Thank you, Mattie!
I wish you were able to make it, though...we will be thinking of you!

A moment of joy and celebration to follow. First off, my wife bought me a Blue Sun shirt and Finding Serenity! Talk about feeding my habit!
Secondly, I finished the suspenders! Those little brass buckles were a pain to get right...
Let me know what y'all think:
(Oh, yeah, got the belt, too!)

(The shiny piece of brass is there to show the contrast...I brushed the brass with a military gun bluing compound to give it the authentic look)

And, the Blue Sun shirt!

I know Mal would not wear one, but I was happy to have it, so I wore it all night! Is that sad?

Oooooh, Tristan!

That looks dead on! The suspenders are great!

And you got the low slung belt just right!

Thank you! I attack the holster tonight...after I repaint my pistol. I decided I did not like the paint job, so I stripped it down yesterday.

So, did you knit any hats in your sleep last night?

Aww, thanks Tristan! I'll be there in my heart. And, who knows, maybe I'll be sent to Atlanta where next September I may just happen to run into you...? We'll see. I should know by October 11 where I'll be going and when. OOH, I am SO EXCITED!!!

Enough of that, though. HAVE A BLAST!! Your costumes really are great!

Wacky fun!

Hey, Mattie! We know you'll be with us!
Oct. 11, eh? Shiny! Although I hope they do not send you to Atlanta amongst the heathens ()...I hope for somewhere nice for you...maybe a tropical paradise or a mountaintop retreat. That would be nice!

you're so crazy. Repainting a pistol. I bought Seryn and I ubercheap fake plastic pistols. They're cute, though.

No knitting in my sleep, but I did wake up this morning with a slightly brilliant idea.

I recently got a hole in my favourite jeans, right at the top where a belt loop and a pocket meet, one of those stress points that gave out. That's what I get for buying cheap jeans. But, they are SO CUTE. I tried darning, I tried patching, nothing was working.

So my idea was thus: the jeans are my favourites because they are embroidered with flowers at the bottom of the left leg. I can embroider. Why don't I copy one of the flowers at the bottom and repeat it at the top where the hole is? I can cover up the hole and reinforce it all in one! I have similar thread colours and started giving it a whirl this morning and I think it might work. We'll see how it turns out. *crosses fingers*

Crazy? No. Just ever-so-slightly obsessed. Besides, the first paint job on my Mal pistol was done in a hurry...I know I can do a better job.

I know you don't like leather, but a leather patch might work to fix the jeans. It's a good material for stress points. But, seeing as you are going to embroider a flower there, the leather patch won't work...so forget I said anything.

If there was other leathery stuff on the jeans, or if I wanted to do leather patchwork design, then that would be cool, but flowers it is!

Finally picked up more hooks and eyes so I can finish my projects.

And a Jade necklace and a pair of teeny throwing knives. I think they might work to fit in my corset, like you suggested. They were only $10. Problem is, I'm not sure how to peace-bind them, they're so small and all that. I'll have to figure it out.

Ooo! Those are sure some shiny costumes you've got there, Tristan!

The Mal costume is great! I also like the armour your wife is wearing; it looks fantastic!

And your pirate outfit! Wonderful!!! But...I think you look more like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Have lots of fun at the con!
