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 ...

it’s the 2024 costume wrap-up post

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)

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.

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 ...

hello darkness my old friend

Hi Again. I finished the Shin cloak. Got all the costumes pulled for the first 2 shoots. Went to iron Mara and discovered the back hem was pinned up about an inch with 3 pins (all on the inside.) So I guess I wore it like that at Dragoncon and didn't notice when I steamed it. It looks like I was going to shorten the center back but forgot and just closed ...
