Stole the idea from about everyone on my flist, since it looks fun! So here it is, everything I've sewn in 2009.

( Pictures and geekery )

Was TONS of fun. Different from last year. We didn't meet as many new people, but I went to more panels, which were great fun. We did meet two very awesome Romanas, so that was good ( Read more... )

Just got back from Who Party Toronto. What a blast! I had loads of fun chatting to other Who fans, got my picture taken a lot, got interviewed for the flippin' SPACE CHANNEL. And best of all, I met ROB SHEARMAN, who is an absolutely lovely man and we had a great chat about my favourite Big Finish Audios AND he complimented my Five costume ( Read more... )

And it didn't cost me any money!

I remembered seeing some very Five-esque sweaters at a Tennis shop down on Bayview, so I decided to head over and check them out. Yes, they had v-neck cable knit sweaters that were just about perfect, FOR 250 DOLLARS! Seriously, who pays that much for a sweater? I think I'll just have to keep combing second hand shops and eBay for the perfect one.

I was in The Bay today doing some Christmas shoppin when I found THE MOST PERFECT FIVE SWEATER! Seriously, It was cream-coloured cotton, cable-knit, v-neck. The only difference was that the coloured stripe around the neckline was maroon instead of orangey-red, which is easily enough fixed. The only kicker is, they only had two sizes left - L and XL ( Read more... )

I got back from the cottage this afternoon, and right back on my lappy! The cottage was AWESOME. Lots of naps, reading, and listening to Big Finish Audios. I've listened to a bunch of the Six and Eight audios. I love Evelyn and Frobisher! Why couldn't Six have such awesome companions on screen? Charley's pretty kick-ass, too. And I love her accent ( Read more... )

Polaris was FANTASTIC! Especially Saturday. Because we found... hold onto your hats... EIGHT DOCTORS! That's almost a complete set! Two had to go home early do to not feeling well, but other than that we were only missing One and Seven. We decided to enter that masquerade last minute, and guess what, won best in class artisan! Ahhh! I've been in ( Read more... )

So basically, Polaris starts this Friday and the sewing panic has started to set in.

I got my chemise dress to a point where I can try it on, and all I can say is PRETTY!
