    hooked on a feeling

    Today I have the last bit of photoshoot stuff to post! And I’ll also say the website is fully updated, 2020 projects added, new photos added (except Hera, she was the last set, I’ll get her added soon.) Hera photos! Very happy with these. Padme nightgown shots! I did some with and some without the baby bump. I like the…

    a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it

    Like seriously I don’t have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend… I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn’t get to do that because… oh wait. Did I ever mention…

    Dragoncon 2019 Wrap-Up

    It’s my favourite post of the year! The post where I get to recap Dragoncon and post all my fav pics. So Wednesday I went into work early so I could leave early (2), which ended up not being necessary… I’d pretty much gotten everything packed Tuesday night and all I really had left was stuff like my toothbrush, medicine,…

    risk category 5

    We are officially in risk category 5, but I have achieved my state of clear. Everything is pretty much done at this point. Now it’s just struggling thru half this week at work until I can set my out of office and I’m on the road. Friday afternoon I got my hairs re-redded. And brows waxed. Slowly emerging from the…

    who was phone

    Well. Chase was feeling a lot better last week. Was able to go to my cousin’s wedding reception Friday night (he just stayed in a wheelchair), Saturday he was able to walk around and do his own stuff and and even came upstairs once, and that afternoon drove my car to Hobby Lobby (he stayed in the car while I…

    that’s enough for me

    Yes I’m posting on a Friday, the world has gone mad. Nah we’re just in THREAT LEVEL DRAGONCON so I thought I’d do an extra update. First, Ash and I had a good time in Nashville. Today’s post title thanks to this wonderful album cover we saw at Great Escape. We had time to run around a bit before the…

    Dragoncon State of the Union: August Edition

    I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday’s post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I’m going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the…

    weird & wacky

    When you have so few pics for today’s post that you don’t even have a good one for a header… So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don’t actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher – I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets…

    more than a feeling

    I don’t have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they’re not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for…

    MEH

    So to conclude the saga of the artist who won’t send out the stuff I bought from him… doing a chargeback with our bank today. Disappointing to say the least. So let’s see, what have I done the past week? It took me a few days to recover from ABC so last week I didn’t get a ton done. Started…

    oh my

    what a busy weekend. My whole body hurts and I don’t know why! So to back up. Didn’t get a whole lot of sewing stuff done last week, was still working on the house. But I did get my fabric for Hera on Monday…. Ummmm not an immediate love here. I set it out and decided to just think about…
