I have finally found a dress that will work great for my Fluttershy cosplay!
The next thing that I need to worry about will be making her wings and maybe some ears...
I already have a design figured out but I don't know how to sew... So I will be pulling out the sewing machine in the garage and trying to figure it out this week I think.
I have some spare fabric, including fabric with weird patterns, teddy bears, or Christmas themed patterns that I can use while learning to sew.
I've got 38 days to learn how to sew and to make the wings I need!
On a side note, I ordered my costume for Harley Quinn, received it in the mail and it was completely horrible! Maybe worth $20, but not even sort of worth the $60 that I paid. Luckily I've talked to the company and I'll be returning it for all of my money back!
I'm also close to finishing dying her wig.
Instead of doing Harley from Arkham City, I'll be creating my own makeshift Harley!
In all honesty it might not be fantastic since it's super last minute for me... But I'm excited and looking forward to it, and I know that I'll love it and that's all that counts!
I look forward to seeing you at Kumoricon!

Fluttershy and Harley update
So the dress that I had for Fluttershy was great, and then I dyed it...
The color didn't come out right, so I'm going to try to use a little bleach with it to see if it'll go to the right color, if not then a new dress will be bought and a better dye will be found.
I'm also looking for some cute sandals that I can wear with my Fluttershy outfit, and looking into cute makeup ideas using Pinterest!
Harley Quinn's costume will be bought in about four weeks, I also found a great wig that I plan on using for her, and I've already found ways to dye the pigtails the proper colors! I'm still considering buying her boots, or making boot covers, or even just using a pair of black boots that I already own. I've also been using youtube to watch makeup tutorials for her!
My third cosplay is still only a possibility at this point in time, I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to make it or not, or if I'll have the money to make her. If I do end up having the time and money my amazing Aunt Kelly will be helping me and teaching me how to sew. Really, since I don't know how to sew she'll be showing me and probably making the entire thing herself anyway...
There's only 66 days left until Kumoricon and I can't wait!
I also emailed the staff of Kumoricon about being a volunteer for a few hours one or two of the days of convention, and they replied very quickly and with good answers to all of my questions. So I may be volunteering there for the first time this year!
I look forward to seeing you there!

Fluttershy, Harley Quinn, Tyki Mikk(?)
Kumoricon 2013
Work hasn't been giving me good hours, so I'm doing what I can with what I have.
Of course there's still a little over three months before the convention so I'm not worried yet!
As I said in my last post, I'll be cosplaying Fluttershy from MLP Friendship is Magic, Harley Quinn from Arkham City, and my most recent (possibility) is human Tyki Mikk!
Fluttershy is the closest to being finished, her dress needs to be dyed, and wings need to be created!
Harley Quinn is in progress, but going slowly. Very slowly.
Tyki Mikk will happen if I'm able to find a good wig for him, and if I can find some clothes for his human form at Good Will. There may be a fancier Tyki Mikk in 2014!
Shopping for fabric dye, and paint begins today!
Much love everyone,

Pre Kumoricon Prep
So my first note is that I'm new to blogging, so this may not be written well.
Kumoricon is an anime convention taking place in Vancouver, Washington. It is August 31-September 2, 2013!
I have been to Kumoricon in the past, but I've never actually cosplayed before, I've just gone dressed normally with fun makeup.
This year though, I'm cosplaying, and beyond excited for it.
I will be dressing as Fluttershy (human version) from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
As well as Harley Quinn from Arkham City!
The very first thing I did to begin getting ready for this convention was bought my three day pass! I've already received it in the mail, and have it pinned up somewhere that I can't lose it before the convention.
I've also booked a hotel room, and at this point I only have one roommate... If we can't get two more, then the room will be canceled and we'll be driving their and home every day/night, but that'll work either way!
I found a dress that can be used for Fluttershy, it just needs to be dyed the proper color, and I need to sew some wings that can be worn with the dress. I have also bought a beautiful, long dark pink wig for her, and I'll probably just where some cute sandals with her outfit.
Harley Quinn is on hold for now, since I have just under four months to finish her up. I'll be bleaching my hair for her rather than buying a wig, and I'll be creating boot covers to match her thigh high boots! Her outfit is ready, and just needs to be fitted properly. I've also began painting her baseball bat and can't wait to have it ready!
More posts will come as progress comes along, and I will post about the convention itself as it happens and once its finished!
Have a great day!
