PHEW... more calendar costumes.
Added 2018-09-19 15:48:58 +0000 UTCI was doing pretty well there for about a month, but I've definitely been dragging my feet getting back to these costumes since DragonCon, and I still have FIVE LEFT blegh.
Still remaining: Ygritte, Septa Unella, Margaery, Yara, and Ellaria. The common thread between most of these costumes is that they're less straightforward. That is, I can't just blindly follow a commercial pattern for most of them.
I really wanted to have all these done and shot by October 1, but with Spa-Con coming up this weekend, I just... am doubtful. I'm probably going to miss this deadline just like I missed the first one I set.
I'm used to pushing myself to get things done on a pretty crazy timeline, but I'm actually starting to be afraid that my goal of ordering calendars from the printer by October 15 might not work out. :( I knew I was setting a high bar for myself with this project, but I think a combination of optimism and extreme expectations for myself blinded me to just how high it was.
ANYWAY. Nothing to be done about it now. All I can do is do my best, push deadlines if I need to, and start earlier next year. Thanks for being patient with me as I continue to overcommit myself, and thank you all for how kind and forgiving you are to me — even when I can't be that forgiving to myself. You're all lovely humans. <3

Even if you have to push deadlines, these will be still some of the most profoundly wonderful works anyone could ever hope to achieve! Don't stress, just take each individual task as it comes, and they will get done when they are ready. It is always a safe bet that everyone has absolute faith in you, and we will wait whatever time it takes, to see what awesome things you create!! From what we've seen this far, it is going to be an absolutely phenomenal work!
