...I HAD THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE! :D

*ahem*

Hokay, so Momocon is TOMORROW. DX So much to do! But it's a testament to my sewing skills that I honestly believe I can get it all done today, even though I have to work for most of the day!

Here's what's left to do on Miyako:

• hit the helmet with a few more coats of spraypaint
• comb out the wig
• make the vest ( ( Read more... )

I FINALLY got some good pictures of my Roberta costume earlier today. Aside from some very minor repairs before NashiCon, this costume is 100% DONE, and I won't ever be this accurate again while wearing it - just dyed my hair black (though some would argue that her hair IS black, but whatever) and I'm returning the suitcase tomorrow.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. Katsucon was possibly the worst convention I've ever been to. But not because of the people - the people I met actually made it tolerable and even amazing at parts. The convention was just plain poorly organized, cramped, expensive, and on top of that a constant stream of bad luck seemed to befall me and my friends. And now ( Read more... )

Okay, so fortunately I'm at about the 99% mark on all three of the costumes I'm taking with me to Katsucon. Which is good, because if I had any more work to do this week I'd probably explode. But that's beside the point. Katsucon is now in 2 days, 22 hours and 56 minutes!

PROGRESS:

Eruka: 97% done - just have to do stuff to Otama Jackson
Roberta: 96% ( Read more... )

Katsucon is in LESS THAN A WEEK. OH CRAP.

Well, it's a good thing I'm mostly done with all my cosplay stuff! And tomorrow's a work day, so I should definitely finish everything tomorrow. But here's a checklist, because I loooove making lists:

( リスト )

So. Katsucon is now in 8 days, 10 hours, 7 minutes and 58 seconds. D=

Fortunately I've officially put Cornelia on hiatus. I have no idea when I'll get around to making that costume, but it WILL happen. I just need a better wig. Instead I'm dragging one of my oldest costumes, Tao Jun from Shaman King, out of retirement. I'll be restyling the wig ( Read more... )

...most of which are secret, because they're THAT AWESOME. And guaranteed to break brains. *facepalm ( Read more... )

So I got the Eruka wig today in the mail. It's effing awesome, just the right color and length. =D

I'm also very close to being done with the costume in general. I finally worked out the problems I was having with the dress, and that's coming along nicely. As for what I have left to do:

+trim bangs on wig
+figure out how to keep hat on head during ( Read more... )

I GOT A NEW LAPTOP. It's shiny! I'm naming it Avocado, because I have this quirky trend where I name all of my electronics after fruits or vegetables. It started because of Ed's computer being named Tomato (Cowboy Bebop), honest!

Avocado is leaps and BOUNDS better than Tomato (my ten-year-old PC that I was forced to use for the last month and a half ( Read more... )

I really, really am trying to do daily updates. Honest. But stuff keeps getting in the way. -_-

Anywho, I've made some pretty nice progress on the cosplay front. Not so much on the exercise front, though. I went to the gym on Sunday and my legs are still killing me. =|

I finished Excalibur (like, finished finished) and finally posted him on shibusen . I'm ( Read more... )
