Hello, everybody!

Normally, I have something in mind for writing here, like an organized little list of things that I want to say, which matter a bit because I don't often catch up on messages enough to be able to post a journal!

I've been really ridiculously sick ( super bad sinus infection ) for a while now, am finally getting better, and feel mentally capable to commenting and knowing what words I'm typing! I will be catching up to all of you lovely people over the next few days- hopefully all today, but I never bank on anything anymore!

I will be finishing up chapters 14, and hopefully 15, of "Highly Unexpected" before summer ends- I honestly thought that I would have more edited by now, but things have just gone to Hades and back. 14 is mostly done- just a few more things I want to go over before it's ready! To those who read, thank you so much for your patience! The story has not been abandoned!

:wizardhat: Anime Fest Wichita was amazing again this year! My allergies decided to make me incredibly sick the day before and the day of, so not only had I pulled an all-nighter with a painful throat ( thank GOSH for Ruby Gloom; it seriously kept me alive that night ), but I felt like I was slogging through Jell-O all day. Still, for the con to be as epic as it was, despite those things, I think says a lot about the lovely people who were there, and who ran it.
I was Kaylee from Firefly, something I've always wanted to do, but never got around to- I still need to add all of the Chinese writing to the suit, then do another shoot with my sis, but for the amount of time I had to work with in between all of the chaos, I feel it still looked okay! If I post any pics of it, and you see there's no writing on the suit, well... be forgiving! ^_^;; I just ran short of time.  

Wii-Chan was Amaterasu ( Okami ), and got so, so much love! People of AFW are so wonderful! And so is my sister, for making her reflector shield! Wii's dress, belt, tail and ears were all hand-sewn ( by meee )! I felt really proud of it, like all the extra work was definitely worth it.

Because so many things went wrong in the months leading up to the con, my costume ended up being lacking in a lot of detail, and was still about fifty sizes too big, but people were extraordinarily sweet, and we got tons of hugs and photos! I was nervous to cosplay a Firefly character at an anime convention, but there was SO many fans! So many! It was amazingggg. It does my heart good to have met so many browncoats!

Most importantly, Wii had a great time, and in the end, that's the best reason to keep going, year after year. The people were fantastic- we made so many new friends, and saw so many ones we already know... It was just a blast!

And Wii sang "Still Alive" on Rock Band in the game room. It was pretty danged adorable.


:wizardhat:  The GOOD news is that "The Taffetas" pitch project ( thetaffetas.blogspot.com/ ) seems to be coming along really nicely, and at a great speed! I can't overstate my excitement about this project! If you haven't yet, I implore you to go check it out. It's awesome. ^_^

:wizardhat:  The sad news is that, following up on my previous journal, my kitty Lulu was found to have an aggressive form of cancer caused by the feline leukemia vaccination. It is a very rare occurrence, and although the tumor is gone, things will get worse either soon, or later on down the road- it's all a matter of waiting. It's been an intense couple of months, with Ein becoming deathly ill back in May, then Lulu getting so sick in June, but we must keep on swimming! A Fflam is resilient!

Anyweasel!

:wizardhat:  As of August 3, I will officially be closing commissions again! I'll still be working with a couple of people, but our school year is, for whatever reason, starting waaaay earlier this year, as our new principal decided that kids love losing most of a month of summer!
So, we'll be dealing with a brand-new curriculum, a whole new system, and a LOT of really odd changes, and I won't be able to provide any manner of snappy service during all these new things.

If you want to be put in a queue for just in case, of course you are welcome to! Just note me, e-mail me or something of the like, and I'll let you know if I can draw you something. ^_^

I hate to have to close down so soon, but the summer just sort of got sucked away this year. There is still a whole month left to make stuff for people, and that is exciting!


I hope this journal finds you all in a great summer- some of you, I hope, a better summer than you've been having! I wish you all health, happiness and hopefully something cool to drink!

Much love and many waffles,
          M. Cat

Ah, poor Lulu. Just don't abadnon hope.

You'll cope with new rules, I'm sure. But gather your strength to it :)

Have a nice August. Every summer is a little life :)
