So I sadly still haven't been up to much besides school.  Since all of my courses are full year I'm starting to get a bit bored of the classes in general.  Luckily and Unluckily i only have a few big assignments left including a group project that I'm steering my way because no one else in the group wants to offer up any ideas or plans.

So I've started Claus's flight suit for my boyfriend, unsure when they'll be done since I leave my sewing stuff at my parents so I'm able to focus on my school work.
I've also been working on my secret costume, but its a secret so that's as much as you get!
