First off, I want to say hella thanks to Melting Mirror for sharing my facebook page the other day. I think she tripled the ‘likes’ just by doing that.

Onto the crux of the post though:

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend Colossal Con like I’d intended. Due to a cluster of family emergencies, I’ll be hanging around family.

In the meantime I thought I’d take a look at where I’m at, and what I’ll be doing over that time, aside from writng. (did you know I write? I’m getting published this summer. For money too! Check out my writing blog here)

Costume Progress

Apocalypse Wendy – DONE

 

Wizard – DONE

 

Connor – ON HOLD

Why?

I made a poor choise with the fabric of the greatcoat/hood and vest. It’s too thick and is the destroyer of machine needles. Will retry later, with a thinner material. Anything in RED needs to be redone. COMPLETELY.
