let’s circle back after the holidays

Halloween now feels like a month ago. But it was just a week ago! Since it was cold out I wore Leia so I could layer under it, and it's comfortable to sit in while waiting on trick or treaters. I ended up being home alone most of the night. Chase had to go over and help my aunt and uncle with something so I figured I was in for ...

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 ...

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 ...

haha i like it but not a lot

... i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if not... we'll just take the hit. I'm sad! Now we have ...

tired

man im so tired. As I think I said last week my motivation to do anything has just evaporated into thin air. I've been trying to make myself work on ceremonial Leia without much success. My greatest achievement in the past week is that my Animal Crossing island got to 5 stars. I dunno how because last week I decided to totally dig up and renovate the entire front of my ...

sail away

It's Monday again. And once again I really don't have much in the realm of sewing to show you guys this week. I did do a little. Excited about my new fabric, I decided to start messing around with Liberty Dies Padme. Decided that my smallest hoopskirt was closest to the right shape. It's not 100% but it'll work as a stand-in for now. Also decided that the Padme "Peacock" pattern ...

that crying audio bit from tiktok

That's me today. Because I found these shoes for my disneybound Leia and they were too dang expensive and there's no way I'm spending that much but now everything else I look at is just (me crying thinking about the jordans). I think what I'm going to do is find some cheap plain white high tops and just do some silver vinyl rebel symbols for them on my silhouette. Anyway. ...

it’s a very useless post

Hey so remember how last Monday's post I talked about being sick with a head cold? Well just repeat that because I still have this freaking head cold. I was feeling much better by Friday of last week but then Saturday it came back with a vengeance - or rather, it came back with a migraine. I just felt absolutely awful all day Saturday, so that sucked. I say all ...
