Oh, this costume.  It took me more than a year to make it, primarily because I kept covering my ears, shutting my eyes, and singing, "Lalalalala!  Not going to do it!!"  Once I lose ambition to make a costume, it's very hard for me to get back into it.  I don't have anyone to sew with, so once my motivation leaves, it tends to be gone for a while.  But I finally finished it!  I also threw it away because it was so crap.  Oh well.
