44 days

It should be titled, 43 days but oh well.

We got a photo shoot all set up for our Trinity Blood cosplays! I'm so excited to work with the photographer, she's amazing and has quite the eye. We love the idea of having a small shoot for our TB cosplays mainly because this will be the last time (As of now.) that we will be going as "Young" Caterina and Abel. After this con I'll be starting on our new TB cosplays. These ones were fun to make as they were my first ever cosplays that I've hand made. So it'll be really enjoyable to share what they look like with you guys.

We may have a second shoot in the makings as well. I don't know if that will be for Pandora Hearts or xxxHolic, I'm hoping Holic because Yuuko's outfit is pretty kick ass right now. And that shoot would give us the chance to be silly and make faces in the pictures which we don't normally get to do because our characters have been pretty serious people so far.

I am almost done with most of the props. The scythe is getting painted and smoothed down by the Mod Podge and I'm in the works of figuring out how to attach and detach the rod to it. Caterina's armor plates are done and drying from their last coat of paint. I'll coat them with Mod Podge before putting them away. I've started on Abel's new armor plates as well.

The waistcoat for Oz I ran into a few issues and have to re-do the collar. It's a minor set back but I'm going to sit my ass down tomorrow and try to finish it so I can start on the coat before we leave to coat next week for a few days. Which is a very important trip, one because I can finally slow down and take a breather away from all this crazy work and two because my fiance doesn't get to see his grandmother much and we'll be staying with her for a night so it'll be great fun.

I finally stitched the last open piece on Alice's dress and can say it's now 100% done. I have started to glue down the hems inside the skirt so they stop fraying but that will be a day to day process as it's time consuming.

We have decided to change our cosplays for the contest for Kumori-con as well. But I'll talk more about that later. It's currently 1:21 AM and I am now just done with props tonight. I'm beat. I didn't get to write my novel tonight besides a few words so I'm a bit upset about how quick time went tonight. At least I finally caught up with Haven. That's a great show if you haven't watched it. I really want to read the book now. If I ever get time to finish City Of Bones.

I'm going to try and sleep now. I'll update later this week with pictures of the props and the full outfits of Yuuko and Watanuki (I have to put them away anyway.) I'm slowly getting the costumes and props ready for K-con. I seriously cannot wait. I hope everything goes to plan and works out because if it does it may be the best con so far.

Night night!
