What am I getting myself into?

Okay. Okay.

So, the scales are tipping even closer to agreeing to do one idea for Costume Con. Mock-up line art (and by mock up, I mean tracing and super-awesome MS Paint skills combined with a red permanent marker) has proven to be.... nice. Very nice. Also, terrifying, because if I can pull this off, I will be.... well, probably broke, and more than a little loopy.
What am I thinking?
I'm thinking, let's add some LEDs in there too.
Oh, that's a good idea.

....

:D

I might have made a decision.

I think I might have figured out my Costume Con costumes for CC35.

I think

.... If I can pull them off, they could be quite grand.

This means research. Lots of research.

Okay you.

Dear self,

It's been a month since Con season came to a close. You therefore should have more creative free time on your hands, (though, admittedly October is always very busy with non-creative things) and you have accomplished one thing thus far. Yes, the little box pleated skirt you have put aside for over a year was finished, but really, that was just the hemming needing done.

Now then. Perhaps, you could take a little time to get some other things done? Some suggestions are: The bodice for the Ouat red riding hood costume you never finished? That Tardis box pleated skirt you said you'd make? How about Costume Con 35? I do distinctly recall that since you had a second chance, you'd make more than one costume this time around. You should consider getting on that too, since you have what, a year and half left? That's not that much time, you know.

Okay, how about this? You finish one project before Christmas and I'll give you a warm sense of accomplishment. How does that sound?

Kisses,

Your self

*twitches*

Fox cuffs left to do. Anything else....?

Beginning pack up stage.
Need to make lists.
Food?

Working on my own clothing now too.
Got three days planned - just not Sunday. Saturday's is going be great.

Why do I feel I am missing stuff?

and even more...

Lace cuffs are done.
Half the triforce ones are also done.
Machine stitching worked out well today.

Will finish the rest of the triforce.
... flowers tonight, while I watch a movie?

and more...

Triforce's are grommetted. Decorating and trimming begins tomorrow.

Lace's are read for the trim to be stitched and decorated. Hopefully the bulk of it can be machine stitched unlike the lacing pieces. Still need to tack the ends by hand, but still should be faster.

Other triforces are stitched, but not yet laced.

Haven't started the Fox ones yet.

More peggy flowers are in queue, and some captain ones as well.

We'll see what gets done tomorrow.

checking in

Royal Hylian's are done. Gotta fray check though, fray check is being weird, so I need a new one.
Triforce's are ready to grommet,just need to do so.
Bases cuff for other triforces, and lace ones.
Forgot about Foxes. Need to do those.

More peggy flowers?
Mainly because I want to steal one for myself.
Supernatural Votive?
