I still can't completely decide what to take to Momocon. So thinking "outloud" here. I'm definitely taking Meg, since it's new and I should have it done in the next couple of weeks.

I got the lining and most of the dress cut Sunday: I reaalllly like the fabric I got for the base dress and I'm kinda sad it's basically going to be covered up. Maybe I can figure out a way to leave the skirt uncovered. Anyway - I got the ...
Booked our Marriott room for Dragoncon 2014 way too easily this morning. Am extremely suspicious.
