It is the night before the Con, and Nichole and I will be flying the red-eye flight to Boston from Denver Colorado. Will we be able to sleep on the plane? Will the plane be packed full of people? Will all of our carefully packed costumes make it in one piece?!?! Dun Dun DUNNNNNN!
Our bags are packed, everything that can be done is finished, and hopefully we get a nap in before the flight!
I had left out a few of my final touches to things in my previous blogs, so while I have some down time at work I will try and post all the missing details I had left out!
Day one: Morgiana from Magi
As mentioned before, Nichole made the dress for me, and it fits perfect! Here are some closeups of some of the accessories I made for Morgiana:
Sandals: I had bought these cheap one size fits all roman sandals from Spirit if Halloween (LOVE that store) but the shoes ...they sucked. They would not stay on my feet, and even sewing the straps tighter did not keep them in place. So, I removed the straps, and sewed them onto my favorite sandals. At least my feet will be comfortable!

 |
| You can't really see the pink (yay) and these are comfortable! Huzzah. |
I already posted pictures of the wrist bands and necklace, but here they are again ready to be packed. The bands have some tissue in them to keep their shape, and they are being packed in a small box to help protect them. We only packed carry on suitcases, can't risk checking a bag with these goods!
That's it for Morgiana. (Well, I packed her wig too.)
Nichole and I took a couple practice pictures with our costumes on, she is dressed as Hakuryuu Ren, who totally has a crush on my character. Heehee.
My wig could use a little styling, but it works.
Day two: Moogle from Final Fantasy Ten
I posted most of this too, but here are some closeups for the headband I did.

| Back side of the puff ball. You can see where I glued the pompoms and wire together here. |
 |
| I sewed the felt right into the headband. |
Nichole dressed up as Lulu for this cosplay, so I am essentially her minion. I copy her moves, and kick people.
 |
| Lulu shows off her chest, and the moogle gets embarrassed. We thought this made a fun pose. |
Day three: Crowley from Supernatural
We made almost no changes to this. I added a red carnation for Crowley's pocket, and I may be wearing a black and red wig (because it looks cool and I could see a female Crowley having cool hair like that).
Here's the Halloween picture:
 |
| I won't wear the horns. Nothing else has really changed. Nichole is Castiel. |
 |
| Close-up of my pin |
 |
| I want to try and do this pose for the con. I love the distrustful look that Castiel has and the smirk that Crowley has. |
So, that's the costumes! Here is my packed full carry on suitcase:
 |
| So full! |
 |
| The cats are helping. *sigh* |
 |
| Our craft room. Nichole has her own area with a small door so the cat's can't get in and trash her stuff. I am proud of this tiny room. |
We are also packing snacks for this trip and I am bringing a water bottle. Lots of junk food!
 |
| Have to have gummies! We found Star Wars ones. |
