Teatime
On Friday, I went to visit my best friend who moved into a new condo with her sister recently. Her boyfriend baked scones and made sandwiches so the four of us had tea outside on the terrace, which was nice. ^_ ( Read more... ) -

Ugh. Somehow, a mosquito got into my room this morning and decided I was breakfast. I got bitten like ten times. -_-X ( Read more... ) -
"The Road You Didn't Take"
I took a day trip to Washington last Wednesday to see Follies at the Kennedy Center. They had a display of 10 of Gregg Barnes’ costume designs for the show in the lobby so I took pictures. Unfortunately, I couldn’t really get a clear shot of some of the designs towards the top of the display; they were behind glass and it was just impossible to get ( Read more... ) -
AnimeNext Report
So, AnimeNext happened. Got to the con around noon on Friday, checked into the hotel, and had lunch before picking up badges and starting to wander. Wore my newer Ryuuren costume that day for a Saiunkoku photoshoot with neoangelwink and kitsunesqueak; athena-chan couldn’t join us since she had to watch the artist’s alley table but she found a friend to wear her Ryuuki costume so we ( Read more... ) -
Still sewing...
Still working on my new costume, which as ryoko and appaku guessed last time, is the jellyfish dress from Princess Jellyfish. I never thought I’d end up making a costume that involved tentacles… XD; I watched the series a while back on the Funimation site and liked it. I’ve wanted to make a ruffly cosplay for quite a while. But I’ve just never found one that ( Read more... ) -
Let's play "Guess the Costume" :-D
So, here’s what I’ve been working on lately. I’ve only mentioned to a few people that I was thinking of doing this costume. For those who I haven’t told, any guesses what it’s going to be? :-D

Cosplay update
Hmm… It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Inspired by the panel on specialty sewing machine feet at Costume Con, I ordered a few and got them last week. I bought a walking foot, a gathering foot, and a ruffler. Haven’t tried out the walking foot yet. The gathering foot is pretty straightforward although it seems to be for lighter gathers and I ( Read more... ) -

Anime Boston Costume List
Well, I didn’t get a chance to properly finish the red cords hanging from the sash but the new Ryuuren costume is definitely wearable. I’m packed but will need to get my Kyoya references printed out after we get to Boston (our printer is out of color ink -_-). And I didn’t get a chance to do notes for the hall contest as planned. I hope I can ( Read more... ) -
Argh! X_X
My new Ryuuren costume is almost done but now there are other issues...
This is probably a longshot but are there any photographers available to do a cherry blossom photoshoot next week with neoangelwink, athena-chan, and me in our Saiunkoku costumes? Our tenative plan was to try to shoot next Tuesday because it’s the only day my brother is available but now he says he ( Read more... )
