Making my own costume is hard, but also a lot of fun. Actually, I enjoy sewing more so than working on photoshop! I am extremely impatient when it comes to drawing and coloring on the computer. I guess I like sewing. Speaking of which, it hurts when you accidentally stab your finger with a needle!

So, it is 1 am in the morning (the night is still young ), I am sitting in my room, a bit hungry, wearing an outfit I do not want my parents or anyone else to see me it. It is what I have so far of my costume, which consists of an open bodice held together by a hairclip, a poofy sleeve that can easily be ripped apart- because I've only basted-, no sleeve on the other arm, a poofy skirt. The ensemble is held together by a belt, but between my "dress" and belt is my white summer dress, acting in place of an apron.

I think I am making much progress.

Okay, so what is this costume? Lately I've been inspired by a lot of people online and at dA who have cosplayed as Hungary from the web manga/anime Hetalia. A burning desire gripped my heart and alas! XD But no, seriously, I needed something entertaining and hopefully rewarding to keep me busy over the summer.

However, every project has its difficulties, and with this one, it's finding a decent wig. Hungary has ash/light brown colored hair. Even though my hair looks similar to hers, I decided not to dye my hair for this summer because I was afraid of damages. Instead, I opted for a wig that's not too expensive. I purchased one from ebay a week or two ago, but it turned out to be exactly the same color as my hair: dark brown. So I went online again, and bought another wig. Except this time, I was stupid and bought the wrong wig! I contacted the seller, asking them to change my order, if they can. At the same time, I am not really concerned because both wigs would be okay. I can't even make up my mind on which one is better, because each has its pros and cons. Meanwhile, it's been two days since I contacted seller, and he/she hasn't replied back. So... I guess it's going to be a surprise for now. Some people might call it fate. I just hope I'm not wasting my money TT_TT .

lol, I love these icons
