As I was researching my Mary Poppins dress this morning one of the pictures i stumbled across was one i had posted to my blog earlier this year. It was in my what I hope to make/bring to CON post and it made me laugh cause the list has changed quite a bit.
From my October 23rd post these were the costumes that I had slated to bring to CON
Old Costumes
-- Kaylee, Luna Lovegood, Dr Horrible Groupie and Dark Phoenix
New Costumes
-- Mary Poppins, Castle Anthrax, Rose Tyler - Steampunk variation and Quidditch Robes
From my January 11th post these were the costumes that I had slated to bring to CON
Old Costumes
--I apparently didn't mention what old costumes I'd like to bring
New Costumes
Committed to bringing
--Mary Poppins, Rose Tyler - Steampunk variation
Most likely will bring
-- USO Girl - Steampunk variation, Castle Anthrax, Quidditch Robes
Keep putting off
--Tetra - Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, Poison Ivy
Would like to do soon
--Fi - Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
And now with 16 days to go to CONvergence my list sits as
Old Costumes
--Luna Lovegood, Dr Horrible Groupie
New Costumes
--Mary Poppins, Rose Tyler - Steampunk variation and Secret Group Costume
So lots of changes to the lineup over the past 6 months ...the only new costumes to stay from beginning to end were Mary Poppins and Rose Tyler and the only returning costumes to make it to the end were Luna Lovegood and Dr Horrible Groupie. Had I been more diligent about budgeting and not being lazy when it came to my sewing schedule I could have gotten the USO Girl costume done. Ah well it will probably just end up being my Halloween costume.
Kaylee and Dark Phoenix are returning to CONvergence this year but I most likely won't be wearing them. My friend Andy is going to be wearing them over his deadpool costume. Kaylee at our Victorian Lady Doctor tea party on Sunday afteroon and I have no idea when he has Dark Phoenix planned.

As of last night the organza (over) dress for Mary Poppins is done, attached the bows to the hemline and installed the zipper. Tonight I hope to get the zipper installed in the satin (under) dress and maybe get either the waist cincher or the spats done. Everything "needs" to be done by Friday so I can start working on the secret group costume. I've got most of my accessories for that costume done and i have a mockup of the dress cut out now I'm just waiting for payday to go buy the actual fabric and begin construction. I always underestimate how long stuff is going to take ...but it really shouldn't take that long it's a fairly simple costume.
