I've always been a huge nerd, and I tend to get a lot of laughs about it. I guess that wasn't enough to keep my mild insanity out of my parenting (haha!). I went to my first convention last summer (HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC) and opted to dress for comfort rather than come up with a "LOOK AT ME" outfit or even a geeky t-shirt. I mean, you're basically walking around a confusing maze of vendor and artist tables and trying to decide which panels, if any, to rush to. All of this with nary a bench to rest on. But anyway. Now that I have a baby, things have changed. I have a tiny human that I can dress up with no complaint from them and babies are always guaranteed to gain a few "ooohs" and "ahhhs". I gave Zooey's first con outfit a lot of consideration, and after a while settled on one.
Adventure time with Fionna and Cake! Since I've heard Fionna many times described as "chubby cute" this is the perfect fit for my little ball of flub. (Oh my gosh, wow. I mean that in a really affectionate way, I swear.) I've started drafting a pattern for the hat and sketching out/making plans for her crystal sword. The only problem I can forsee at this point is deciding whether to make or simply buy a Cake plush for her to tote around (and throw on the floor a billion times).
I posted this mostly to keep myself accountable. I've posted it on the internet. People have seen it. Now I have to follow through. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted as I complete different parts of my crazy little project! :)
