Under the Shadow of the Builders- http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/29386724/p1/ Fanfiction Web Site- http://faraway.toweroftime.com SoA's India Blog- http://jenna-song.blogspot.com

Well in the other thread you said 'Machine Embroidery', since you said the movie was right in this thread, but said nothing of the picnic dress I thought of all of the other embroidered possibilities. Looking at the Leia costumes and how comfy and simplistic they are, I noticed that the blue poncho seemed very 'you' - comfy, elegant, simple in form and design, but still a challenge and something new for you That is my Sherlock Holmes breakdown lol -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	I have quite a clear idea of what costumes I would like to do, and hopefully my economy will allow it. 1 classic ANH Leia 2 1860's daydress 3 redo my corset for the picnic gowns 4 start on a secret costume I've had in my head for a couple of years. The two first ones are the main costumes for this year. -----signature----- "That is the beauty of grand opera; you can do anything...as long as you sing it" Anna Russell

Brilliant deduction!" I was never very good at building a mystery anyway. I always leave too many clues. You are right, though. I chose it because of its silhouette (will hide my big hips well; though curling my bum-length hair will be a very interesting experience ) and its simple elegance, but also because it's a gown that hasn't been done too often. All of Padme's AOTC gowns are beautiful in their own right with some that hold a very strong popularity like the Picnic Gown, the Packing Gown and the Senate Gown - of which each have been done so beautifully by ladies of great skill in our circle - so I felt it might be nice to do a Padme that was just a tad off the radar. It means not just machine embroidery in my future but also fabric dyeing, for which I have done only a little here and there over the years. If anything, this venture will mean a whole host of new experiences for me and new skills to learn. 'Hope you like the cuddly monkey, Kristin. I though the alien might be fun but just not as cuddly. -----signature----- Beret New album: http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s147/LeiaYT1300/ "Well, looks like I'm stuck here.
