HSV Expo Wrap-up
SORRY it’s taken me so long to get this posted! Work has been crazy and I had a lot of pics to upload between my phone, Chase’s phone and Chase’s real camera and I wanted to wait til I had them all. On Wednesday night last week we picked up Kevin. I had Thursday off and Chase was working a…

I was off Friday, did I get much done? Not really, but I have accomplished a bit. I was hampered by sinus mess that came on with a sinus headache, which my migraine meds don’t work on — until it BECOMES a migraine a day later and then I can start taking imitrex LOL I do not know why it…

the tomb of doom
I actually did make some good headway on sewing this week, but I don’t have a lot to show for it. I put the skirt on pause until I can think about it a little more. I decided to move onto the bodice base instead. I pulled out that old Simplicity look-a-like pattern for the picnic dress, and cut the…

I still don’t have much to talk about this week LOL Tuesday we went to see Project Hail Mary with my parents. I went into it knowing nothing about except Ryan Gosling in a fox sweater, space, and a creature of some sort named Rocky. I loved it! Now I want to read the book – but I’m in the…

hsv expo planning
We’re coming back to HSV Expo this year and since it’s coming up fast… I really need to figure out what costumes I’m bringing. Kevin is bringing his casual Star Lord bound he didn’t get to wear at disney and he requested farmboy Luke. Dunno what Chase is bringing. So after a lot of thought here’s what I’m thinking of…

I don’t have a lot to talk about this week. This past week has been vacation recovery. The couch has been my homebase. Kevin’s still not feeling good. I’ve gone over to check on him several times and facetime him a couple of times a day to walk him through taking medicine. Everytime I ask if he wants to come…

sorry for party rockin
We are back from LA! And exhausted! We hit the ground boots running and never stopped until we were on our own couch last night – where we passed out right after dinner. So let’s start with Tuesday, when I picked up Kevin and the last of his stuff to pack and brought him over to our house for the…

great scott
So first off – I finished the dress and I’m much happier with it now. I removed a ton of excess fabric around that front sleeve seam – both from the sleeve and the front panels. There’s still some gathering in the back, but I basically removed it all from the front. It doesn’t look so top heavy on me…

crash out
Yesterday was the day of reckoning for the new disneybound Leia dress. But first, let’s rewind and talk about the rest of the week. First shipment of fabric came in for picnic Padme. I definitely did not get enough but at least I got a coupon I can use to buy some more. Finished painting the buttons and got them…

ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Well as I left off last week, all I needed to do on my new disneybound Leia was to sew the buttons on. And then Saturday morning around 4am I crashed out. Mostly over the belt. I just felt like it was too tall on me and the proportions just were not right. So Saturday morning I dug around on…

i am a material girl
February is flying by. I can’t believe it’s halfway over. Which is nice because normally this time of the year drags. Finished the Lake Tahoe puzzle. This one was fun. I got a new one, same kind as the Jane Austen one – Oscar Wilde this time. It’s a little harder because there’s more areas that look the same. And…

it never rains in california
Another Monday at work and work continues to be a source of anxiety – I had a dream one night last week where my whole family had gone to Paris and as we were leaving, like getting into the security line at the airport, I remembered we’d brought Luna with us and we’d forgotten her at the hotel. So we…

its been 84 years…
We’re on day 4,528 of being iced in. It’s all solid ice. It’s snow. No kids have been out making snowmen or having snowball fights in this – if you threw a chunk of this at somebody’s head, you’d kill them, it’s like throwing a brick. Hasn’t really stopped us from getting out and about as needed though, Chase’s car…

a sad sack
Well obviously, if you’re a regular to my site, the biggest news is that I’ve set up a new wordpress theme! It was a hard fought battle but overall I’m pretty happy with it. Lots of changes to get used to. Originally, I had bought a different theme. $60. And I ended up hating it. I was so frustrated –…

i can go the distance
What a weird week! Let’s start off with the new photoshoot pics first. New Padme lake dress pics! I restyled the wig for this. It was a pain in the butt. But worth it. I do need to fix a couple of things before I take this to dragoncon this year – first, I did make it a little too…

hello world
I do at least have some new photoshoot stuff to post today, but other than that, not a lot. Thursday was the funeral. Kevin looking dapper. Mama Gin and Papa It was a long day. We had to be there at 11:30 and we weren’t done with everything til about 3. And my stupid ass didn’t eat anything beforehand, no…

the pit of despair
Being back at work after being off for 2 weeks suuuuuucks. Also my mental health is currently being completely propped up by a trip we are planning this spring. Thank goodness for that. What have I done the past week? Not much. I did start taking Christmas down yesterday, so that’s something. We did some more photoshoots, which I’ll talk…

it’s the 2025 costume wrap-up post
At long last! I’m posting this way later than I normally do! But I was waiting on the last of my white backdrop pics of stuff from this year. Ok, so let’s start off with reviewing what I said I was going to make in 2025 in December 2024: 1. MoM Scarlet Witch – YES! Finally buckled down and used…

we’ll muddle through
Well that was a… Christmas I guess. My grandma “Mama Gin” passed away Christmas morning. She had just turned 99 in October. It’s a complicated thing; I’m sad, but also I feel like I’ve already been grieving her for years? Her dementia and physical health has been really bad for the last few years. And we knew this was coming;…

im freeeeee
For 2 weeks at least. For 2 weeks I don’t have to worry about work. I stabbed myself on the side of my thumb like right next to the nail with a pin saturday and it’s making it really hard to type on a normal keyboard, but I will persevere. Ok first up, more white backdrop pics! Here’s a couple…
