Bookfair Leipzig - part 2
And on it goes...
On Saturday, Thym and I woke up at six in the morning (rather, my alarmer rang at six, I lay awake long before x.x ) to go to the showers while no-one else was there and we had plenty of warm water^^ After it we went back to bed to sleep another one or two hours XD After that we all got dressed very slow, so we were late at the fairground and had to wait to go to the parking lots... The line in front of them ended on the autobahn. Waiting in the line was really really peeving...
After we got into the first buildig, I lost the others, and one of those security-guys won't let me go any further with my hammer - so I had to leave it in the cloakroom q.q Well, after I made it to hall 2 (where the manga- and anime-area was) I was glad about it. It was more overcrowded than last year. There were more people than last year, and even though the stage for the cosplay-competition and the performances was in hall 2 (instead of the CCL like last year), there wasn't more space given for it all. The salesarea was so extreme crowded, you wasn't able to go through it. I didn't even try to go shopping, but stayed in the "Chillout-area". Half of the Manga-area was separated from the rest by walls, in there it was much more quiet and less crowded. And the stage was in there so it was dark in there - lots of people complained about the salesarea being too crowded and the chillout-area being too dark for taking good pictures.
After taking a first look on it all, it was nearly time for my first meetup. I had two meetups at the same time (both 14:00 at different places), and went first to the NuS-meetup. It was nice to meet those I've known from last year, and even though meet new people. And I got scolded because Lavis jacket isn't neated XD And Anju told me about making a corset being a totally easy thing, so now I want to sew one...
After that I went to the DGM-meetup. I won't tell much about it, but it was totally fun. Whenever there is a DGM-meetup at a Con I am, I'll go there as Lavi, no matter which Cosplay was planned originally. I had the chance to meet a lot of really nice people. First, there was one of the Linalis, who I got to know as Eliade at the Chisaii. I was happy to see you again^^ Second, I was able to meet my second Kanda. We met on the internet shortly before, but I really like her^^ Third, I found a totally cute Allen - I had to hug her the moment I saw her. And only a little later I adopted her XD Fourth, there were all those other Lavis. A group of Lavi together is really really funny XD I stayed with a few of the others till the fair endet, and was (again) too late for our departure...
Back at the hostel I wanted to finish Dratini - and hat to detect that the cable of my sewing machine was missing -.- So I started handsewing tail and obi, and got help from Zwerg - thanks again!

Bookfair Leipzig - part 1
Yeah, it's a little late to write about the LBM, but well, who cares XD I was to tired (or to lazy) for writing earlier...
First I have to admit my "Sewing against the cherry blossoms"-project failed. The first two blossoms bloomed while I was visiting Thym, and after that the branches were dead o.Ò And I didn't manage to finish sewing to any degree...
Our tour started on Friday - a little late cause I came late from work and had to pack my stuff. We met at the Loewe-Center and buyed our breakfast and something to drink there. Well, I myself forgot buying breakfast..
We traveled with two cars, Thym and me driving. Thym had told me we wanted to take the autobahn, so I searched my driving route according to this. Thyms navigational.. thing.. led her over the country roads, so we had no idea where they were. Till I got a call they are somewhere, they didn't know exactly where and where they should go to get back on their way to Halle (we slept in Halle, not Leipzig). Well, after all there were ahead of us.. So we met on a resting place, talked a bit - and when we wanted to go on, Thyms car decided on dying. We tried to fix it by ourselves (and failed), got help from two nice truckdrivers, but nothing helped. So we decided on me (and the others in my car) driving ahead for check-in.
I hate Halle! It's confusing as hell, half of the streets (particularly the main streets) are one-ways, and they have multi-track roundabouts with traffic lights... I've gone crazy over it that night! When I finally managed to drop Mareju and miku at the hostel and find a charge-free parking lot, Thym and the otheres were already in Halle. Well, like that we were able to lead them to the parking lot...
The hostel was nice, all of us girls in one room.Do I have to mention it was messy about quarter-hour after our arrival?

Fight against the cherry blossoms - Day4+5
Urgh. Last two days I did nearly anything... I marked and cut a part of the fabric yesterday. But apart from that... Well. Today I slept most of the time. Half because I was tired. And half because I didn't want to play with my mothers godchild XP
Oh, and my cherries buds have become green at the top.
(And I forgot again to post instead of saving XD" )

Sewing against the cherry blossoms - Day3
Well, I did nothing today. Came home from work really late, and mom hadn't ironed my fabric (a few minutes ago she told me she hadn't been in the mood to iron o.Ò). And because of babysitting I havn't had the time to start another try on ironing it by myself. So today really was a day without results...
Oh, but I think the peaks of the buds on my cherries have become lighter.

Sewing against the cherry blossoms - Day2
Haaah.. I hate it. I couldn't do anything on Dratini, though I had enough time. But before I can start cutting the fabric (you really don't need a pattern for kimono/yukata), I have to iron it - and that's the point, our iron hates me. It doesn't work no matter what I'm doing. So I'll have to wait for my mam ironing it tomorrow... But I started calculating how to cut it. So perhaps I can start with sewing toorrow. If not (if my sis seys it's to late and sewing is too noisy when I'm back from babysitting), I'll start on thursday. I hope I'll be able to finish sewing the yukata the weekend.
Well, pictures. First, whole thing (only because of the cat in there XD), then one branch (with cats ass). And after that the fabric.

Sewing against the cherry blossoms - Day1
Well, I'm now start a little experiment. Or rather, I'll combine two things I want/have to do.
I wanted to have cherry blossoms in my room, and I'll have to do my Dratini cosplay before LBM.
So this evening I cut off two branches of our neighbourghs cherry tree. I put them in water and now I'll take photos every morning and evening and post them here. I'm doing this following the tradition of so called "barbara trees". As a result from what I read the first blossoms should bloom in about three weeks. That means for me I have three weeks for Dratini. Leaves one week for Lavis trousers who have to be done as well till LBM... But I'll do it!
Parallel to cutting the branches I washed all the fabric I buyed for Dratini on saturday. The white fabric is dry already, the blue one will be in an hour, so I'll post the pictures here tomorrow. (And now I'll go and continue working on the update about the last weeks)
See, pictures. First the whole thing, after that both single branches.
