3 days

So I have been working my self to the bone to get costumes finished for the con and it's paying off. Guardian Cosmos is the only trouble maker purely because of lack of reference images ( no colour ones) and I ran out of hooping so her bubble dose not bubble right T.T. I also will be beading till the last minute. Papillions wings are just fun, and then theres some snaps and buttons here and there.

We added 4 extra costumes ( super simple ones) like Paradox is doing Starfighters suet cause I was an idiot and was like why dose not he be Tuxedo Mask or Starfighter on Saturday as a joke... but he wined about not having anything to wear with us sat so I suggested it and ended up having to make a pair of pants for him to match to the coat he found. We also did up some Fate/Stay night costumes with the help of value Village ^_^ and some more sewing.

Our sweaters are getting done up tomorrow at Bang on with our logos!!! We will be adding our ranks for AE to the Coats ( Fallowing our StarTrek intro) [link] for those who haven't read it !!!

I will be showing my dress in a fashion show tomorrow !!!! GLEEEEEEEE I was hand picked for my purple Octopus Dress to represent Alexandre McQueen in a Fashion/Hair show for a fund raiser for the make a wish foundation. The women who chose me is doing a Alice in Wounderland meets Alexander McQueen theme ^_^ and since I can't let my dress out of my sight(its worth at least $10,000) I get to help out at the show and watch gahhh then I get to have the lovely lada <3

I've had a terrible week like just horrible so it was so nice to accomplish so much in one day even if they were all so close to being done that you could have hit me for not having them done already. I've been stressed and work is throwing me all over the schedule so my internal clock is like WTF. Mostly mornings with one closing and one late to train the new guy but still its like I would like to have some turn around time more then 7 hours till my next sift some times T.T I need wined down time and sleep time and get ready for work again time.

On another good note because I'm flexible and been helping a lot at work because people are leaving and coming and they said my work is so good... I put veggies out receive orders and wear-house stock ... not that hard at least you would think. But onto the point, I was given a ticket to the Canucks game last night EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! soooooo awesome they players are so much bigger in real life >.<>.<>.<

whats worth living for

59 - Days till Sakura Con

Because of my hectic schedule I lost track of what Day I'm on and it's almost impossible for me to post EVERY day thats almost ridiculousness cause I would have to have no life to post every day.

Now getting on to It I have 59 days to go ( suicided comes to mind when I think of everything I'm doing >.> )

Shamanic Princess

I have finish sewing my dress for Lena, the coat just needs the straps and bow with flower, I need the wig and head band and contacts

Tiara still needs fabric

Leon needs fabric

Graham needs fabric

Kagatsu needs fabric

xxx Holic

Yuko, lining needs to be cut out, flowers need to be painted sew body and lining together and make necklace. Flowers have started to be painted and bodice has been died wig has arrived just need contacts.

The other characters are mostly cut out minus Makona he needs fabric and clown shoes

Tekken, the boys are purchasing most of their stuff and I've already started sewing lili Asuka needs her pattern just need to know what the back of it looks like >.>

sailor moon papillions coming along nicely but I haven't really started on cosmos :(

I'm getting the money for the dress commission on Tuesday get fabric and make pattern then start sewing I just need to make the tail for the plush and cut that out and do a test of it see how it turns out. Thinking of making the horns from sculpy and then gluing them on ???


Other then this is ridiculous and I should be shot I have some nice things going on in my life, but also have to start grave yards soon more money but crazyier reva >.>

Pink bunnie is hungry - no one fed me :(

Day 37 and 38 - 69 days till sakura con

Day 27 :
I got most of Lena done yay !!!! and then I sewed up the muslin for Papillions skirt and Tiara's dress woot I'm on a hot streak :D I'm feeling pretty confidentish not fully but I feel like I'm accomplishing more when I'm sewing, our actually putting the costume together. ummm I can't think of what else I did >.> other then put my desk together and put my diploma in a frame I have an office in my room now. At least I call it my office ^_^

Day 28:
I acquired some fabric paint to day for painting the flowers on the the kimono, and started painting one of the sleeve's it's been a while since I was able to paint anything. I miss the strokes of the paint brush on a surface and paint and paint brushes in hair and paint on hands I just really like painting. alas I won't have time to paint the entire kimono so that's where Aurora comes in she is our resident main artist when it comes to drawing were all artists of different calibers and mediums.

I'm pretty tired right now cant focus on this to well but I did'nt want to get to behind on posting so thats what I could think of for today.


Pink Bunnie - hitting the zzzz train

Day 35 - 72 days till sakura con

I had fun whipping this up on my tablet >.>





I didn't get as much as I wanted to get done last night, but I did start sewing. I'm planing on taking progress shots so I can give detail outlines of how I made the costumes. And maybe some tutorials when I'm done ^_^

Aspen's back from the pet hospital and omg I will never get a cat fixed again, I will only get spca cat's from now. I don't have nearly $200 in my back pocket thats ridiculousness it costing that much is not a preventative to having more kittens its more likely to cause more kittens.

to day I will sew more kimono, and probably cut a few things out, I also have to go to my old school and sign some things so I can be like bitches I want a year to my self to cosplay >.> ...... then I'll get some more tracing paper since I'm out again T.T I'm going to have to charge the boys for paper consumption. It's not cheap paper T.T

I will also be geting a new tv tomorrow hopefully so I can actually read the text on the tv >.> OMG whats that. My 20 inch baby has treated me good but its on its last picuter and I've never been able to read subtitles on it very well so here's hoping.

umm I think thats it for now ^_^

pink bunnie- out

Day 34 - 73 days till sakura con T.T

So how did you love my ridiculous list? a bunch of scribbles is what I feel, once I get some more time to work on costumes it should feel a lot better I hope to start sewing tomorrow and that always make me feel ten times better ^_^. It also means the house is going to turn into hurricane cosplay, fabric and props every where.

I haven't been very chatty lately just to tired trying to work on things and reserve some energy I guess, I get that way some times. Its a lot of work I need to focus I guess, blah work is drama stupid and I kinda want out of there blah blah o well

Aurora cut out the red part of my kimono for Yuko and I finished the pattern for Lili's skirt, now I just need some tracing paper cause I ran out >.> T.T and I can't makes patterns with out it. But all and all I'm still making lots of progress and thats what counts.

Meeting with Emerarudo-chan on Tuesday next week for measurements and I can get her costume under way. I'm thinking simple esk pattern one pieces for the outter ill use her waist measurement(or where the skirt is sitting) divided that into 6 our 8 then decided how wide the bottom will be divided that and viola make some gathers in the middle of the skirt. Ill make an under skirt in white where the hoops will be attached.

For her plushes I finally found a ball pattern so once i find the fabric I can get those done up and that will be under way :).

Hoping to get all the fabric for xxxholic and buttons because it will be easiest to finish their costumes first then Ill tackle shamanic princess. I'm very worried about getting Grahams armor done. I don't have a lot of help in that department other then Aurora and she's busy with painting and her own art work, and I want to do as much painting as I can since i don't get to do it often. I'm an artist to but people like to forget that :( I miss doing my art but sewing and pattern making has kinda taken over everything sadly. arg....

I want more time for everything T.T

Next is Sailor Moon theres no way I'm missing my chance to be Guardian Cosmos and I wants my shiny staff >.< " Tekken will be worried about last since the boys outfits should be easy to through together Once the fabric is purchased we shouldn't have to much trouble, but thats half the battle. Still need to order the last of the wigs. I want to try and get a new Asuka wig for my gothic lolita costumes so I can take some shots with Al if we get a chance. Pink Bunnie - on over load

Day 30-33 74 days left till Sakura Con

So this post is going to be a detailed outline of what I have done and what still needs to be done.
But first a little about the past 4 days since I was lame and didn't keep up with posting >.>, it was busy sorry.

Other then being completely fucked over at work with the worst shifts and only two weeks out of the past two months with my days off side by side. I've been ridiculously tired, its hard to get 17 costumes and now 4 commissions done T.T. I'll manage but I'm going to have a talk with my manager tomorrow he's trying to pull a fast one on me having me work 6 in a row days then giving me 1 only 1 day off then 4 more days of work i think or maybe 3 either way not happening I'm not a machine.

We had a semi party for P.D. (Plate Destroyer) on friday then saturday I was so tired I could barely move :(

Red Bunnie muhahahhhaah


Pink bunnie - going to get some sleep my insanity is catching up with me

Day 29 - 77 days till Sakura con 2010

For some unknown reason I decided I wasn't under enough pressure with 17 costumes and 3 plush commissions to do. So I decided to see how many days I had till the convention 77 days everyone ugh .... can we say scary ????

Well the good news is I have every ones except plate destroyers patterns done for xxholic and shamanic princess. Well I do need to make the bow pattern for Yuko's obi but that should be fairly easy, and thankfully Graham's costume part is pretty easy minus the mask and claws >.> its just Mokona I that scars me a lot cause I've never done a mascot costume before, I'm planing on getting clown shoes for the feet and covering them in fabric( inserting foam around ankles for comfort). I'm also going to get muslin and trace the pattern on it well PD is laying on it, I'm going to use hoops to give it shape.

I finished the girls school uniform jacket pattern today YIPE!!!!! just need fabric, buttons and some bias tape and those can be finished in a matter of days.

I hope to get Yuko's fabric and pattern this week so I can sew up the kimono this month hopefully by the end of next week. But I have really shity ass shifts for getting work done so cross your fingers for me.

I also need everyone else's costume reference pics for Tekken, I don't want to start on those patterns till these set's are done. I will do the same once I start making the costumes, I'll make them in groups so that if one set docent get done we at least all match. I like to use my brain some times.

Aurora ordered my Yuko wig to day cause she loves me ^_^

*Tsuzukikun

You should check her out some time. Ok soo I think I'm off to a good start but I would feel better if I was sewing, I'll feel better once I'm sewing ^_^, and wigs are ordered and fabric has been purchased ..... and that I'm just more ahead then I am now >.>


Pink Bunnie - thinking of moving me bed .....





and I did feel better when I play with feng shui a bit have to move a few things tomorrow though

DAy 28 - need some R&R

Today was another of my one days of T.T, it makes it a lot harder to recover from work when your days are split. Not to mention getting anything done I don't like starting big projects when I have to work the next day because I don't like to have to stop working. not to mention travel time between work, don't get me wrong I well I like my job to a degree I don't hate EVERYTHING about it but i have to wake up an extra hour early and then travel for 30 to 45 minutes depending on the day.

Now that I'm done ranting,

I was able to finish the pattern for Leon's (Shamanic Princess) jacket, I'll use a store bought pattern for the pants. As well as finish the school uniform Jacket for xxxHolic boys ^-^ I'm on a bit of a role yay !!!

I also got my tablet working finally and played around with that did a couple easy things for it like a icon pic and feature picture arrangement, and I'm playing with one of the pictures from my fashion shoot for my steam bunnie line.

Other then that I tried to relax as much as I could which wasn't much :(

Pink Bunnie - rolling into bed

Day 27 - I <3 Fabric

I just love fabric all the colours and textures and then theres silk and velvet leather cotton I love every shape and bolt of it T.T

Soooo I went fabric shopping today I don't know if you can tell, but I really like what I do. REALLY like it :)

I was able to get the fabric for Lilis jacket and skirt as well as most her lace just need her larger lace and checkered black and red fabric as well as some red ribbing for socks for shoes.

I got some fabric for Guardian Cosmos I'm planing on doing a sheer see through fabric for her bubble skirt there will be a hope skirt underneath. Need to order hooping, I also got some beads pearl shape need to go to bead store to get some other colours. I got a gold lycra I will probably use as a bathing suite shape for the upper part of the dress I'm going to probably corset it and such. The thing about Guardian Cosmos is there is no colour scheme for her so I'm using reference of what people thing and what I believe it should be I feel it should be mostly white like cosmos with the beads being the multi colour and her upper part being gold. This is just what I've come up with though.

I was able to get fabric for Lena's dress for Shamanic princess, just need her coat fabric now. I also got her red flower for the coat ^_^.

along with all this I got Aurora's skirt fabric for Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, just the pink not the blue and black. Its a beautiful pink silk a kind I cant remember the name to right now cause I'm sleepy. but it will drape beautifully.

I also managed to finish the pattern for Kigatsu's Jacket , I'm on fire that's 5 patterns done ^_^ I'm so proud of me :D. There's still a lot to do though so I will not be slacking of any time soon.

Pink Bunnie - DnD is my Dessert


It's cute and will only sleep on me when I'm on my side >.<

Day 25 and 26

I'm having a hard time writing every day with all thats going on right now ... so Tired I should be asleep but instead I've been writing down what I need for fabric for each costume which is sad cause I really need sleep.

So I'm going to sum up what I've done in the past two days quickly

I finished the pattern for Lena's coat for Shamanic Princess yay it was not easy trust me T.T I want the drapes to be perfect.

Then I'm having a hard time choosing colours for Guardian Cosmos cause theres not actual colours for her outfit. I'm using sailor cosmos as reference and some original art work of guardian cosmos.

I'm luck I have still to cash in on a grade present of fabric so I'm hoping to get most my supplies with that *crosses fingers*

You better have what I need dresssew our else!!!

Day 23 and 24

So I'm late posting for the past two days T.T very sorry, but good news is I have 3 patterns done now only god knows how many to go >.> 17 costumes probably 17 stitches to close the stab wound I might inflict with a seam ripper. I've already stabbed my self once by accident right in the web between my thumb and pointing finger :'( it hurt real bad I can tell you that much.

I know this is the morning of day 25 but I want to get caught up now before I start working on more patterns.

So Day 23

I made the pattern for my Lena from Shamanic Princess Dress, I'm hoping to make it from a knit or Lycra fabric. I've also thought of using a cotton base to give it more structure and better lines. The stretch fabric would fit snug to the body and might lay better around the collar but I think a cotton blend with no stretch would be more appealing around my mid drift so I can wear my waist cinching thing.

I also want to use a pre-maid pattern for Yuko's kimono because there's not much point making one if I don't have to. Its a lot of extra work for me, I'm hoping to sew up her kimono this month because of all the flower details that need to be painted on, I don't think I will find a fabric that will have the write print. I want as much time as possible to get it done.

Day 24

I work full time and am working on these costumes so I don't find enough energy everyday to work on them. So I try and think of ways to make it easier for me, what I need to do making lists and such.

Also this day was a emotionally draining day for me, I ended up cuddled under blankets eating KFC chicken and watching a movie with some friends. I'm dealing with some emotional stuff and I find it draining and I don't work well when I'm upset :( not to mention some one at work who seems to call in when ever their needed >.> like oh say on an add change over day. but yeah KFC was bad cause I'm trying to get in shape but when I'm upset junk food is what I crave like most girls T.T.

I also find it annoying when I say I want to do something and some one decides to take it away from me. They seem to do it over and over again, maybe I should stop trusting people with my ideas so I can keep them for my self.

Any who so I'm going to try and get a bunch done today on day 25 woot woot full of junk food and raring to go.

I've also been trying to get my tablet up and running but it seems to not like my mac so I hope to get some info from the wacom people I e-mailed to day so I can make it work and make pretty art work.

Pink Bunnie - cold KFC chicken tastes good :)

Day 22 - Con is near

Booked the Hotel today YAY we have a room at .... I'm not telling :P

I decided on my theme for my next collection ^_^ it will sound strange but there's reasons to my insanity, unfortunately only I know them. I chose to be inspired by something that is always been a stress reliever and a place i can escape to. I want to use Dungeons and Dragons as my inspiration along with the colours of produce and for highlights I might use Dice.

Theres a couple books at chapters I want to get my hands on for reference material, some gorgeous design books evening dresses and such. I will also be drawing a lot of inspiration from friends.

Thats all for today though so have a good night ^_^ you can check me out on Deviant Art as well http://pink-bunnie.deviantart.com/

Pink Bunnie - down for the count

Day 21- The New Year

Sorry It's been so long since my last entry, it was a busy week :) New years was wonderful every one loved their presents, and I got a lot of wonderful presents.

With the new year comes resolutions to do things and such, I had already started on my path I want to be in better physical shape and I want to keep motivated with my costuming and designing.

We've done a bunch of research we've found most of the wigs for the female cosplay's, still working on getting reference pics for some costumes cause they are hard to find Shamanic Princess is an oldy and not know very well.

I guess I should tell you what we decided on cosplaying >.>

Shamanic Princess we have a Tiara, Lena, Greham, Kagustu, and Leon ( hope I spelled them almost right.

Tekken 6 : Lili, Auska, Leo, and I can't remember the other two names,

XXXholic : Main cast

And

Sailor Moon : Sailor Guardian Cosmos and Sailor Heavy Metal Papilion

I started working on patterns today, I've done up Tiara's skirt/shirt thing and Papilions skirt. For Tiara I have the basic outfit and I will draw in the heart shape on the muslin and then cut it out using the muslin as a base for the final pattern. For Papilion I made the skirt pattern hoping it will work always test them with cheap fabric first !!! like they do in fashion. For her top were going to use a good push up bra as a base and cover it with fabric.

I'll try to start on some more patterns in the next couple days and order some more wigs, I have to take Fluffy to Value Village to get some used coats for leather for his Leo costume at least I think he decided on that :S guh I need to speak to the boys

Oh yeah for Christmas I made two vest's one for Fluffly with blue lining, which has his name embroidered in it and one for Paradox it has a lapel collar and purple lining with his cosplay name in it. They both have steampunk buttons down the front, Fluffy has gears and Paradox has the insides of watches. I also made Plate destroyers girl friend and our friend a house coat with a canucks patch on it ( shes a fan)

Well I've been out of posting for a while sorry again I will try and get back to doing it everyday I want to work on designing my new collection tomorrow so I will start researching, not sure if I want to go with main stream couture fashion our another steampunk line.

Pink Bunnie - steaming off again

Day 14 - Our Christmas

So we have our Christmas with friends on New years because you don't always get a chance to get everyone together to exchange gifts and its fun and we bring in the new year with some of the best people in my life.

So I can not update telling you want I'm working on because it will rune what presents are because I'm sewing some of my presents :D cause I'm awesome like that!!!! I will tell you all about them when I can. I don't think you shall her from me till the new year because well I have a lot to get ready with the party and making presents.

Pink Bunnie - Is not ready for a new year but nothing I can do about it

Day 12 - Cosmode

Well I was on the island I got a copy of Cosmode issue 23, it has some entrusting tutorials on amour and a few other accessories tutorials. I'm just trying to decipher how to do them through the pictures, when I'm sewing from a pattern I don't use the written instructions in less its really difficult. I usually go by the pictures :) I learn from observation :D

We also played more tekken 6 trying to unlock more accessories to see if I can make a cool fun costume from that >.> I know I should probably stick with one of the pre-maids but it would be fun to just through something together.

Other then that its still Holiday season so there hasn't been any major progress with costumes because we celebrate our Christmas with our friends on new years eve exchange of gifts and what not. I still have to finish making some of them and pick up other ones >.> :D

Pink Bunnie - needs to get the next book in her series

Day 11- Tekken Research

After my nice small Christmas with my Mommy I journeyed home to play my new Tekken 6 game which I like to call research :D

Technically speaking it is research, I don't like cosplaying any character I don't like, and no one should be made to cosplay someone they don't like. It makes for an unhappy cosplayer and in less the character is moody pissy and moody with the other characters it just dosent work out >.>

So yes when I got home I popped in Tekken 6 and started playing story mode as Lili the character I will be cosplaying ( decision purely on appearance ) and after playing the game on my screen which I'm unable to read subtitles so I don't really know much about whats going on any who, I like the character for her fighting style, but I can't really relate to her since she is a daddys girl and is even more of a princess mentality.

Other then that her character design is nice, it was between her and Asuka for me and since they are rivals me and Cake ended up deciding it be best if I did Lili and she was Asuka ( she docent do blond well in her words). I don't mind being Lili I've been working on her poses in my mind they are a lot of good ones and her fighting style is cool. I just am not found of the alternate costumes and I don't want to cosplay her first player costume because EVERY ONE AND THEIR DOG has cosplayed that costume (puke)

Well watching the arena conclusion for Lili her and Asuka run into each other in more then a manner of speaking, in school uniforms. What I'm thinking is, is it wrong to go with one of her made up costumes ( you can change up costumes with items you pick up) our do her school uniform? just so I can be different ? our will I get annoyed cause people wont recognize our understand ? this is my dilemma. I don't really have the time to be so unsure of the costumes :(



I think I am set on doing Yukos Yellow bow and red with white flower Kimono though, it's the first costumes she wears in the manga and its not to difficult as well as it has the hair down which was a requirement for me. I don't have enough time to mess with wigs for this con, I have plans for the bow, every cosplay I've seen of this costume so fare has not done the bow the wright justice so I hope to fix that.

I would also if I have time like to sneak in a Aya cosplay for Sakura con ( parasite eve) all I need is the wig and to buy the other parts of the costume from value village so it shouldnt be to hard :D

thats it for to day focs

Pink Bunnie- of to dream land

Day 8- Northern Lights Cospaly

To day was full of bustling around getting ready to head to my moms for Christmas, its just me and my mommy for Christmas this year :). No prezzy's but I did talk her into a tree and turkey, its just not Christmas if you don't eat turkey :P.

So I made lots of cookies and banana bread to day to give as presents at work, cause well I'm broke and they don't pay me enough to get them actual presents. I also cleaned a bit, packed for my trip to the island and finished my mommys present ^_^ I made her a photo album YAY!!! well not so much made it as put pictures in one I purchased :D.

I also made a christmas hat for a coworker cause he loved mine so much, and a small dolfie hat for my old manager at the comic book store. I hope to stop there well I'm on the island, pic up some prezzys for people if I get paid on Friday.

The group also went to get our picture taken with Santa FINALLY only took till the day before Christmas eve. We also figured out our cosplay name !!!! If you haven't guessed already its Northern Lights Cosplay, Paradox thought it up well walking around at work today. Its everything we wanted, Canadian, pretty, simple, easy to say no ones going to get ink mess up for inc (morons). We also thought about re-naming our selfs such as cake would be Aurora and I would be Dawn, inside joke.

Pink Bunnie is Awesomers ( new word made up to night)

Day 7 - Organization

Something you should know about me is I hate things that are messy, I like clean and organized work space, unfortunately with the given space I have its nearly impossible. I have to share what space I have for working with people, who on many occasion don't consider going around. I like my space and I like it private :( any whooo

SO I had my work space down stairs in this tiny unfinished work room meant for more manly things like hammering stuff "thats not leather" and making stuff out of wood. I tried it for a while but cats decided to well use it as a litter box and I was very unappreciative.

I spent my time after work cleaning and organizing my things bringing my pattern making tools, and some other supplies upstairs to the space I like to call no stomping zone... I know my friends will probably read this but they know its true. My things are not safe from cats or people so I just try my best not to cry to much. Makes your eyes all puffy and stuff,

You might wounder why this is considered working towards the production of my costumes for next year. We'll I cant be productive down stairs so I brought my self upstairs hoping to be more productive !!!! yay

Ummmmm.. I think thats all for now I started checking out wigs and I'm having a hard time finding photos of Auskas second player costume, and am debating if I can do Lili's second player, since i have a tattoo on my back and I like to be accurate >.>

Pink Bunnie tip toeing off again

Day 6 - Costumes and characters finalized

So yesterday was a black out cause it just was!!!!

we have finalized all characters YAY!!! just one costume to pick out for Yuuko cause I'm so enable to decided. I will be Lili and Cake will be Asuka from Tekken yay rivals, we cosplay rivals well, we have been rivals at least 5 our more times. Its fun to partner that way ^_^ gives your characters a dynamic. I can't wait to see her as Kunogi Himawari she'll be sooo cute!

Once we've decided for sure on characters I print out pictures of all the characters and start making notes on how I'm going to make the costumes. Where I'll find the fabric, what kind of fabric, if I will use something and alter it etc. its going to be sooo much fun in 2010 ^-^

I started looking at wigs on e-bay and cosworxs as well I like to try and get the wigs in advance !!!

hmmm.. not a lot done today but it is the Christmas season :)
