wild & free teen angst morning

That's my spotify daylist playlist this morning LOL "You listened to pop and delicate in the morning. Here's some teen angst, teen rock, brat autumn, wild & free, do it for the plot, and teen pop." I had some weird dreams last night. I dreamt I was at the Hyatt at Dragoncon (only dragoncon in my head though, it didn't actually look like the hyatt) and my costumes were spread ...

worldwide epiphany

Did I sew this week? LOL NO I do have a little sewing project I need to get started on this week that is not Shin or Baylan capes, so I'll probably at least get everything back in the attic space and look over my fabric remnants to see if I've got enough to do it or if I need to go shopping. So Chase and I have made some ...

old cardigan

Here I am again with nothing important to talk about or show. I also did not go in my sewing room at all in the last week, not even to clean up the attic stuff. So now I've got 4 weeks to finish these capes. Which is do-able but I wanted to get an early start, ah well. Finish is the wrong word for Baylan's cape - correct for my Shin ...

would’ve could’ve should’ve

Oh hi, I don't have a lot to talk about this week, except that it was my birthday. Nana brought me balloons!! Chase got me the folklore vinyl and the Pat McGrath Taylor Made Lip kit (I used it friday night, it's sooo nice, it might actually be the catalyst for me to finalllly throw away my ancient tube of Mac Russian Red and switch to this as my go-to ...

art dump post

Going through and updating the site this week and I realized I didn't have all of my recent art uploaded, so this is a catch-up art post. First up, i did post some of the Star Trek pieces I did earlier this year, but I didn't post all of them. Basically I'd just draw some star trek characters in the evenings while watching tv before bed. There was no rhyme ...

a paperweight in shades of greige

Oh hi Not much to report on this week. I did put parts of Baylan and Shin on the dressforms to take some more pics. Gonna add a few of these to the construction page until I can get more pics of us IN the costumes. Got all of Dragoncon put away. As I was carrying the last bit upstairs (the garment rack) it felt weird, like all this build ...

dragoncon persists

Well I'm back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I'm kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn't do any of it. It was like I only had a finite amount of mental energy, less than usual, and I ...

one day remains

Down to the wire here. The last week has been a roller coaster. I have a new boss. His style is totally spiking my anxiety. 2 meetings today in the midst of trying to get ready to be out of town. I do not think he understand my job/position in the company. I'm going to have to deal with this when I get back. (EDIT: I removed the paragraph about ...

make the friendship bracelets

Whelp here we are about a week out and I am NOT DONE and not even the SLIGHTEST bit packed. Normally this point I've already packed the stuff that's done/older costumes but I haven't even gotten my bin out of the attic yet. I can't even get excited about con because I'm still in panic mode. I spent 3 days last week destroying my right arm to sew this cord ...
