The Sims: Freddie the Influencer
Ok so on my new laptop Sims is actually blazing fast! So I’ve been playing again. It’s been a while since we had a sims story on the blog, so I thought I’d share this one. I’ve been seeing people on Tiktok do this 1×1 room challenge where you start a sim in just a plain 1×1 square room and…

start walking
Well hi. I do actually have costume updates this week. But first let’s get everything else out of the way. 4.5 weeks post-surgery — I feel like 99.9% normal. Remember just a week ago I said crawling around on my sewing room floor to work on costumes left me sore so I needed to take it slower? Well I did…

i want auroras and sad prose
Guess what? I’m coming at yall live from my new laptop! Chase did try to fix my computer, ordered a new battery, etc. But the writing had already been on the wall for that laptop; it was buggy and super slow, and photoshop did not like it at all, I’d regularly have weird things happening in photoshop because the graphics…

i fell asleep amid the flowers
Well today I am coming at you from Chase’s computer because… my laptop is dead! It was fine all last week, it was fine Friday, I unplugged it Friday night since we had storms coming through. Saturday morning it wouldn’t turn on at all. Chase tried a few things to fix it but nothing worked, so he’s got a new…

t-minus shut up
Week 2 of post-surgery life continues much like last week. On Friday I felt like I’d be well enough to go back up to my WFH office and sit at my desk like normal but then I felt kinda icky all weekend so I’m back down on the couch again. Post-op was thursday and she said all looked good. She…

hello world
I am back, minus a uterus. It all went well! We were up at 4am Wednesday morning and off to the hospital, only to find the door locked. Went into the ER and asked the nurses there and they told us they dont open til 5:30. My arrival time was 5. Went back home and got my paperwork with the…

i got nothing
I really don’t have much of anything at all to share this week, I almost was like, nah no reason to post this week, I’ll save the handful of things I have for next week’s post. But I figured I ought to check in before the surgery later this week. I’m SO excited. Not for like surgery but just for…

hoa hoa hoa
I’m sorry yall, I still have nothing to post about this week LOL. But I am trying to get back into the habit of my Monday morning postings. A few costume-y notes – got another set of swatches for Troi. One I like ok, I think it looks fairly close to how the dress looks on screen, but it doesn’t…

oh my god
I did not post last week… AGAIN! Well I didn’t have much to talk about so it’s not like anyone was missing anything. I’ve been having to go to the doctor every dang week, excluding the week to disney, and it’s really starting to fray my nerves. They’re trying to get my blood pressure under control before surgery later this…

it’s the disney trip report
HI. We are back from Disney and I want a do-over, LOL. The weather was actually worse than I anticipated. Forecast was showing us a few days where the upper temps in the afternoon were high 50s/60s, so I thought that’s shorts weather for the boys, I’ll be fine in the warmer stuff I brought with me. Nope. Weather was…

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…

Sorry for no post monday! Or yesterday. I may have to start moving my weekly post back because Mondays are becoming too hard. And then I forget. I HAVE been working on the site though, I have all the costume pages updated with their new photoshoot pictures and notes. Yay. Speaking of, here’s a recap of the photoshoot pics I’ve…

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…

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…

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…

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…

haul out the holly
Hey look I’m posting on time this week! Which is good because I won’t be posting on time next week, it’s CHRIMAS. Well first lets post the new photoshoot results. The Scarlet Witch disneybound dress! I did add the sleeves just before the shoot. I wanted to do that as soon as we got back from the cruise, but as…

a day late and a dollar short
Well more like 2 days late but at least I made it over here to post. Not a lot to talk about this week but I do at least have new photoshoot pics to share. Last shoot was my 3 retro style dresses plus Pirate Ariel. Like I literally do not care that this is made of parts of other…

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.…
