Family - Lost and Found

Within the last 6 months I have lost not one but two family members, my uncle and my grandmother. The pain I see in my family members hurts me more then them being gone at the moment.  But today the lost of my grandma hit me like a bullet in the heart with the closer of her burial that she is forever gone from me on this earth.

But through all this pain I feel a lot closer to some of my family that I always hoped would happen. I also never so heart fulled wanted a family reunion on that side of the family. So what I dream of happening I am going to try to do one in the summer of next year, or maybe next year.

Before I start this journey of finding the family I can to and expand to ones that have been lost with miles I am going to draw a few pictures, One of my late grandmother with Cardinals, my grandfather with fish, my aunt with what ever she liked and my uncle with deer. These will then be displayed or I will just display the ones we lost more recent.

Cosplay - Maka (Soul Eater)

Okay so here it is, my first post! For Halloween this year I am debating on who I should go as. I am Leaning more on the Soul Eater side with Maka So this post will be about how I plan to look like Maka for the cheapest price I can. Plus, I can use this things in a day to day use. Clearly not all together but in parts, I live in the north it can get cold!

1. White Button-Up Shirt.  (Have from past jobs)
2. Black Jacket, I would use this pattern roll up the cuffs and use a cuff pin or button (Voguepatterns.mccall.com)
3. Pale Yellow or Cream Sweater Vest. This will be a fall winter look for at places like Good will and Online...I could always die it or make it....x_X
                                                           Places of consideration:
    3a. (Amazon.com)
    3b. (http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns) I don't Crochet sadly...maybe I can find/make a knitting one..X_x
    3c. (Clothing4all.com) Maybe in Khaki....

4. Green (w/ white stripes). (Thetiebar.com, atkinsonsties.com, johnlewis.com, or dalvey.com) or ...raid my brothers closet >_>
5. White Gloves. I can find this in any Halloween shop come time. <_<
6. Red Plaid Skirt. (Wholesale-dress.net, polyvore.com, jcpenney.com)
7. Shoes....I think just black combat style might work..other wise I have no clue!

If I feel like I have some free time (and extra money) I might try to make her Scythe with a dowel rod or something mix with cardboard.

Well that is the plan so far....I might change my mind later, heck I have a whole year! (almost)
