ok...i haven't been updating a lot recently....and by a lot i mean not at all. I've been a little too busy recently to search for the missing chord for the scanner, working at work, and dealing with work stuff. Plus i have the costume i'm working on for the convention in mid november....and .....and ....and
A boy.
A certain awesome boy.
Who actually is too old to be called a boy now that i think of it. But here's to hoping everything is sure to go well on sunday....and if it doesn't, I know we'll have fun.

^^
<3

So....um....i haven't cosplayed or dressed up for any convention in a while....and well i really really really really wanna do steam punk.
The other day while doodling at work (don't tell my boss ;D (well i was done almost everything anyways)) my friend saw that i had been doodling steam punk outfits...and most of them were just vague ideas. With a few strokes of the pencil, Rachel helped me finalize the ideas into a future reality and now i want to get started on the steam punk outfit.

Since my sewing skills aren't that great i'm going to buy a corset...specifically this corset :

from timeless-trends.

And basically the color scheme is going to be based on the corset and my hair. so it'll be awesome <3
But....there cannot be any doubt or procrastination...i just gotta do it XP

I NEED TO POST MORE STUFF!!
Unfortunately being the scatterbrained- nutcase that i am...I completely forgot where i put the powerchord to my printer/scanner
Did i mention that i don't have a camera or even camera phone atm....
