Birthday Blog: My Fav Costumes of 1998-2002

This week the theme for my Birthday Blog posts is costumes! There's a ton of posts to go through for this week, so let's get to it. October 25, 1998 - WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HALLOWEEN COSTUMES In 1998 I kinda threw together a last minute costume for Halloween - I'll get to that in a minute - but while I was thinking about it I decided to think about what I wanted ...

Tinkerbell and a 3 day weekend

I took Friday off so I could sew, guess how much sew I got done?! (Hint: not a lot. At least not that day.) I bummed around all morning, then went to Hobby Lobby because I needed a new roll of paper for making patterns. Then I was done earlier than expected, but I'd ordered my lunch online set for 11:30... so I had a little time to kill. Went by ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2011-2017

So now we are entering the "modern" era of my artwork. And I've actually been producing quite a bit more the past few years than I did in 2005-2009... it just took a bit to get there. I produced absolutely no art whatsoever in 2014, only year for that to happen... February 28, 2011 - ART POST: DOCTOR WHO I doodled this for Chase for a valentine's Day card - the original was ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2005-2010

So... yeah... my art output really dropped off through 2004 and then even worse into 2005. Let's see what I can even find to post.

It’s not a big post, but it’s a good one

I've been down with a migraine since tuesday... which especially sucks because I'm working overtime this week so I can be off friday so my work days are extra long. I basically come home from work, eat, have a bath, and go to bed at like 9 because I'm so tired from the migraine. Hopefully it goes away today. Tuesday we got more snow. More snow than ice this time! While ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2000-2001

So now we move onto my favourite art of 2000 and 2001 -- this post covers the smallest amount of time I'll be doing this week, because there was SO MUCH ART these two years. At this point I had 2 issues of SunDowner under my belt and finally felt like I was getting comfortable in my drawing style - and I was on the verge of getting into Harry Potter so these 2 ...

A Non-Birthday Blog Post

It's been a bit since I did a regular post! I've been concentrating on getting the birthday blog posts up and going. So let me pick up since the last post. Chase and I split an amazon gift card from Christmas and I got this: Oh yes. It's good. And we got a lion hat for Luna. She hates it. But at least she enjoys it as a toy (she ...

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 1997-1999

This week for my Birthday Blog Bash, I'm going to be featuring some of my favourite art from over the years. Considering my site really got its start as my art portfolio (before moving into costuming), there's a LOT to cover in the earlier years. So this post will cover the earliest -- 1997 through 1999. Obviously I have no posts from 1997, since that was the era of my AOL webpage and ...
