it’s rat time

Remember how last week I said we were finally done with white backdrop shoots? Well I lied. Chase used a different camera for the last 2 shoots (Jedi Leia and Boushh) and when I got the shots back they just looked too different than every other white backdrop shoot; I looked back lit. Which was a bummer because i really liked some of the photos especially the ones where Luna crashed ...

Speaking of, here's a recap of the photoshoot pics I've uploaded since the last post. First up, She-Ra: I'm actually ...

so long 2024

and don't let the door hit you on the way out So let's see what has happened since Thursday... Finished my new T'Lyn wig. It is VERY difficult to get on with the headband and ears all crowded up in the same area, but with Chase's help it works. I really just need some ear tips for Vulcan/Elf costumes that literally just fit on the very end of my ...

The BigAss Christmas Post

OMG it took me forever to upload all the pics I needed to since the last post. Let me just go through everything from the beginning. We have not been able to keep Santa upright this year. Too much rain I guess, his stakes won't stay in the ground and he falls over. Poor guy. I forgot to put this Kelce patch IN Ash's present so I taped it to ...

Finally! Ok as usual let's start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did: 1. Honeymoon Leia - YES! This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023. 2. Star Wars Cruise Dress - YES! Turned out so cute! 3. Baylan and Shin - YES! Though I still need to drag Chase in front ...

White Backdrop To-Do (or To-Don’t)

Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here's a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but you can read along too if you're really curious. Things ...

This is why I try not to skip weeks LOL Friday night 2 weeks ago at 1am Chase was having a pain in his midsection and ended up doing a teledoc appt and the teledoc told him to go to the ER. So we went and sat in the ER ...

word vomit

Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin's dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It's a lot. I got a new friend. Luna is not impressed. Chase discovered a Chip and Dale tree ...
