Starting next year, I'm gonna set myself a challenge. I still have so many things (cosplays, clothing, stuff for Tegendraads) I wanna make, but never actually get to making them, simply because I don't make time for it. And today, I decided that has got to change! So from January on, I'm gonna try to finish one project every month, no matter if this is a cosplay prop, a piece of clothing I still wanted to make for myself, a commission or a new load of stuff for Tegendraads. I'll have one month to realise it!
So why not start now? Well, I AM gonna start now (or- this tuesday, because I'm still missing some fabrics for my first project), but since december is coming up, I'm not really sure I'm gonna have much time to finish it.
And why one a month? That's pretty simple, actually. Because when I would write down what I do every day, I'll probably realise that I'm wasting a huge amount of my time on... Well... Absolutely nothing, really. Hours and hours every week/month that I could've also spent on making awesome things. And thus! Let's spend those hours on awesome things. B)
By the time I start, I hope I can say I'm the proud owner of a digital camera again, so that every month, I can actually keep you all updated about my progress. Like I'm supposed to do.
So that's it for now! A post in which absolutely nothing interesting happened. BUT! I do hope it has given you all something to look forward to. I am, at least!

A welcome.
And there it is. A blog. Something I've been talking and thinking about for ages (or- actually only a day and a half).
So here's what this is: I am a starting cosplayer (finished cosplay rate: one.) and a fashion student. I really like working with my hands (i.e. sewing, mostly, but also cross-stitching, working with clay or any other way of oldschool self-expression in 3D) and I always concider it fun and useful if I read about other cosplayers/costume designers and how they overwon their difficulties on a certain costume, prop or anything else. Which got me thinking- what if I start a blog about that kinda stuff? A blog on which I report about (almost) everything costume-related I do, keep you updated about the progress, difficulties, problems that occur and how I (try to) solve them and tips and tricks I find out and come across. And since I'm still only a starter, I'm pretty sure I'll make enough faults for you to learn from!
Except for that... This is also a way for me to be able to look back on my own progress throughout the days/weeks/months/years and if I suddenly forget this-or-that trick I used, I'd always be able to find it back here, hopefully including pictures that make my story clearer.
I'm gonna try to do everything in English, so that as much as possible people can profit from it. But Dutch is my mother language still, so please forgive me if I don't know the right terms for things sometimes, or if my use of English is just simply wonky.
That's it for now. At the moment, I am working on two costumes- the Masked Croissant (or Mask of Croissant or the other thousand names that she goes by in different countries), the "disguise" Ringo used in Air Gear to help out Ikki and his team, and Kim Possible's Shego because she rocks my socks. I'll try to update here about every different piece of costume that I have to make for both (though I already finished Ringo's bathing suit, sorry), starting with Ringo's mask. Hopefully this midday already, even.
That, and ofcourse try to personalize my page a bit. Because now, it looks incredibly plain and standard-layout-ish. (which it is, ofcourse)
... But now mom's going pissed on me not sitting at the kitchen table for lunch, so you guys have to do with this for a few hours. xD
(hopefully) till soon!
