Apologies for being a little less active on here in the past few weeks. My dissertation is due this Friday, and, predictably, I am nowhere near ready for it On the other hand, I'm extremely excited for uni to be over and done with. I'd rather have all the hassle of trying to get a job than trying to find the energy to care about dissertation stuff xD I'm so awkward!
Despite all this, got an awesome weekend to look forward to. Going to be spending some time with MsKitty77 this Bank Holiday, hopefully getting a lot of sewing done as well as having nostalgia feels and watching Tenimyu (because that there is my teenage-hood and the reason I got into cosplay in the first place. Oh yeah! ). So, hopefully after this weekend I will be a lot more prepared for this expo, and *fingers crossed* will have one cosplay almost completely done.
Current progress for expo is thus far:
Marceline Abadeer: need to finish adding ribbon to boots, but otherwise all done. (Also need to make a BMO for xRosiex81, but that doesn't really count)
Minerva: need to add hems, cut down the sash, and then add the scoop neck and the sleeves to the dress. Also need to buy some worbla (woops, leaving it a bit late xD) and make her headress/accessories. Probably only a weekend of work needed to finish her
Mai: this one is on the cards to work on with MsKitty. Should be able to get the majority of her clothing done this weekend, and then all I have left to do is accessories and wig styling (when it eventually arrives. Please don't let this be the one time that delivery takes longer than I have available D': )
Probably unlikely to post another journal before expo, so if you feel like saying hi then let me know what you're cosplaying and I'll make sure to keep an eye out for you

It's been a while...
It's been a while since I've posted a journal (mostly because I forgot that it was a thing, if I'm honest!) so here's just a brief update~
I'm currently working on my costumes for Alcon at the beginning of next month. I have a couple rewears planned, which is great and helps me cut down on the amount of work I have to do, but I also have one really big project alongside a couple of other standard ones. So most of my time is going to be spent sewing and getting frustrated with fabric, whenever I'm not busy working of course!
Plans for Alcon are (if you're interested, or if you're also going to Alcon and want to say hi!):
Thursday: James Pot
Life update
S'been a while since I last updated here with a journal, mostly because I guess I didn't really have anything to say. That's still the case, but I felt like updating, so hoohah, here we are~!
Kitacon is just around the corner, and as usual I'm spending most of my time trying to get the missus to start on her cosplays. In between that, I'm working on my own; surprisingly, I'm mostly done for the upcoming con, with almost all of my cosplays needing only a few things left doing (except the one I haven't started, but which will only take a day to make, max). I'm feeling pretty relaxed about Kita, which is great because I'm not feeling all that r
I feel I should write a journal, just to say...
... I'm alive!! :D
Yeah, I don't really have all that much to update one since last time, except for Alcon, I suppose. As usual, Alcon was great fun! I improved on last year's experience by actually going to panels and stuff, some of which were hilarious (particularly the Embarrassing Cosplay Stories panel, during which I sat on the floor and then collapsed afterwards when I tried standing up with jelly legs xD Perfect timing~)
I had a great time hanging out with friends as usual, particularly friends I'd met before but weren't really friends until recently because I didn't know them all that well. You guys know who you are, and you're all
Post-Aya, Pre-Alcon Journal
It's been a while since Ayacon, but I've been a little busy (plus my laptop died on me, boo!), but here I am! Only a brief report on Aya because there's not much to say. Had a great weekend, got to see all my favourite people, cosplay some awesome new things and go to some great parties. Also spent way more time playing cards and doing silly impressions than I'd ever expected, but hilarious times were had all round :D
Hopefully I'll put up some pics from our various shoots soon, since thankfully the Ayacon pics weren't on my laptop. But that all depends on when I can commandeer someone's computer, since my netbook is terrible for anything ex
