So I have a few things here and there to wrap up. I need to make a new neko ear and tail set. I hope to raise enough extra$$ to get a new wig. I also need to  go out and buy iron on transfer sheets to try something out for another costume. If that doesn't work, then I need to order a bright yellow star patch the largest size i can find. Other than ebay, anyone know of any good sites or custom embroidery patch web sites? I also need to finish up some neko ear sets to sell on the side to gain more funding, as well as make some for my roomates ^_^. I need to try on my belial outfit and make sure it still fits in the chest/back/and ribcage portions. I als need to start typing up my pack list. Thats always so useful when packing the week before. Oh snaz!!!! I also need to find shoes for my B&W gown and see if the mum and law can hem the bottom of it. It's like 12 inches too long and I have a limit on heel height.

What I have completed is:
Pre -reg
Vampire Knight day cosplay
B&W ball gown
air fare
90% of hotel fare
minimum $$ for food and shopping in Artist Alley


so how are all of your arrangements for fanime coming along?

I need a pair of boots, some makeup, some alterations on my cosplays, my hair dye to show up...oh yeah and for the people I commissioned my wigs from to respond to my e-mails.  Stressing the wigs....but so long as that works out I'll be set once fanime comes around.
Sometimes I'm glad I became a teacher.  Other times I wish I had simply become a ninja.

I'm doing Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle and she has a pair of brown ankle high boots.  I need to find those, but I have pair of black boots that'll be just fine if I don't find the brown ones.  Crumby part of having tiny feet is that I rarely find normal styles, they're always either the lastest cartoon or patent leather and bows.

I'm just fine, because I plan for Fanime all year round. The rest of the year only exists in order to prepare for Fanime. Fanime takes priority over school, work, and it would over my social life as well....if I had one.

I could always earn some extra money for it though.

Hm...no pre-reg, no costume, no hotel room, no real plan of action, no money, con's next month.

I feel ready. ^_^,,,

I'm used to the "crunch-time" since it's always like this before I take a trip. For me, Fanime is halfway across the country, but it'll be worth it anyways. x3

I have my minimum amount of money saved up and I've had the hotel room and flight booked since I found out An Cafe was coming back in mid Jan. I had the badge not long after that. ~ So now I'm just saving up a bit more cash and waiting. Such a long wait, yet it's so close! I want it to come tomorrow!

I'm feeling a slight crunch as I have to break in new equipment, learn some new techniques, and all that jazz.
the other crunch would be having to do research in fashion photography as well for each of my photoshoots to improve my photography.

But I would rather call it work/fun.  ;D

yardsales and thrift stores are heavenly for things like that.

The only crunch I'm feeling is making sure that my con planning doesn't distract me away from Finals, thankfully my last Final is on Tuesday so I have all of Wednesday and Thursday to prepare.
