Today I'm going to share some of my favourite posts and memories from the earliest years of my blog. (This doesn't strictly include or exclude art or costume posts - sometimes they interconnect, but posts specifically about art or costumes will be covered in the next 2 weeks.) As I mentioned in my first post about my blog's 20th birthday, I first started "blogging" on my site just by creating an ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WEBSITE/BLOG!!!! So I don't know the exact date I started my website -- I first started a site in 1997 on aol sometime in 1997. (I have notes saying it was January 1997 but I'm not sure how accurate that is!) Sadly I don't have any of those old files or screenshots of that first version of my site. What I do know is in January 1998, I moved ...
GUESS WHAT! My blog is 20 years old now. It's in college. My earliest blog posts were late 97/early 98 and the oldest post I was able to track down to reupload was from January 8, 1998. I think next week I will do a big post about it for its birthday! So anyway, this weekend was rather lazy. Mostly because it was SO cold. Like seriously it was in single digits?! It's never ...
Art by Chiara Bautista Indy - 1997-2014 A piece of me lives in the stars now.
Ok so Chase got me Sims 4: Pets for for Christmas! He surprised me with it early, and then since they were on for 50% on Origin, I went ahead and got Get to Work, too. So now I have all of the Sims 4 expansions. Fun. So I wanted to make a new family so I could make pets to go with them. I started with a cat named Drake and a ...
Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start... We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little boy came up to me and said, "I love your outfit!" And ...
Site updates: Patreon Print Store is live. I been waffling about where to list all of my costume/art prints I've been saying I'm going to list for ages. And then it was finding the time to individually list them all. But then I realized, hey I need stuff for my new patreon. Let's just make them all a patreon reward and then I don't have to list them anywhere. ...
It's that time of the year again... time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn't get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did I?! Not really. I redid the wig, twice - once for Visioncon, and ...
Those of you who don't like stories about my stupid Sims games, abandon ship now! So I started my game with a young man named Meow Lover. Obviously Meow Lover loves cats - but he doesn't have one because I don't have the Pets expansion yet. Instead, he expresses his appreciation for cats through his job in social media - he was a "Cat Video Creator" at his social media ...
Friday was busy!! So Wednesday last week I pulled out Belle to double check everything - it needed some roses replaced and some of the appliques sewn back on. And I needed to restyle the wig since I took it down for Dorothy. Then Friday I came straight home from work and started getting ready. I experimented a little bit - I actually wore both my panniers and my round ...
