Tinkerbell and a 3 day weekend
I took Friday off so I could sew, guess how much sew I got done?! (Hint: not a lot. At least not that day.) I bummed around all morning, then went to Hobby Lobby because I needed a new roll of paper for making patterns. Then I was done earlier than expected, but I’d ordered my lunch online set for…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2011-2017
So now we are entering the “modern” era of my artwork. And I’ve actually been producing quite a bit more the past few years than I did in 2005-2009… it just took a bit to get there. I produced absolutely no art whatsoever in 2014, only year for that to happen… February 28, 2011 – ART POST: DOCTOR WHO I…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2005-2010

It’s not a big post, but it’s a good one
I’ve been down with a migraine since tuesday… which especially sucks because I’m working overtime this week so I can be off friday so my work days are extra long. I basically come home from work, eat, have a bath, and go to bed at like 9 because I’m so tired from the migraine. Hopefully it goes away today. Tuesday…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 2000-2001
So now we move onto my favourite art of 2000 and 2001 — this post covers the smallest amount of time I’ll be doing this week, because there was SO MUCH ART these two years. At this point I had 2 issues of SunDowner under my belt and finally felt like I was getting comfortable in my drawing style –…

A Non-Birthday Blog Post
It’s been a bit since I did a regular post! I’ve been concentrating on getting the birthday blog posts up and going. So let me pick up since the last post. Chase and I split an amazon gift card from Christmas and I got this: Oh yes. It’s good. And we got a lion hat for Luna. She hates it.…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Art of 1997-1999
This week for my Birthday Blog Bash, I’m going to be featuring some of my favourite art from over the years. Considering my site really got its start as my art portfolio (before moving into costuming), there’s a LOT to cover in the earlier years. So this post will cover the earliest — 1997 through 1999. Obviously I have no…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Posts of 2005-2012
I know 2005-2012 seems like a HUGE chunk of time. But in this space there were times where I didn’t post much — blogger stopped working regularly, we got married, moved twice, so in some cases posts were sparse. But let’s get on with it — my fav posts/memories/moments of 2005-2012. JANUARY 16, 2005 – MY NEW SERGER! AND QUI-GON…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Posts of 2002-2004
Onto my next installment of my favourite blog posts – this time covering 2002 through 2004! There was a lot of change in these years; I self-published SunDowner in 2002 but then kinda burnt out, art-wise and focused more on costuming going into 2004. January 14, 2002: WHEN THE PEE DIDN’T SOAK IN It’s an older story but it checks…

Birthday Blog: My Fav Posts of 1998-2001
Today I’m going to share some of my favourite posts and memories from the earliest years of my blog. (This doesn’t strictly include or exclude art or costume posts – sometimes they interconnect, but posts specifically about art or costumes will be covered in the next 2 weeks.) As I mentioned in my first post about my blog’s 20th birthday,…

Happy Birthday BLOG!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WEBSITE/BLOG!!!! So I don’t know the exact date I started my website — I first started a site in 1997 on aol sometime in 1997. (I have notes saying it was January 1997 but I’m not sure how accurate that is!) Sadly I don’t have any of those old files or screenshots of that first version…

Happy New Year!
GUESS WHAT! My blog is 20 years old now. It’s in college. My earliest blog posts were late 97/early 98 and the oldest post I was able to track down to reupload was from January 8, 1998. I think next week I will do a big post about it for its birthday! So anyway, this weekend was rather lazy. Mostly…

Sims Pets and Star Wars stuff
Ok so Chase got me Sims 4: Pets for for Christmas! He surprised me with it early, and then since they were on for 50% on Origin, I went ahead and got Get to Work, too. So now I have all of the Sims 4 expansions. Fun. So I wanted to make a new family so I could make pets…

I have gazillion things to post
Wow I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start… We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little…

The Last Jedi
Site updates: Patreon Print Store is live. I been waffling about where to list all of my costume/art prints I’ve been saying I’m going to list for ages. And then it was finding the time to individually list them all. But then I realized, hey I need stuff for my new patreon. Let’s just make them all a patreon reward…

2017 Year in Review
It’s that time of the year again… time to see what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, and what I did instead of doing the things I said I was going to do. So last year I said my goals for 2017 were: 1. Georgian Belle – as I said above, finish it up for Visioncon. Did…

Meow Lover (A Sims Story)
Those of you who don’t like stories about my stupid Sims games, abandon ship now! So I started my game with a young man named Meow Lover. Obviously Meow Lover loves cats – but he doesn’t have one because I don’t have the Pets expansion yet. Instead, he expresses his appreciation for cats through his job in social media –…
