I got sun burn on my face. OW! Luckily it's not bad since I did have on some protection (Sun screen and make up that also had sun screen in it. Both didn't work though. ;_; ) It should heal up within a few days.
I checked my email to find the person interested in my AP jsk backed up. Thanks a lot. Now I have no idea how I'm going to get enough money for all the stuff I need for cosplay. It's mainly things like pantyhose and a strapless bra that I need to get and have to get so I'm really pissed that I came back to bad news. Never doing holds again. EVER.
Now for the good news....
Right before we left for our little "anti-stress" vacation we bought our tickets and are officially pre-registered for Kumori-con! We always seem to wait until the very last minute so I'm glad we managed to get the tickets before the pre-reg stopped and they no longer sent out the badges before con. Our badges should be mailed out the first week of August I believe. I'm super excited to get those.
My Oo Jia dress should be done being made I believe by the end of the week, maybe next week and will come before the con! I finally have something nice to wear on day zero in case our friends decide not to cosplay.
NO TAN! I didn't tan at all! Thank goodness for the fog. I really didn't want to get tan. One, it's bad for your health. If you want to say otherwise I don't care. I've had two relatives get sun cancer from being out in the sun very little. I hate being tan. It doesn't go away for a long time. I'm very happy that I didn't get tan. It's a plus for me. Sorry if you don't like pale but I love it!
I wish I had more good news but I'm still REALLY pissed off about the jsk. So I'm not in the best of moods even though my vacation was wonderful! I did get a bit sick but I managed to push through it. It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow marks....
MY FIVE WEEK SEWING RUSH!
I have Oz's waistcoat and coat to finish and I WILL finish them. It may drive me nuts and I may go crazy. But I want them to be done and done correctly and nicely before the con for the panel. Like I said before he'll wear his Break cosplay if I don't get it done on time but I really want us to match. So hopefully everything gets done on time.
I still have to do...
~Finish the waistcoat
- Sew on the back buckle straps
- Make button holes
- Sew on the buttons
- Sew the pockets
- Do the lines (Don't remember what these are called, but they are on the front and back.)
- Make the jabot
~Finish coat
- Start coat
- Make ruffles
- Make button holes
- Sew on buttons
~Make Oz's matching top hat
~Finish scythe
~Make Alice's leg brace (Using ribbon instead of metal.)
~Buy undergarments
~Style both PH wigs
~Buy new wigs for Caterina and Abel
~Make Alice's choker
While I'm doing all this I'm also helping out my friend who is running a Pandora Hearts panel. Since I'm a panelst I wanted to make sure I help as much as I can. So I'm picking out some trivia questions (I have a ton picked out so far.) And am collecting character quotes for a game for the panel.
Lots to do. Only 38 days until con. Holy shit. That's five and half weeks til con. I have an ass load of work to do. I am so thankful for my mom who has agreed to help me as much as she can with sewing. I'm really glad she's willing to spend the rest of her vacation helping me out so I can these projects done.
And now I'm tired as hell and slightly upset and REALLY excited to be sleeping in my bed again. So I need to go for the night. I'll update tomorrow or later this week, depending on how my crazy sew off is. I may just wind up using this crazy five weeks to blog about how I am going to get all this crap done on time. I think a garage sale may be in order. Hopefully my dad is up for that. I know I sure am.
See you next time!
Thanks for reading.
