To-do list

Gosh this list sure has become short. Today just before going out to do some chores a package arrived! I've been getting a ton of packages lately, so many that the UPS guy asked "Hey, Jessica. Another pair of shoes?" He's great and was right. Another pair of shoes. My white Victorian boots for Caterina's outfit. They are a bit snug around my caffs but the leather/fake leather whatever they are made out of is finally stretching now that I've re-laced them and have started to break them in. I'm wearing them right now as I type this to get my feet used to them. They are pretty comfortable minus the fact they are a bit snug around the caff. They'll work for now but I think once I have more money I'll just buy a better pair.

Days until con (Or day zero when we are leaving): 7

~Finish armor plates for Caterina + extras
Should be done within two-three days. Decided to make extras just in case. Foam is flexible but you can never be too careful. Especially since we are in the cosplay costume contest.

~Finish belts for Abel
Just bought the second belt today, as well as the belt for Caterina. This will be tricky as you can't use a sewing machine to sew together two thick belts together. My mother's sewing machine is old and I'm too afraid I'll break it, so I have yet to figure out how to piece them together.

~Finish rosaries
Waiting on chains to come. Seriously am pissed about how long its taking for the chain for Abel to ship. Its from Canada and shouldn't take more than a few days. This one will have the most work to be done to it and it is taking the longest. Caterina's chain was just bought, shouldn't take too long to arrive. I still have to make the smaller pieces and cross for her's as well. This is the bulk of the work that needs to be finished.

And....that's about it really. Not much to do. A lot less than I had thought I would be left with so I'm pretty pleased where I am at right now. I've been doing all this work alone, my mom luckily has been helping out with the costumes as they were my first and I needed to learn a lot. But all the props I've done myself. And they've caused me a great amount of stress. But I've made it. I can't wait to start on the next projects because boy am I bored.
