*awww* I am seeing some cute non-avatars!

I haven't even tried, I suxor at the non-avatar avatars

No way! I bet you are are great at it! How do you know if you haven't tried?!

oh I have tried, about six different times, and each time it was a hot mess

The first one I made was godawful. BUT! you just have to keep at it! This one took me quite a few goes. I'm still not completely happy with it but *eh* ~

I'll probably futz with one later...not motivated tonight. I should be down at the sewing machine, but I'm here halfheartedly posting.

Sewing?! What pray tell!?!!!

finishin' off my costume for Dragoncon, or at least one of 'em. I just have lost my motivation since I have literally one seam to finish and eleven days to do so. I'm better when it comes to down to the wire, this is just too much extra time LOL

HAHAHA!!! I'm the same way!!! If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. <3 What are you dressing up as?

the costume I'm working on is Lotte from Disney's Princess and the frog, but that's just one of the five I'm taking

FIVE! HOLY! WOW!

Gimme the run down!

*Wanders in to look over the sweets and teas.* o.o

Lessee, we've got Tsunade from Naruto, a TOS Star Trek Leuitenent, Lotte, Femme Deadpool(a formal for a ball), and Glorianna from Marvel. The only 'new' one will be Lotte, the rest I've had done for a while.

Wow, that is awesome! I think I'm too fat to cosplay what I want. I can sew though. *nod nod* I've made cosplays for my American Girl doll.

what is this 'too fat'? When I need to be a specific shape I 1)add a corset to my under-layers to make the rest of me look proportionate then 2)adjust the costume to fit my body not the otehr way around. There is NO such thing as a costume you can't...no...I won't finish that, there are some very good examples of things us larger girls should NOT wear(black rock shooter, that chick from gurren lagan, and a few assorted others that run around in string bikinis...those, we need to avoid cause TACKY!). But, beyond that, as long as you make it fit you it'll work!

HAHA! Nope - even if I was skinny I wouldn't do tacky costume, plus I like detail and wearing mostly nothing is not detail to me.
