Plans for this Fall

Finally, it's time for my favorite season of the year, Fall (or Autumn if I want to be relevant to the rest of the world). There is something that's just so magical about fall, from the changing of the leaves, to Halloween, it's all so fantastic! 
I'm also really glad it's finally getting cooler out, while I really enjoyed this summer, I am not good at handling the heat!  I'm pumped to cuddle up in warm sweaters and blankets! 
I have a surprising amount of stuff going on this season! September has been the first few weeks of school and swim team, as well as a planned trip to the state fair, October is my Birthday and costume making for November in which I'm attending Aki-Con and Nanowrimo is going on! With that and, swim team and Symphony I'll be busy. It'll be hard to get everything done, but I'll try my best!
Miou cosplay progress
I'm espiclly excited about Aki-Con, as it will be my first time ever attending it. I'll be cosplaying as Miou from Sabagebu which has easily been my favorite anime of the summer season. I've been recording progress shots as I work, so once I'm all done I'll put them together in a "project journal" sort of thing and upload it for you guys! (I hope you'll enjoy it!)  You can see how far I've gotten with it here,
WIXOSS!
Speaking of anime, there two shows I'm really excited to see this season Selector Spread WIXOSS and SHIROBAKO.
I watched the first season of WIXOSS as it came out last spring, and I've been pumped to see more! This show is awesome and if you're into trading card games and despair I'd recommend it!
SHIRIBAKA looks like it will be my sol for the season, from what I can tell, its about a group of cute girls working together to create their own anime.  I'm looking forward to it no doubt!
Getting back to cosplay (one of my favorite things to talk about ahaha) I'm just feeling really excited about starting my big project for the year!  I've mentioned my plans in another blog post, and I'll talk about them again in the future, no doubt, but this is going to be so much fun! (And so much work!)  With that and all my school work, and symphony, and sports, I'll be super busy, but it'll all be worth it. Another good thing is hopefully Hey Say Cosplay will be getting help from a more professional photographer so we can have some nice high quality shots (Not saying our current ones are bad, but we can always do better!)
It also looks like we are going to get some cosplay videos done soon, which I'm always excited for!
See you guys soon!

School Again

So far, I've only had three days of school, but in already feeling very, very tired. I'm so glad it's the weekend. This school year I have some really fun classes though, and I'm really feeling excited about them! It's also the first year I've been able to be in an art class, which is great! 
Cutting Patterns
Hopefully I'll be filming some fun videos this week. I started working on a dress for an upcoming cosplay video, so I'll be filming bits of that, but I'm sure it will take more them a weekend. Sewing if one of those things where I always forget how long it takes to do anything, and always go "yeah I can totally do this in one day" hahaha nope!  But I really enjoy it anyway so it all works out. 
Miou is the one with purple hair
Speaking of cosplay, a few other members of hey say cosplay and I plan on going up to Aki con this October!  I'm pretty pumped for that, because I've never been before and it would be super fun! I'm hoping to put togther a cosplay of Miou from Sabagebu, but seeing as I won't have too much time for sewing the next few weeks, I'll likely just try and find all the peices and see what I can make work. (Looks like I get to go thrifting!)  
So, as my last weekend before youth symphony starts, I will be sure to fill it with cosplay hahahahaha. I hope all of you guys have enjoyed your summers, and I assure you you'll hear from me again soon.
