Ni hao!

I am back.



So China was very impressing. For better and worse.The rich and old culture versus the miserable lives of the poor people of today's communistic China. Of course we were shown only the splendid side of the country like The Great Wall and The Forbidden City but still the destitution of many people was visible. So in a way, it was ( Read more... )

Magna cum laude! Magna freaking cum laude! I may be able to get M from my Swedish final exam! 222 points total, if I counted right. Huzzah!

I never really thought this could be possible. I was so sure to have Lubenter, if gods were mercifull. Thank you Oden!

But I should not rejoice too much beforehead because I may still get only Cum laude. But ( Read more... )

This is coming a bit late, but anyway:

At last the exams are over! Not that I took them so seriously anyway...

But nevertheless I am free! For a moment. Till next Wednesday (religion exam...).

This should be celebrated.

So, my Swedish exam was a disaster, but I never thought of anything else. I think I'll propably get lubenter. Or, if I get lucky ( Read more... )

Deluxe version of the Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars...

Like Igor from Dork Tower would say if he were a woman: It must be mine!

Though Igor is such a fanboy that he would propably want it anyway.

But since the ordinary version is 50 $, the Deluxe Version, I think, will be much more expencive. But can't help. I just have to start ( Read more... )

I got my silk dupion today. It is too dark. A bit. It is very nice color and all, but too dark. But since I have already paid for it, it will have to do, and after all it is not so bad. I knew it was not a good thing that I was not able to print a color copy of the gown for myself before buying any fabric. *sigh*

And I also realized that I don't ( Read more... )

The trailer was breathtaking! *drools*

After deciding to leave the green robe for now and stick to my very original idea of doing the Packing dress from AOTC instead I've been much busy contemplating the gown. It is funny how at first many Star Wars costumes look quite simple (or not simple, but like you could actuslly do them without so much of an ( Read more... )

It's been to quiet here.

Still haven't done anything for the green robe. Shame on me. And now I am not even sure if I want to do anything with it before the premiere.

But I finally finished that damn rococo costume. Or no really, since I have not done the shirt yet. But I think that will have to wait. I don't need that costume for anything just now ( Read more... )

Hum hum.

I did some costume related things yesterday. I dropped in at Villisilkki, a superb silk fabric store, and asked about their silk velvet selection. They have one green fabric that would work for the green robe quite well, it is just maybe a little bit too light colour and maybe too thin. But I have to line it anyway and with lining it  ( Read more... )
