Bristol, 2007

[lyssie]

With lavendar_menace (she's the amazon), dlly (he's the merchant-navy man we captured and made our cabin boy), nique (the scary pirate), MightyCampWoman (Pirate's sis), and me (the one with the feathers).

I mentioned I wasn't going to be easy to miss....

Last night, though, I dug out a bodice-type thing I'd done by hand and that sort of sucked (I mocked it up from a much smaller pattern). I ended up taking it apart and putting it back together again, and I'm still not really satisfied, but it worked for the time being...I was up until five a.m., in fact.



dlly, me, lavendar_menace, and nique

For more, go here. I'm lazy. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/AnaDeZorga/bristol%202007/


After we got home, we introduced dlly to Doctor Who via Horror of Fang Rock. I had totally forgotten how frakking AWESOME Leela is.

That headdress is eleven kinds of awesome and you are all kinds of handy with a needle! (Did you do the skirt too? I love it.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you =) Although, the headdress was bought (it was so nifty!), and my needlework is... spotty, at best. But, yeah, I did the skirt, too, and it really is one of the better things I've done.

Never underestimate the awesome of Leela.

Especially since she was the one companion to successfully infiltrate Gallifrey.

I know. Bad me. *goes back to writing Sarah Jane Torchwood fic that was started when she really had no brain*

Great feathers! Is the skirt handmade, too? It's very cool.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It was a good investment. *g* Yup! I'm quite fond of that skirt, though less fond of the noise it now makes (I sewed jinglies on it last night).

Looks like a fun time!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

It is. *g*

Drea! I saw your twin! It was weird...

[dreagoddess.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Okay, that's weird. I saw your twin at my Ren faire, and you see mine at yours??

[antiwesley.livejournal.com]

RenFaire is evil on many counts.
I won't go into them on account that you do like going there. :(

Let's just say I don't have a lot of good memories regarding that place, and the overall 'realist' in my head won't accept it either.
:P

Somehow I managed to miss you, even though I was looking.

It's ok. I managed to miss you, and I was looking--I had no idea what you'd be wearing, but I figured kidlet, husband, you and others. But it was really packed.

Unrelated, and you get the generic one. ;) Though I've got your cell now.

Hi! I'm writing this in your journal because either we've talked about DragonCon or you've indicated an interest in a meetup at or around Dragon. I've posted some polls and topics here:
