All....done?

It's finished. Everything is done. No more sewing left to do. No more hot gluing or crafting props. It's all done. And with six days until we leave. Not bad. Cutting it slightly close. I'm normally finished way before this but I'm happy. I took lots of extra time to re-do, fix mistakes, until I can say I am proud of my work. Sure there are things I want to fix. There always is. But I'm very happy. These were challenging to a point, mainly because of the patterns. I now know I am only using Mccalls and Simplicity for now on. 


I finished the waistcoat and the last accessory just a few minutes ago. Now the only thing we need to work on is the scythe. I'm painting the last coat of paint tonight. Then in the morning I need to paint on Mod Podge to seal it and have my dad start drilling the hole for it to attach to the wooden rod. 

Otherwise...

There is nothing else to do.

And it feel weird. I can tell already I'm going to lose sleep over how excited I am. On the 29th we're going out to buy food for the trip then on the 30th we are packing up and heading out. It's awesome to be able to say we will be leaving this time next week (I'm not counting today, the 22nd as it is almost 12:00 am as I am writing this.)

Watanuki's new wig came today. We styled it already. It's wonderful. So thick and fluffy. I love it, my fiance loves it, it's great. We bought http://arda-wigs.com/products/derek. It's a wonderful wig. I love this company more and more. However their lace front wigs are very small. Not good for larger heads. But besides that, their wigs are wonderful. Nicely styled and cut. The colors are very nice, just as pictured. Which of course is great. 

We are waiting for Oz's gloves to come. Hopefully those come this week so I can pack them with the rest of the accessories. I did make a check list today which took five pages! And I still didn't add everything on there. We washed our travel bag, which smelled horrible after my brother had used it. So we did a lot today. I'm beat but very happy. 

I know pre-con madness has already hit. There are so many wonderful things that are going to happen during Kumori-con it is so hard to sit still and wait. But when it comes around I know we will have so much fun. That is worth the wait.
