Swords to Plowshares
Apr. 30th, 2009 01:28 pmOr in this case, cosplay to housewares.
With it raining pretty much all week in Dallas, I'm back in Austin for the week (and probably this weekend). I've got enough hours that I don't have to go in to the office to work so I'm staying at home and keeping myself busy with all sorts of little projects. Organizing stuff, throwing out cosplay stuff that won't be re-used (Pyramid Head and Hrist, for example). I re-purposed the material I'd bought for the Wybie cosplay and the hoops from the Catbus to build some cat-curtains (curtains that allow the cat to look out the window but prevents people from looking in). I am starting to consider throwing away the Catbus entirely. I know I've sunk a few hundred dollars into it, but I wouldn't be able to continue working on it until next year at the earliest and there would be no guarantee we would have enough room to store a cosplay that big. I started Catbus two apartments ago, when I had a lot more space to commit to it. It seems that Catbus has outgrown it's home and as much as I dislike it, I may have to cut my losses now, rather than try to see it through.
