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 ...

It's now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we'd have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what'd I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don't know, and I don't give a shit at this point. More Taylor boot ...

I started stoning the boots last week: End of Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: You can't tell in the Friday photo but the stones go all around the foot area up around the ankle on the ...
oh hi. It's getting close to panic time for dragoncon. A while back Jess made a comment about my the Taylor Swift game mastermind in relation to my dragoncon line-up - so I had to do my dragoncon line up that way: Those 10 are pretty much confirmed. Left off the 2 unconfirmed for now. Here's where we stand at the moment: 1. Seven of Nine with her updates from December I need ...
So for the past few months, Luna has decided her sleeping spot is my underbed storage container. It's soft-sided thing from ikea and I keep like my swimsuits and tights and stuff I don't need often in it, and I left it unzipped and she claimed it. She's always gone through phases of where she sleeps, she'll sleep in her cat condo for a month, then the back of the ...
Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I'm officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon costumes. Let's recap! Tatooine Padme: First up, I finally bit the bullet ...
