may the 1st

It's dad's bday today! We went out for dinner Saturday night to a new korean bbq place. It was ok. Not like the one we had in NYC. I don't have a lot of costume progress to show this week. I'll chat about it at the end. New pin for the collection! A friend gave us some irises back in 2021 - this is the first year one has bloomed! Hooray! ...

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 ...

migraine nation

It's that time of the year... the time when the weather can't make up it's mind and leaves me in a migraine/sinus headache hell for weeks on end. I've had an off and on migraine since last weekend. A lot of it has been in my neck which makes me wonder if it's also stress. Or the way I'm sleeping on weird pillows (my pillow system is all messed ...

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 ...

i put on a spell on you

I've got that song stuck in my head and it has no bearing on the contents of today's post. But then again, do my titles ever actually relate to the post? Sorry for no post last week; since I posted on friday the week before I didn't have much to share. Now I'm back with a bunch of stuff. Last Saturday (the 13th) I spent the day sitting at the ...

Into the great wide open

I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are... over a week later. But I do actually have more content now to post than just the Padme photos. Let's start ...

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 ...
