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! ...

Thankfully it was only about half full ...
I've had Eyes Without a Face stuck in my head all morning and I have no idea why. Before I dive into sewing news let's talk about the generic life stuff. Ice storm last week, again. Fun.
