Ah yes, this time of year.
Instead of talking about Christmas, I felt like mentioning that it's about time for me to create my yearly cosplay collage and compare it to the yearly plans I made last December/January. I already know that I set way too many goals and didn't finish a lot of what I planned, but I've also found a few new things that captured my heart. I'm really ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Most of you probably already know, but I've decided to compete my Tales of the Abyss costumes at Youmacon this year. I'm pretty excited, but the con is a few weeks away and I've yet to make the repairs on the costumes I've intended to do for the past two months. It isn't really a lot... I have to make a coat, two belts, sew in a few snaps, and ( Read more... ) -
Another post. More meme.
So Otakon is coming up. I'm still working on my costumes, but I think everything is going to look good when I'm done. Almost every costume I'm going to wear covers me head to toe. I'm going to be miserable! I don't have too much to say at the moment... I feel like I want to complain about work but I'm not going to do it right now. Instead, I'm ( Read more... ) -
Myself, the Cosplayer
It's been a while since I followed a cosplay meme, and I thought the one that I saw on piratess__, firelilycosplay and amazonmandy 's pages looked like a lot of fun! I will be doing the questions in large chunks and including pictures.

GROUP???
Okay, I know this is really left-field coming from me, but I've recently been playing Pokemon White and re-discovered my love for the games. In my current run, I've found this little guy to be one of my front-running favorites.

A litt recognition goes a long way....
Call me crazy, but I've come to really enjoy store meetings. Problems get addressed, goals are discussed, and good actions are recognized. After a month of constantly feeling inadequate, the end of today's meeting brought me FOUR personal recognition cards from my partners along with an on-the-spot shoutout... "Janell is a great partner and she ( Read more... ) -
Back from the Con!
As you all know, Tekkoshocon weekend just happened. Andrew and I made it back safely and I had a great time! I had a chance to meet with friend from my old Starbucks, had a blast a the con, and helped Andrew run his first Gunpla panel. I finished my new costumes a day early and got some great pictures for one of them, which I'm very excited to ( Read more... ) -
Sewing sweatshop! <3
I am extremely proud of the unusual amount of discipline I've displayed to myself today! After work yesterday and today I finished the following ( Read more... ) -
Tekko-con!
Since I didn't go to Tekkoshocon last year, I'm pretty stoked to be going this year. It will be my first time back in Pittsburgh since I moved almost two years ago! I'm going over Thursday with Andrew and possibly envel (let me know if you want to meet up here, I don't know if it would be real out of the way for you or not.) I'm hoping to visit with ( Read more... )
