This year’s summary looks quite humble compared to previous ones 😅 I worked overhours for the whole summer so I could spend more money on my 3 weeks vacation in the US in October 😊 So I didn’t have any time for cosplay. When we came back I immediately slipped into my annual winter rest and I’m not doing anything cosplay-related until March 😅
Anyway it was a great year! I did “only” 11 photo shoots (3 out of them happened on the same day, in the same cosplay lol), but I’m super happy I could share these few moments with friends and some of my favorite photographers 😊
I went to 5 conventions, which is quite a lot considering the fact that for the past few years I attended only 1-2 per year! And I even wore a cosplay at cons TWICE!!! In the previous years it was one time per year maximum, sometimes even none 😂
I made 1.5 new cosplays: Cleo from Monster High and Millie from Helluva Boss. I’d like to make proper hooves for Millie and also some props, so I’m counting her only as a half. Some cosplays I’ve bought earlier and only took them to photo shoots this year. Some were partly finished and this year I managed to complete them. So only Millie and Cleo were started and finished this year!
As for the 2025 resolutions – well, as usually, I’ve got more ideas than Time&Energy&Money™ 😅 I’d like to finish cosplays I started making this year, like Darcy and Bloom from Winx, Polly from Monster Prom, Barbie Anneliese, Velvette from Hazbin Hotel, Heather from Silent Hill… probably some more I forgot about right now… I also really miss crafting armor, so I’d be super happy if I could squeeze in an armor project 🥺 I also have some cosplays I’ve bought earlier, waiting for props or wigs, so it’d be great if they got proper photo shoots this year!
Apart from that I also have a dream to remake Jaina from World of Warcraft. I cosplayed her for the first time in 2015 and it’d be something really cool to make this costume again 10 years later!
But as usually, I don’t promise anything or making my plans something super serious! Cosplay is supposed to bring me joy, so I’m definitely not going to stress over my unrealistic deadlines and cosplans 😂
Anyway, not to make this too long, 2024 for me was an incredible year and I’m looking forward to 2025 adventures!
