Anthrocon, Friendship, and more!

My Best friend who I met on the internet 5 years ago came down to stay at my place for about three weeks! Today's her last day here and I'm going to miss her dearly. She actually came down so we could take her to AC (Anthrocon The biggest furry convention in the US) I'm so sad to see her go home.

Anthrocon was a blast my mother came down from West Virginia to meet us up in Pittsburgh!
The First day of the con was exciting, we tried to register at the front but mom didn't have a Photo ID on her so she had to go out to back out to the car to get her Licence. After that we went inside and it was pretty huge, bigger than Morphicon 2014, but not as big as the Ohio Comic Con. Here is a part of the convention center

It was so much fun and it was right next to the river so you could go out on the balcony and wave at passing boats and confuse them! 

The Convention was a lot of fun and we got a lot of stuff, I commissioned a few artists for some art and even tail! Here's some of the stuff I got at the convention!

Badges for me and my friends the Deer one and Rat one are mine the rest are for family and friends!

 My amazing rat Tail I got it's so long that I have to wrap it around my body so it doesn't get too dirty

This trip was a major success and I had a lot of fun going through the conventin and panels and meeting a lot of my friends that I've met at the furmeet! I can't wait to see what next years convention will bring and hopefully  by next years Anthrcon I'll be in my amazing fursuit of Leilani!

New Sewing Machine and Furry Fun

Heya everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging much, but I'm gonna be changing that real soon! I hope to write my life through this blog, and I'm sure you guys and gals are gonna enjoy it! I just got back from Rivera Maya, Mexico. I had to go for my cousin Ashley's wedding, it was really pretty down there but everyone got really sick (Except for me hah!) It was fun and a lot of my freckles came out while I was out lounging on a hammock reading Game of Thrones.

But today I got a new sewing machine today, and well.... I'm so frustrated, I've never really done sewing except for a lot of hand sewing projects. I've never worked with a sewing machine before, so if there's any tips and tricks any advice would be appreciated! This is the model I got! The Singer 7528! It got a lot of awards and good reviews so I figured I'd bite the bullet and try it out! I just wish I could figure out how to thread the darn thing >.<

Well anywayI have a few projects I'd like to share with you, as you can tell by my pictures on this blog, I am indeed a Furry, but don't you worry I'm not the.... weird kind :P so I don't bite.... much >:) Anyway I'm making a fursuit with my best friend Kayla and we already purchased the Resin heads and some supplies! Here's what mine looks like! Her name's Ayala and she's a white-tailed deer (Cervine)

 This Awesome Person Made This ! I can't wait to get her! My friend has a Bovine (cow) Character so we purchased her bovine head, and she looks fabulous! Here's hers!

 

Reference Sheet: (no colors yet :c)

I haven't got them yet but She's shipping them out real soon and I just cannot wait! EEK! I get to bring my character to life! So excited! But I have to figure out my sewing machine before anything else since that will be my main way to bring my character to life is by sewing the pieces of fur together... Hopefully my grandmother Mimi, will help me out, since she's a great crafter, writer, and artist! She's coming up tomorrow and I can't wait to see her! She practically raised me as a kid, and I love her with all my heart, ah hem, anyway That's about it for this edition of Lia's Life :P I hope you all have a wonderful day and can continue on! <3
