it’s rat time

Remember how last week I said we were finally done with white backdrop shoots? Well I lied. Chase used a different camera for the last 2 shoots (Jedi Leia and Boushh) and when I got the shots back they just looked too different than every other white backdrop shoot; I looked back lit. Which was a bummer because i really liked some of the photos especially the ones where Luna crashed ...

The BigAss Christmas Post

OMG it took me forever to upload all the pics I needed to since the last post. Let me just go through everything from the beginning. We have not been able to keep Santa upright this year. Too much rain I guess, his stakes won't stay in the ground and he falls over. Poor guy. I forgot to put this Kelce patch IN Ash's present so I taped it to ...

I don’t know what we’re yelling about

It's another Monday where I feel like I have nothing to show for the past week. On Saturday I was thinking about what I was going to post today -- like what have I done all week?? I couldn't think of anything! On Monday last week i did finish up my Wanda shirt. I'm still on the fence about posting pics because I feel like it doesn't look as good ...

what in the sam hill

made it to another week. Trying to think of what I've worked in the last week and it doesn't feel like anything! But I did! First up I got my Wanda sweatshirt half done, but I had to order another roll of HTV -- and then when it got here, the silhouette stopped cutting it and we didn't get the problem figured out until Saturday afternoon (I say "we" but ...
