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…

thank you for your preferences
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…

oops
Didn’t post last week! Monday ended up being really busy. So let me try to remember everything from the last 2 weeks. 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…

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.…

Oh my god you should see your faces
I’m back with a huge dump of content. Let’s start with white backdrop shoot round 1 results! Also portfolio entries for all 3 of these are updated with more pics and any other little notes I wanted to add since Dragoncon. Mara Jade: Shin Hati: Taylor Swift: Speaking of Taylor Swift… time for a trip recap! We left bright and…

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…

champagne problems

Monday I got something in the mail I’d been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
