Hello dear reader, 

I've had a lot going on recently! I thought I'd post a little update on all the stuff I've been doing and working on. 

I spent a lot of time FINALLY working on my Appa cosplay this week!! I am SO glad I finally got more progress done. On one of my days off I worked on the base layer of the outfit. I'm quite satisfied with how it's coming out. 

Whats left now for sewing is finishing the pants, making the kimono top and the waist sash. Then I need to turn my attention to finishing up the cloak and the necklace. Last will be just getting the boots and wig, and little details done like that. I REALLY hope this cosplay comes out the way I am envisioning!! I will have a master post with breakdowns on everything once its completed. But for now heres a little WIP preview.

I also am gonna start on my little Heartless prop soon too. I'm also making my friend's heartless cosplay too! So much sewing and crafting is still in my future lol. It will be con-crunch all the way to San Japan for us! 

Recent Reads 

I've been catching up on my manga backlog lately, and have been powering through Snow White with the Red Hair. Its such a great series, I cant believe I'm almost caught up! 

I also finally got my hands on a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl! I am so so excited to finally start this series after hearing so many good things about it. 

Recent Watches 

I have been watching through ATLA again since the Aang movie is coming out so soon. It was just announced that its getting a limited theater run in select cities, so i hope those screenings do super well so more theaters can get it! I am beyond stoked for it tonight release. Ive been in such an ATLA mood lately, I even got my hands on the Book 2 Vinyl! Finally I can listen to Secret Tunnel in the best way possible. 

The vinyl itself is such a pretty color, it reminds me of the crystal caverns in Book 2, which is 100% what they're going for. 

I've weirdly also been watching a lot of the old original Japanese Ninja Warrior. I used to watch it on G4 all the time back in the day, and honestly the American Ninja Warrior is just not the same. Theres something about Ninja Warrior in 2009 thats just so nostalgic. 

Other than that, its just been working and family time for me! Hoping to spend more time working on cosplay this weekend in my off hours. Thanks for checking in! 

Have a great day, wherever and whenever you are.
