Dragoncon 2023 – the costume recap

Ok so to keep my Dragoncon recap free of long paragraphs about costume minutiae, I decided to just make a separate post. 1. 18th Century Barbie Like I said in the main recap post, it was really nice to get to bring this costume back after it had such a disastrous debut at Dragoncon 2015. Literally I nearly had a panic attack wearing it at dcon 2015 - it was too hot, it ...

Dragoncon 2023 – the general recap

Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn't come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don't feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let's recap it all.... I can't remember if I posted our badge ribbons we were handing out? I was giving out bun ...

Dragoncon Part 2!

Ok I was hoping to have this post up last week, but Chase had a lot of trouble exporting the photos and I was only getting them in chunks. I think I've got all of them now, or at least, most of them. Might be a few more stragglers. Besides uploading pics, last week was absolutely crazy at work, and only going to get crazier... I spent most evenings laying ...

back to fake life

I started to title this "back to real life" but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So -- Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low crowds, the people, the volunteers... everything was great. Of course ...

dragoncon updates

I know I just posted yesterday, it's dragoncon season, I'll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. So let's go through 'em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday's post. 1. Wanda Got my HTV ordered and it'll be here thursday. I also bought boots! ...

2020 wrap-up

I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn't think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I'm angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did actually get a decent amount of sewing done this year despite having ...

life goes on man

First off I went ahead and added Arwen to my portfolio even though I don't have pics of me actually in it yet. I did take a video Friday: I took a few days off sewing after finishing Arwen, and this weekend finally got back into stuff for Eliza. Started disassembling the curtains which was easier than I expected - I have 5 ready to go and 1 more to take apart. ...

she’s not there

Having a 4 day weekend was GREAT. Especially since because of... the current world situation... we didn't go anywhere or do anything. Just did stuff around the house and took naps and ate good food. Last week I pulled this costume out for a tiktok video... I posted said video Thanksgiving day and it promptly bombed. It's so frustrating; my account engagement has just been TRASH since joining the creator fund. ...

keep my pretty name out of your mouth

Yaaaay it's only a 3 day work week. Thankfully it seems like Luna is finally past being mad at me. She's been totally normal for a week now. We did go ahead and get a Feliway plug-in as suggested by a friend (thanks Summer!) and hopefully that will help keep her mellow. She did do something last week she's never done before: That's a little table I keep in my work ...

meanwhile

So here we are again, another Monday of another week exactly the same as last week which was same as the week before. Well, one thing that was different this week - I pissed Luna off on friday and she was mad at me almost all weekend. Tuesday last week she peed on the doormat by the backdoor. Very weird and not like her. We were all in the kitchen ...
