Tarot Card Meme

Meme found in a few friends list entries today:

You scored as X - Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel of Fortune represents the cyclical nature of all reality. Life is change. Stability is stagnation. All things pass. Yet for all that things change, the essentials remain the same. The wheel turns - day becomes night becomes day, rain becomes sun becomes rain, joy becomes pain becomes joy. If well aspected in a Tarot reading, this card can indicate good fortune through change, the wheel turning for now to a better position. If badly aspected this card can indicate what appears to be misfortune. It can also represent resistance to the inevitability of change. </td> X - Wheel of Fortune 75% I - Magician 69% XI: Justice 56% II - The High Priestess 50% XIII: Death 50% III - The Empress 50% IV - The Emperor 44% XIX: The Sun 44% XVI: The Tower 38% XV: The Devil 31% 0 - The Fool 25% VIII - Strength 25% VI: The Lovers 13% Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

Still making progress on my Terra costume. Today, I adjusted the lining I sewed some weeks back and added boning to it. Never used boning in anything I’ve sewn before so I hope I did it right. It’s been a few years since I last made an evening gown and none of my previous costumes had required it.

And I’m on my last flower! I just need to fill in the center of the petals and I’m done! ^_^ So, fabric should be cut tomorrow and hopefully, I’ll have a dress later in the week.

I have a dress! (Or I will soon, anyway)

Ooh, I got a lot done today! ^_^ I finished my last sequined flower, cut my fabric, and did nearly all the sewing for the outer layer of the dress. I’m stitching the hem by hand now and still need to put in the lining and add some trim. Might post a progress picture over the weekend if there’s time.

Then, it’ll be more work on accessories. I’m a bit worried now about whether I’ll need to change stuff with scarves. I tried putting the pink and yellow ones I did over the dress this afternoon and thought they looked somewhat too subdued colorwise to go with the dress. ^_^;; Maybe, it’ll look better after I get the purple one done since it won’t be pastel.

Only a week left until I leave for Otakon. I hope I can figure out the remainder of this costume and get everything ready and packed in time! My Fruits Basket costumes should be fine but the Twelve Kingdoms outfits will probably need ironing. The huge sleeves on my nyosen uniform like to wrinkle into folds just from the weight of the fabric when it’s on a hanger. -_-; Need to see if I can make my hair extension less wobbly, too; it can get kind of crooked after a while.

I’m thinking I should try to get another compact flash card for my camera, too, to make sure I don’t run out of room for photos. I only have the little one that came with the camera and one other and they hold about 120-130 pictures together. And I’m guessing that might not be enough for a con as big as Otakon. ^_^;
