Miaka costume finished! ^_^
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas ^_^ Other than a lot of rain everything was good on this end of the world. It was a fun day ^_^ I will miss it Christmas comes and goes so quickly *_*
I finally had time to finish taking photos of my Miaka costume! ^_^ Yay ^_^ It is all finished and I am very happy with how everything turned out. Now I have a renewed dislike for making pleated skirts ^_~ Between measuring, ironing, and sewing in all those pleats by hand no more for a while. Yet almost every school girl style costume has one *sigh* I was just happy it turned out well ^_^ On to the photos! ^_^
I liked how amazingly blue the water looked in this photo ^-^
Back view of the costume too ^_^
Also, how can I have a Miaka costume without a Tamahome ^_^ When Doug came to visit he was sooo sweet (as always ^_~ and an amazing boyfriend ^_^) said he would cosplay Tamahome with my Miaka ^_^ So I made him a Tamahome costume which I was really happy how it turned out ^_^ It fit perfectly. I always get a little nervous making a costume for someone if they can't try it on while I'm making it 0_O I don't make many guy costumes so I was double worried it might not fit. It did and everything worked out great ^_^ Here are a few of the photos ^_^ It was hard choosing just a few ^-^ but if I posted all of them it would take forever to load ^_^
I will try to have more up on my site soon but I wanted to post some here ^_^
There is my costume update! ^_^ Hopefully, it won't be to long before I have my May costume finished. Oh, and I just finished finally watching all of Love Hina. I had seen part of the anime years ago but never finished it. Well my brother bought the box set and I just finished watching the series today and it is on my favorites list! ^_^ I really want to make a costume from it now and I think it would be simple. I might do that just for fun soon ^_^
New years eve is tomorrow!! ^_^ or today since I am writing this late at night ^_~ Wow, I can't believe another new year just when I was getting use to writing 2006 on everything the year has changed again ^_~ Here is my new years post early ^_^
New Years Goals,
Last year I had a goal to try and volunteer more which I did a little. I did refinish the web site for the local animal shelter and get everything up to date. I wish I could have kept helping but they changed people over the animal shelter and the new lady looking after the place was difficult to work with :( The head lady would email me and ask me to go take photos of the animals but when I would get there the lady would be really unhappy with me… So oh well ^_^ Maybe I will call again sometime and see if I can help out but at least I tried my best and kept my goal ^_^
Another goal was to finish all the cosplay costumes I had started and not to take on more than two costumes at once. That goal I actually totally completed! ^_^ I finished all the costumes I had started working on and since then I haven’t worked on more than two costumes at once. Yay ^_^
The goal I didn’t meet all the way to be healthier ^-^ So I did start drinking less soda (I like all most all types of soft drinks my junk food weakness *sniffle*) but I still drink more than I should ^-^’ I wish I could give it up completely but I think that is an unrealistic goal ^_~ I always wanted to start working out but walking is about as far as I got 0_o At least Honey Bear and I can now walk about four miles without even being tired! ^_^ Yay ^_^ At the first of the year less than one mile and we were worn out ^_~' My dog and I will be in good shape by next year I hope! ^_^
This year! ^_^ So I need some new goals for this year… I have given it some thought and here goes:
Cosplay Goals:
- To finish my May costume before Animazement
- To finally make my dream Belldandy costume before the end of 2007 ^_^
- I want to make a few other costumes maybe but I haven’t decided what characters ^-^’
Video Game Goals:
- To beat Children of Mana
- To finally buy a new DDR game! ^_^ *lol* I still have my super old playstation one I’d like to have one of the PS2 versions. I need some new songs to dace to and it makes a fun workout ^_^ Maybe I would actually work out if it was fun ^-^’ Then Amy and I would have new songs for Team DDR ^_~
Personal:
- To once again attempt to be healthier ^-^’ I even need to give Honey Bear more walks ^_^’
- To have more fun even when in school ^_~ this past year I just didn’t give myself a lot of fun moments. I was so busy studying I forgot that I need to have fun as well ^_^ Being focused is good but I find I focus better when relaxed a little ^_^
- Try to do more nice things for my friends. I think this goes with the other one too. I get so busy with work I sometimes don’t give enough attention to the people who are most important to me. Thankfully, I have had the sweetest friends ever and everyone has always been very supportive of my school work. Thank you ^-^ *huggles*
End of goals! ^_^ I think that will be enough to keep me busy for a year ^_^
Well, I'm really sleepy so that must mean it is time for me to go to dream land ^_^ I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a very happy new year! ^_^ Hope to see you in 2007! ^_^
