Day 10... Another work day with my mom

   Today I grabbed my unfinished hats and Loot bags and went over to my parents' house. My mom finished putting the linings together for the Loot bags and came up with the brilliant idea of using paint pens to do the detail work on said bags. A big thank you to Justin for going out and buying the paint pens for me while he was on his way over to check out what my mom and I were up too. The pens will definitely make the detail work go much faster than hand painting them like I did on the very first Loot bag. Right now only one Loot bag is done and the others have been partially painted. Once they're all painted the linings can go in and the bags will be done. 
   Can I just say that I have an awesome mom, she knows this whole MAGFest thing is really important to me and is helping me to finish up the last bits and pieces of the product that has yet to be completed. Even my Grandma joined in by helping to stitch some of the hatbands on the Link hats that need to be done. Tomorrow my mom will be continuing work on the Loot bags and Link hats while I'm at Christmastown in Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Justin's family is taking us and I'm super excited to go but also freaking out about losing a day of work. My mom however has offered to help get things done and told me to not stress out about it and enjoy the day. I owe her big time, I don't know if she understands how much I appreciate her help. I want this MAGFest thing to be successful and in order for that to happen all my product needs to get done. Perhaps I'll have to take her out for a fancy dinner or something after MAGFest is over, she'd probably like that. Anyway after tomorrow there's only three days till MAGFest and I still have ears and tails to finish, not to mention the Loot bags and Link hats that need to get done. While I'm still feeling the stress, the help my mom is giving me easing it a bit and helping to bring back my excitement for this opportunity. The deadline is getting nail-bitingly close, here's hoping all the painting and sewing machine required stuff gets done before then. Luckily its easy for me to bring needle and thread to finish up ears, tails and Link hats while at MAGFest. I promise to post more pictures of finished product, when it gets finished.
