Fabric~ YAY

(me practicing with a wig I already have heheh)

I bought vinyl. I'm a bit worried. I've heard it kind of gets tricky making outfits out of Vinyl material but I think I am up to the challenge. I like challenges---sort of.

So I abused JoAnn's sale and bought 5 different types of fabric for the price of $24! I still need fabric for my Rikku and Sheik costumes but I got some to work on Rikku's outfit. I had NO luck with finding a good stretchy blue for Sheik. I might have to start over and get new fabric for the whole body suit part so I can find the right blues together. ;__; Siiiiigh I bought that bolt at Wal-Mart risking this issue and it happened. Oh well, you learn from your mistakes!

I'm super excited to work on all my costumes but even MORE excited to see my fiance this Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh I have someone to help me with my props whenever I run into a random problem at home. ^-^; Yeah, I don't know..I'm so excited though. He's like my best friend, which is good I guess considering I'll be marrying him. :] We both like to work on things alone..so when we're in the room working on stuff it's kind of quiet and relaxing. We get a lot done. So he won't be too much of a distraction... Maaaaybe at first since I haven't seen him in 7 months lol but...yeah. I'm just excited.

In any case. I can't wait to get more RIkku progress done but until he arrives I'm going to keep the room clean ;__; Yeah..I don't feel good right now, my tummy is acting up so I'm going to go now.

Thank you President's Day!

I finally got to go to JoAnn's and what's even better is they were having a sale on some of the fabrics, so I bought some cotton for the green parts of my Mercede's costume for like $2 a yard! I got like 8 bucks worth of that..and then I got 1 yard of off-white stretchy fabric($8/yard) for the midsection of my costume..actually more than a yard, but the total was like $18 all together with tax. I hate stupid tax! -_-; but whateverrrr.....I'm happy I have the material, and all the needed stuff for my psypher to glow red. :]

We also found a Japanese grocery store. It was cute and looked new. I got some Ramune, Hi-Chew and an off-brand box of "pocky". The lady working there was pretty and seemed pretty happy to have us in her store. She had her hair dyed and contacts...I think she was trying to be more American. I wonder why though, the Japanese are already pretty to meeee.. *~* Anyway! I liked the store! I want to get a job soon so I can buy my own stuff to make Japanese food or something. They had lots of neat ingredients. I have some applications I picked up...but I don't know. I'm thinking I might try and find something closer here, and temporary since I will be going back to CA.
