[angelmage99]

As the year comes to an end and the off-season starts it's time to talk about what our plans are for next year.

Please talk about what your costume plans are and I'll try to look for tutorials and make a list from that show.

Speaking on Cons. I'll be AFK till probably Tuesday night or Wednesday. I'm heading to Spokane for Kuroneko Con and then visiting family in Washington for a little bit.

Can't wait for the 8 and half hour car ride today and then the 8 hour car ride back to Idaho on Tuesday.  

[angelmage99]

I'm back.

Welcome back! How was your trip?

Welcome back! How was your trip?

8 hrs in a car with no AC. Great. Idaho and Eastern Washington are comparable to Southern California.

Other than dealing with my drama family, the con was great. It makes me willing to do the trip again.

I'm back.

I'm glad that you had a good time at the con. Did you find any good items to buy and I'm curious as to what was your favorite part of the con.

Most of what I got, I got for free. I got a nice line on my badge of badge ribbons. I completed the scavenger hunt and got a free pin, plus going to the craft room meant I got a free button from that too.

The only things that I bought for myself (I got my sister a Funko Pop of King George from Hamilton for her birthday) was beads from delish Beads. I'm in the process of making some new fun earrings with the beads. I have a few that need stud backings and I'll have to buy some in steel alloy (love metal allergies).

Of course there's more pics. I just need to upload them real quick. I do want to mention that I don't make all my costumes. There are just some that I'm like 'I'm not going to stress'. I do make most of mine.

The only other couple's cosplay we've done is Miss Joke and Aizawa from My Hero Academia.

I'm in the process of doing Luigi and Daisy (I need to get him a green shirt and my Daisy's dress) and Rapunzel and Eugene (have all the fabric).

I'm finishing Renge from Ouran High School Host Club and I'm thinking of getting my husband to do Kyoya in response I really just need to find him a light blue jacket (I'm going lazy mode).

I'm making plans to do Riza and Roy from FMA. I have the pattern I'm basing it off of and I got muslin to make a jacket mock up. I also got enough fabric to start a Sailor Moon bodysuit so Tuxedo Mask is another one that we've talked about doing. We also have part of a Naruto/Hinata Costume too.

Other than that I have sewing patterns and plans for the following couples:
Sophie and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle
Chichi and Goku from DBZ
Matsumoto and Gin from Bleach
Ichigo and Orihime from Bleach
Belle and Adam from Beauty and the Beast
Lin and No Face from Spirited Away
Ariel and Eric from Little Mermaid
Anna and Kristoff from Frozen
Suki and Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender
Asami and Mako from Avatar the Legend of Korra
All the Link and Zelda's
Minato and Kushina from Naruto

All other costumes I haven't asked if he wants to do. He's pretty much stated that he doesn't want to do most of the older Disney Prince's so I'm solo for Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. Though if we ever get pregnant we have pregnant cosplays planned to with Princess Serenity/Tuxedo Mask, Sato/Husband from Kiki's Delivery Service, Maes Hughes and Gracia from FMA, Minato/Kushina from Naruto, Tenzen/Pema from Legend of Korra, and Pancha/Chicha from Emperor's New Groove.
