The other reason I'm really excited and happy is...
Hotel reservation opened today! Sakura-con is a lot of fun. We never have a bad time. It's our break away from everything plus Seattle is amazing. Its a fun trip, everything from the car ride to checking in. We have so much fun. Last year was the first year we brought our friend and we're doing so again this year. The three of us had so much fun it would be dumb to pass up the chance to have more fun again.
We did book our hotel today. We're staying at a hotel we have not stayed at before. The hotel we stayed at the first year was way too far of a walk. I was wearing heels, a hoop skirt and a large dress and a wig with a heavy clip on ponytail. Up and down a hill. It was not fun. When we stayed the second year the elevator was so bad and shaky we were afraid to ride it. Which sucked because we were on the 15th floor I think. It was not good for my anxiety.
This year we stayed at the Renaissance. It was a really nice place. The staff didn't all know what was going on so there was some communication which was super annoying. But the worst part was the fact the fridge was locked. Luckily we brought our large cooler and ice was free. The room was really nice. A bit small but not bad. But for the price it really was not worth it. So this year we chose a different hotel that is only a block away. You turn down, cross the street and your there. I won't post where we are staying yet. Not until after con most likely. For personal reasons.
But the hotel is booked, tickets paid for and I am feeling very excited about con. Now to get our cosplays finished. I feel very confident our Trinity Blood cosplays be finished on time. I'm more worried about the wings and how I'm going to make Abel's harness for his large wings (Not to mention how we're going to get them into the car.) Modifying the costumes has been going great. If we don't get the wings done on time we will wear our normal versions instead of the Crusnik versions. Which means we most likely will not do the contest. But I'm okay with that.
If everything goes well we'll get the armor, costumes and accessories, wings and wigs styled for our Trinity Blood cosplays done two months before con. That way I can make Don't Starve cosplays! I can't wait. Kumori-con 2013 wasn't the best for us so I'm looking forward to Sakura-con a lot.
I can't wait!
But right now I need to go bead and write. Speaking of beading....
Here is a picture of some of the beading so far on Seth's inner train which is attached to the back of her underskirt.
I finally got the hang of beading it. I'm loving how well they stand out against the lace. It's very regal. I think it'll look great on stage.
For every costume I make I add my own personal touch and this was mine for Seth. :)
Any who.... Time to write!
