let’s have a covid christmas

As I mentioned in last week's posts, I had a stomach bug or something last week after getting back from NYC. Even after getting past the pukey-ness and stomach cramps, I still was exhausted and had no appetite. Saturday we had to run a few errands and that was the end of that day for me. We were supposed to have family game night that night but I was too ...

The not NY Post

So like I said, I didn't post last week, just didn't have much to say and we were busy getting ready for the trip. Not a lot happened out side of trip preparation, so I'll just touch the few highlights. First off I got sick as soon as we got home from NY Tuesday night. I was up all night sick to my stomach in a way I have not ...

adventures in old costumes – again

Hey if you saw my photoshoot post from Friday you might have seen me mention I wanted to do another photoshoot day while everything was still set up... Well we're doing it this weekend. What am I shooting? First up - HILD! I've had Hild on my list to get shot for a looooong time because in the back of my brain I'm always like "you can't wear Urd again ...

no resolutions

I generally don't make New Year's resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to "pet more dogs" and that's what I'm going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year's resolution. I didn't post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend. Work just ended up being super busy the day I ...

nope

Not a lot to talk about this week. Last night I did officially finish all the hems on wedding Leia but it doesn't look any different than last time I posted it so I haven't taken a new picture. But it means tonight I can start working the ribbon trim on which I've been looking forward to. I also need to finish the closure on the waist cincher which I ...

the king has returned

Hey guess what another week with me having nothing new to report. Last week I learned that Kevin Lillard (A Fan's View) had passed away. Very sad to hear. He was so instrumental in the early cosplay community, such a great guy. So many of my old costume photos are from him. And then last night... LAST NIGHT! The Bob Iger announcement! I saw somebody mention it and was like ...

this is why i don’t skip posting weekly

I really can't remember what all has happened since I last posted, it's all too much. Christmas was nice. I'm just going to kinda go through my photos in the order they're in and talk about them. First up here is my favourite gift bag. I almost gave it away this year but kept it again. I just like taking it out of our christmas wrapping bin and looking at ...

go away sun

The good: I have seen Spider-man and it was glorious. I was already somewhat spoiled (by choice. I was digging through marvel subreddits for months sniffing out details) but it was so much more than I thought it was going to be and very emotional. Loved it. Definitely best Spider-man. The bad: today is my uncle's funeral. :( The good: This weekend we got to hang out with Ash for her ...

it’s beginning to look a lot like f this

Yeah I didn't post last week. Monday I was just really busy and was like, I'll do it Tuesday. Then I was still busy Tuesday so I thought I'll do it Wednesday. Then Wednesday morning my uncle Mike was shot during a carjacking. I think one of my cousins had the most accurate response to being told - "Out of all the things I was thinking you were going to ...

i am thankful for short work weeks

Oh hi here I am back again with absolutely no Utena updates. My red fabric is supposed to arrive today finally. Then I have to get my brain back up to speed on the project. I know it's only been like 2 weeks I haven't done anything on it but that's long enough for me to forget where I was going with it. Tuesday last week we went to see the ...
