drag path
My pictures for today’s post are taking forever to upload. So I’ll start with the things I already have uploaded – more new photoshoot pics! MoM Scarlet Witch: Queen Amidala Disneybound: I took pics with the ears and without the ears so you could see the little “fan” of hair I did at the top to kinda replicate the hairstyle…

terminal enchantment
Hey I actually have costume content to post today!! Finished my new MoM Wanda skirt: Version 1 spoonflower fabric to the left, version 2 knitorious fabric version to the right. Not super happy with my gradient dyeing here but oh well, it is what it is. After seeing it on I think I need to bring the gradient at the…

boy oh boy
Do I have a lot to post about today! Well back over the summer I decided I did not want to be home for Thanksgiving. I looked around for cities that we could road trip to that we hadn’t done before, and decided Asheville NC fit the ticket. My parents decided to come with us too! So we booked an…

goodness knows
Well I would say last Monday my anxiety over the job thing was at a 5/10. On Thursday it shot up to a 10/10 and on Friday I had to ask Chase for one of his anxiety med pills. Which then made me feel hungover all day Saturday. I also had a migraine all weekend, probably from the stress –…

what a glorious morning
Well, what a crap start to the day. My company is axing our division. Winding down ops in February. Only good news is that the company does want to keep me and move me to another division, so I’m still employed, but sick to my stomach anyway rn. Also I have no pics of interest to post this week, it’s…

Hey guess what! Last week I said I’d love to have the skirt motifs done by the time I’m writing this week’s blog post. I ALMOST MADE IT!! I’m on the last one and I’ll have it finished today! YAY! Then I have to do the thing I’m dreading the remove the shoulder wrap from the top and do the…

anything can happen on halloween
Another Halloween in the books. Wednesday I picked up Kevin after work – his mom (and my parents!) was on vacation so it worked out for him to come stay with us a few days. Thursday as soon as I was off work started getting him and myself ready for Spooky Science. He wore ceremonial Luke and I wore ceremonial…

the deep clean
The deep clean of the sewing room is almost done! I finally got to vacuum which I’d really been looking forward to it, and I brought the carpet cleaner up to try to get out some stains. Worked great on some and not on others. I’d like to get one of those bigger cleaners and do the whole room one…

im married to the hustle
I was starting to wonder if I’d be able to post today with the AWS outage – couldn’t upload anything to my photo server. But seems to be working now so let’s get on with it. Been mostly focusing on finishing my sewing room clean-up. Is it done? No because there is SO MUCH to do. I can’t remember if…

a blue rose case
Since I posted on Wednesday I really only have the weekend to talk about here. Friday Ash and Gabe picked me up after work so we could meet Chase downtown (easier for him to go there straight from work) to go to the Monster Market opening night! I wore Diane, because where the hell else am I ever going to…

im not a bad witch
It’s the rare midweek post! I have important stuff to share! First, my Scarlet Witch pics from Sunday! This was me on the sidewalk just waiting on Chase to get the camera out and ready and he said “hold that” LOL A crop of this is my new pfp pretty much everywhere. What’s funny is that this spot is the…

the life of a showgirl
Everything’s a mess right now. The kitchen’s a mess, my sewing room’s a mess, work’s a mess, my life’s a mess. I did get Halloween partially out yesterday so that’s a win. And when I was getting my Wanda stuff out for the event yesterday, I did kinda organize the piles of costume stuff in my sewing room. I had…

ptsd on the daily
I still have nothing to post this week LOL Things I did accomplish this past week – I added some darker reds to my Wanda wig and ran the steamer over it to loosen up the curls. On the fence as to whether or not I want to completely recurl it. Guess I need to try it on and see.…

what’s going on??
I successfully navigated my birthday weekend without getting a single “happy birthday” on social media LOL. I didn’t set out to do that, but the night before my birthday I was like… y’know what, I’m going to hide my birthday on facebook. It’s not that I don’t appreciate people saying happy birthday there – it’s just a little overwhelming and…

driven mad
I’m slowly being driven mad by our neighbor’s dog. I think I’ve complained about it here before, but it’s the people behind us and one house over. They had been SO MUCH better about not leaving the dog out the last couple of months, and now this past week, he’s been left out for hours every single week day. He’s…

State of the Union

Belle ballgown version 3 I need better pics of this more than my other dcon costumes – but I want to do the embroider first. Going to start looking at it this weekend. 2. Padme (Taylor’s…

I may not be in the best mental place to be writing this but I need to do it before I forget everything. 24th Dragoncon is done and in the books. We left before dawn Tuesday morning. Before After Parents first time at Bucee’s! Check-in was smooth. The news of Taylor and Travis’ engagement broke just as we were pulling…

Hey look I’m in good enough shape to be posting on my day off! Let’s just go through every project one by one. The Trois: Deanna has been done and partially packed. I did not try the whole thing on together so it’ll be a FUN SURPRISE to even me at Dragoncon. Lwaxana is finished, mom came over and we…
