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…

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…

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…

a paperweight in shades of greige
Oh hi Not much to report on this week. I did put parts of Baylan and Shin on the dressforms to take some more pics. Gonna add a few of these to the construction page until I can get more pics of us IN the costumes. Got all of Dragoncon put away. As I was carrying the last bit upstairs…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

one day remains
Down to the wire here. The last week has been a roller coaster. I have a new boss. His style is totally spiking my anxiety. 2 meetings today in the midst of trying to get ready to be out of town. I do not think he understand my job/position in the company. I’m going to have to deal with this…

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,…

you exist in the context
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…

lingering in the ocean blue
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…
