	I failed to get much of anything done last year. I didn't even post to the project thread last year because I just had that feeling I wasn't going to get anything done. Go in with a defeated attitude, and you come out of the year defeated I guess. All I completed were 4 pair of converted Battlestar OD BDUs, 1 BSG Duty Blues uniform for a friend, 1 X-wing Pilot costume for myself, and a 1/8th completed Marie Antointte (the movie) inspired 18th C gown. Why is it only 1/8th complete? Because I rushed it and the bodice doesn't fit correctly. I didn't finish the trim either on the sleeves and skirt. Oh, and the skirt hem ripped the night I wore it so now I have to totally resew the skirt But my New Years resolution is to be even more productive this year, and have more of a can do attitude! I have too many projects in the works that I've gotta get done before any major life altering occurrences take place. I know I can't do ALL of these this year. But I'll do what I can, and carry over to 2010. 1) Finish a second set of Battlestar Duty Blues for a friend (must be done by end of February!) 2) Finish my 1860s Christmas Day Dress ensemble (for Dickens fair & Costume Con in May). 3) Fix my 18th C gown so I can wear it to Dragon Con and Costume Con. --------- Beyond this point, no particular order or priority assigned yet------------- 4) Padme Ep II Packing Gown 5) Possible secret costume for Dragon Con 09 (depends if I can get in shape for it and if others in the group will be a go) 6) Padme Ep I Parade Gown 7) Zam Wesell 8) Stormtrooper 9) Padme Ep III fuzzy dressing gown 10) Husband wants a 19th Century costume for Dickens Fair 11) Harlequin Can Can from Moulin Rouge 12) Battlestar Flight suits 13) Padme Picnic Dress re-do 14) Redo my purple senate headdress (It's 1/3 of the way done actually) 15) Velvet robe for Padme Family Gown 16) Cassiopeia Battlestar Galactica 1970s 17) 1860's pink striped ball gown ------- No fabric for things below, but they might work their way in because hubby needs costumes -------------- 18) White "Ship of light" Battlestar 70's Costume for my husband 19) Major Healey for my husband 20) Jeannie's Evil Twin Sister (I know stormtrooperprincess is planning this. I've had it in mind ever since I made my first Jeannie costume and my husband really started encouraging me to make it last year). -----signature----- Kay Dee's Costumes: http://kay-dee.net/costume The San Francisco Fan Force: http://www.sffanforce.com Rebel Legion - Endor Base: http://www.endorbase.org

	Here's my short list for '09. Hopefully I don't get a room mate, so I'll have a sewing area here on campus. Finish Atonement Green Gown This is almost done- and out of my hands. I've got a wonderful friend who is more talented than I who is going to finish this one off. I'm just running around being weird about shoe choices and hair. Finish Black Corset Gown from Episode Two This is about 50% done right now. And then onto new projects.... Princess Serenity from Sailor Moon This has been in my head for a while, and I've been planning out how to translate a cartoon gown into real life, while keeping the "princess" aspect to it. This is the big project this year. and my wish list... -flame handmaiden gown (TPM) -new padme costume. Haven't figured out which one. maybe picnic, maybe one of her senator costumes. that's about it. Good luck to everyone! -----signature----- "Go, then. There are other worlds than these."

	Finish: 1) BPRD Agent (selma blair auction clean-up style) 2) 10th Doctor (brown suit and blue suit) 3) CW Jedi General/Biker All these only need a few bits and pieces either buying or making. If I have the money, the time and the will to get yet another costume, I might do a DS9/Nemesis grey-shoulder starfleet uniform. -----signature----- Aayla Secura ROCKS!!!

	The to finish list got a bit bigger as I have started five Regency dresses so my friends have something to wear to a Regency Picnic I sprung on them for this weekend I may have just started a spencer for myself as well.... The list goes: Regency dresses, including my lizzy dress and spencer (inspired by the BBC 95 roduction) Swiss dress aka "Kampfrau" in lilac and burgundy. New Wulsthaube cover and probably nice huge Wulst to go with it to earn the name "mushroom hood". Spanish white silk brocade c1600 ensemble. I may have ironed the pieces last night and sighed a bit over how much I love the fabric. Mara Jade- I need to organise shin guards, they have been putting me off finishing this thing for too long. Silk Spectre II, I just bought the overlocking thread so I may as well get me some fabric soon.. (PVC rather than latex, it lasts longer and breathes better.. it actually breathes I men ). Jem, for a group. So fun and tacky! Heuke, cloak type garment for my Cleves ensembles, it's mostly cut out just needs assembling. Victorian Hunting outfit. About 75% done but I'm going to take out the lining and redo it. And there are a few more that may be subbed in for this list depending on what happens this year -----signature----- http://costumes.glittersweet.com/index.htm Truth! Freedom! Justice!

	I'm going to have to make a tough choice. There are several costumes I want to create, but I only have the budget for one. I'm going to have to chose between: - Zuckuss - 4-LOM - RA-7 Death Star Driod - Galen Marek (in Sith Stalker armor) - Greedo I'm leaning towards the Sith Stalker armor, but I'm afraid no one will know who he is. (FYI: In the alternate ending to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Galen Marek is so beaten from his duel with Vader, that the Emperor has to fit him with special armor to keep him alive, just like vader. This "alternate ending" wasn't popular, I couldn't figure out how to unlock it.) I'll probably just go with Zuckuss. The only reason why I've chosen these, is because I want to join the 501st, but I don't want to be a Stormtrooper or a Darth Vader.

	I've only got two things this year. I only had one last year and didn't even attempt it. • my own personal female jedi. I've been inspired by several who have thought "outside the box" on this one. • possible Barriss Offee costume for a friend. That is all I'm saying because time is so short. A year seems to fly by quickly. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29819847/p1 *** Proud master of KotORBF2Female_Revan Friend of Mrs. Ben C. Blocked

When you see that weird angled shot where you run forward to fight Palps, run to where Vader is instead. Beat him and the Dark Side ending is yours! -----signature----- Aayla Secura ROCKS!!!
