Home project-wise, I did do a lot of work on the craft room shelves and the aquarium stand; but I don't have progress pictures uploaded yet, and certainly not an afters, since I'm not finished with either project. Hopefully I'll be finishing the shelves and hanging them Saturday morning. <--- and there's your progress report for August. Fail. :c Oh, yeah, there was that little footstool, too. Yay.
Costume project-wise...oy.
Meanwhile, I had an adventure! My best friend, author Dianne Sylvan, was invited to Armadillocon last weekend, and I was invited to tag along as her +1 ("assistant", lol). Armadillocon's a sci-fi/fantasy writer's conference. Not a big, glamorous fan event; more geared towards writers and aspiring writers themselves. It was a lot of fun.
I'd fully intended to take a million pictures and bring you a wonderful and exciting blog entry about our weekend, but...I forgot. But I DO have a picture of Dianne in action:

| the café in the hotel lobby had the BEST cheesecake! |
I took the [glass!] elevator all the way to the top/9th floor of the Renaissance Hotel just so I could look down. I'm not afraid of heights, but they make me feel weird enough (and I'm enough of a wuss), that just riding the elevator and looking down was a pretty big rush, LOL.
