Well not much work done this weekend... read my Live journal for why.

But my backpack is all knitted up, I just need to stitch the knitted stuff together, then make the lining.

Trying to decide what I want to knit next.

There's lots of cool patterns in my stitch 'n bitch book.. and i've got a lot of presents to knit.

We'll see... I have to get needles first to start the stuff..

I may work on the next Saffity warmer if I can figure out how I want it to look.

I think that's it for now

I'M FINISHED!!!!!!!!... one thing.....

well i got the misto costume done.. just need to brush out the wig and that will take me no time at all.

so for convention (that happens next FRIDAY!!) i have to dye the james wig, spray and support the Jessie wig, braid and add the forehead braid to the birdie wig.. and make birdie's gloves.

I'm definitely going to have to be spirit gummed into the birdie costume.. no way in HELL that thing's gonna stay!

also got a huge portion of my backpack made! the front, back and gusset are all knit up.. just need to do the straps and make the lining. YAY!

i'm going out to dinner tonight.. i'm so burned out from this costuming marathon..

*falls over*

6 hours of sewing make saff go crazy!

Ok.. in desperate need of a break.

however, i've now got my birdie costume 3/4 of the way done, still need to make the gloves and fix up the wig.

have misto's vest cut out and have to sew that up, and sew the purpley white boa to the unitard... it looked full white in the store, but i can't help but giggle that this misto will have a hint of purple on his bib.....

then when i get home i get to restyle my Jessie wig, and dye the james wig... hopefully manic panic will actually work

as far as knitting goes, I have the front 2 sections and back section of my back pack done, and just need to do the gusset and straps... but the gusset is in garter stitch so i can fly through that.

i just need a chance to veg on the net for a bit... way too much sewing at one time for me..

Yay! costume and skit work

All right.. so to get the ball started I'm putting in an itinerary of sorts of things that I'm doing/need to do/ want to do.

so...

costume stuff:

For the convention next weekend, i've got my birdie (sailor moon) costume to do... i've got it about 10 % done, but it's essentially just a body suit so it shouldn't take long, I also have to braid the wig and add the little braid across the forehead.

my Misto costume, which has the body suit, and wig... i need to make a sparkly vest, plus a white bib, and a tail for him.

Then I have to restyle the Jessie wig (lotsa hairspray) and dye the James wig... I tried Kool-aid but it didn't work, plus it made my room smell bad... so i'm going to try manic panic and pray...

for halloween, I've got a tugger costume that I have to make a wig, vest and mane for (yay for fake fur)

a kids quaxo costume that needs a warmer, and a redo of a wig (cuz i'll now how a kid quaxo and adult misto, thereby needing 2 wigs if both are to be worn at the same time..)

a costume for chris, which was supposed to be cats related, but he doesn't wear unitards well....

and a set of video etcetera warmers for Julianna's friend, which i have to get back to her with definite prices.

then.. for Neko con, i'm so uber lucky that Erikonil and Idiosylph have offered to make me a German Cassandra costume. I'm a bit nervous about wearing it, as Cass isn't one of my fav characters, but I hope I pull her off ok.

and as miscellaneous costumes right now, i'm finally going to make a Saff cat costume, have one warmer done, and a plan..... so we'll see how long it takes to make it.

as far as skits and such go, for now I just have my skit to rehears for next weekend's con. I've got the song cut and everything, but I have to choreograph some parts of it, and practice like crazy.

for knitting, I've got my backpack that I want to get knit up and such so I have something to carry around my projects in.

then i've got christmas presents to start for my friends *grin* I'm liking this knitting thing!

so for now that's what i have planned and started. We'll see how my progress goes in the near future.

Whee!

Ok.. so this is my new blog. This is hopefully where I'll put my pics of costume progress, knitting progress and all other fun stuff like that.

Convention photos and stuff will still be on my site and on my forums, but this is in progress work.. so yeah.

Gee.. can you tell.. I'm taking a hint from Erin... hmmmmm...
