Birthday Plans?

ladyofthethreadHmm… I’m not sure if I’m going to try to do anything for my birthday this year. Like last year, it’s a few days after NYAF. I did a tea thing last year on Sunday afternoon after the con but only ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sakuralenayuy and usa_ko were able to make it. It’s also a bit hard to get from the Javits to other places around town. ^_^; And I know there are several other birthdays on my friends list around then so I’m not sure if people are already planning other things.
Also, I just realized the other night it’s going to be a bit crazy around then because my parents’ 30th anniversary is the day before my birthday. My mother was saying that we’d have the dinner party for that on Sunday, which is the last day of NYAF. So, I wouldn’t have as much time to hang out after the con that day. And the Saturday after the con (10/3) is the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival so that night is also out. And I assume the weekend before NYAF, people might be busy with last minute sewing. ^_^;; Nights in general don’t work that well for me so I’d prefer to do a lunch/brunch thing (maybe dim sum?) or afternoon tea.
So, a little poll to help me figure out if it’s worth trying to plan anything or not…
[Poll #1450367]
Ekaterina’s petticoat has been done for a few days. On Wednesday, I went out and got millinery wire, buckram, and some wool so I can try to make a tricorne. Visitedneoangelwink afterwards and cut out some of my hat pieces at her place. Also met her friend Flippy.
Hopefully, I’ll get the hat finished up over the weekend and then I should start messing around with the coat pattern again and see if I can finally get it to work this time.
And I think I’m about finished with uploading stuff to the Cure account I made a few weeks ago. I threw one of my Terra photos into the weekly contest on the Japanese side of the site since the current theme is all FF characters. Mostly just to amuse myself since I almost never have a costume that fits series contests on cosplay sites. I don’t actually expect to get any votes but figured it might be good for a bit of exposure. Only knew about the weekly contest because I rememberedwaynekaa talking about one some months back.
Okay, off to work on that hat…
