Residing in the Mind of Nine

T-minus 4 Days...

Well, well, well. Sakura Con is finally around the corner! More or less excited about it because I finally get to get away from school and all responsibilities for a little while.

In terms of working out, I've pretty much ingrained a routine into my schedule: every other day, 30-45 mins, and if I can do some crunches, push-ups, and other stuff that doesn't require jumping around before bed time - lol

Still lost that 5-10lbs at least! If I had more time, I'd be out and running around my park because that was super effective in helping my metabolism... Nice weather is coming back after all.

It's been tough, I can say I've been slipping back and forth with old habits, and bouncing back to the new ones. I can at least say that this is a year long goal. Not just a three month or whatever before cosplay. I feel better about myself, and I want to continue that way.

It's actually been keeping my stress levels at bay for most of it. Pretty neat how a little physical activity can remedy that.

Ugh last weeks of school is driving me nuts! We've finally sent out our email campaign advertising our grad show out to our mentors, alumni and business peeps, I hope they'll get it and understand what's going on @_@ it's pretty funny. I don't want our joke to be lost - lol

I did the main typography for it 8D weee

In terms of cosplay:

Yasuri Nanami - 90% done! Yes. I just need to paint the wig, and make some little cloth armor bits, and I'm good.

Juvia Loxar - Pretty much all done. I need to curl a wig, but that shouldn't be too hard... ah wigs. Love/Hate relationship still stands.

Jedi - Pretty much done as well. Just need that important prop 8D and we're gold.

Woohooo!

Cosplay Cosplay Cosplay

WELL. There's only about 3 weeks or so before Sakura Con.

Panic Mode? Initiated.

So far I've got my pieces cut out for all my cosplays. Thanks to Someguy, I decided to go and try and make a Jedi cosplay for Sunday...hurrhurr, I don't know if I'll finish it, to be really honest. I should focus on the other items...

Yasuri Nanami (60-70% Done)
I've pretty much finished the black kimono yesterday. All I have to do is to hem the bottom, and then finish off the collar with some hand stitching. Other than that, I've got the purple thing to do, and then a few accessories that shouldn't take too long to make. I also ended up cutting the bangs for her as well. I really hope they don't look that derp. I suck at cutting wigs : (

Juvia (10%)
I haven't really gotten much done. All I did was find the right pattern, and cut out the main pieces. I need to cut her hat out, and I still haven't acquired the right fur trim for it. I really need to get on this. Ordered the wig earlier this month...I have my fingers crossed and I hope it'll arrive before the month is over... *cough* (okay, just as I typed that, I totally had a panic attack and though I HADN'T ordered it yet... but I did and it's been shipped. *phew*)

Jedi (Knight) (15%?)
Lol this cosplay. I sense it'll be incredibly fun. Heck I finished sewing the body of it last night and it was long and flowy. I love it. I ordered leggings already to go with it, too. Now I just need to figure out the back detailing and the shirt/tunic that goes on underneath. I'll probably have to buy myself a belt as well... I'll get around that tomorrow! And I'll buy a belt for Juvia as well while I'm at it!

I'm so glad there aren't any props this year to make. SO HAPPY. Well...maybe later in the year : P haha

OH yeah, I should make my belt and stuff out of wonderflex... yeah...
