Sometimes, I see people going to cons, and they’ll post like Friday afternoon, “On my way now!"  And I always think, "What?!  Why so late!?  OMG YOU SHOULD BE THERE AT LIKE 8 AM!”

Then I realize… not everyone has an artist alley table who needs to pack, get to the con before the sun rises to get registered, get set up, and all that jazz.  Some people actually go to cons for like… fun?

So the year is almost up and next year we have big convention plans.  This means we’ll be making lots of fun things, like mini plushies, and clocks, and coasters.  Taking suggestions on what series to make things from  :)  We’re starting now, because a lot of conventions are back to back and we need to have items ready  ^^

Just in case you need a reminder, here’s a selection of our wares:  Etsy and Storenvy

Any thoughts?

My partner and I haven’t been to ACEN in years, and have never gone as artists – always attendants.  But next year, we get to go as artists!

I managed to get in in time to get us a table when it opened (which was like, a 15 minute window).  So if you’re planning on going to the biggest anime con in the Midwest next year, I’ll be there with a table yay!

Going to bed early and then taking off to Anime Iowa.  We’ll be hitting the road tomorrow and getting there sometime in the afternoon.  If you’re going to this con, please feel free to swing by our table “Sewn Together Reflections.”  If you’re looking for me, I’ll be cosplaying Tiana from Princess and the Frog, and also cosplay Belle from Beauty and the Beast  :)

Expect to see lots of ponies, persona, Kuroshitsuji, Fate/Zero, mini plushies, coasters, buttons, wineglasses, Puus, Naoto hats… just, lots of THINGS at our booth  ^^  I’ll have pictures, of course, because I think this is the most I’ve ever made for a con.

Will you be at AI this weekend?
