PHEW... more calendar costumes. (Patreon)

I was doing pretty well there for about a month, but I've definitely been dragging my feet getting back to these costumes since DragonCon, and I still have FIVE LEFT blegh.

Still remaining: Ygritte, Septa Unella, Margaery, Yara, and Ellaria. The common thread between most of these costumes is that they're less straightforward. That is, I can't just blindly follow a commercial pattern for most of them. 

I really wanted to have all these done and shot by October 1, but with Spa-Con coming up this weekend, I just... am doubtful. I'm probably going to miss this deadline just like I missed the first one I set.

I'm used to pushing myself to get things done on a pretty crazy timeline, but I'm actually starting to be afraid that my goal of ordering calendars from the printer by October 15 might not work out. :( I knew I was setting a high bar for myself with this project, but I think a combination of optimism and extreme expectations for myself blinded me to just how high it was.

ANYWAY. Nothing to be done about it now. All I can do is do my best, push deadlines if I need to, and start earlier next year. Thanks for being patient with me as I continue to overcommit myself, and thank you all for how kind and forgiving you are to me — even when I can't be that forgiving to myself. You're all lovely humans. <3
