HSV Expo Wrap-Up and What-nots

Before I jump into the weekend photos, I'll cover the few things from the week before... I'm going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces -- I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the bodice pieces and the skirt of course... all the fabric ...

Even though I said "no" to April Fool's Day last week, I did make something for it: It cracks me up how well this went together for 5 seconds in photoshop LOL Monday I got my Padme lake dress cardigan from maxxmerch! I love it!! Plus it came with a pin, a print and a keychain!! I filmed an unboxing video, got it edited and uploaded to tiktok... where it stayed ...

why is it so monday in here

Boy what a strange weekend. But let's rewind back to Halloween since I hadn't talked about Halloween night yet. I wore Wanda that night to hand out candy: But we had such a low trick or treater turn out :( We have this one group that gets driven around on a trailer, about 25-ish kids all come pouring off of it when they pull into the cove, so that was the ...

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 ...

Do I already have a christmas tree up? Why yes, yes I do. It's officially Christmas time in our house. First up - here's the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a few trick or treaters! 4 all together, 2 groups of 2. I had ...

good morning to everyone except covid-19

I had a dragoncon dream last night. It was dragoncon 2021 and I was so relieved they still had the convention despite coronavirus. And then I woke up sad. Chase and I took Friday off work and went to early vote. I feel like I'm the only person on social media without a cute mask. I've made a couple of masks but I find them too hard to breath in (and ...

the midnight hour is close at hand…

Well, our week of Kevin and Skye is nearly over. Kevin went home yesterday and Skye will be going home today. Luna will be happy but I'll miss them. Even though Kevin pretty much stayed in his room here most of the time. He was playing the FF7 remake which I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in his room and watching - reminds me that I need to buy it for ...

greeeeeen finger

We've got a full house this week. We have Skye staying with us... My work assistant. And Kevin is here this week too! He hasn't stayed with us in a YEAR! I mean obviously the world has gone crazy but the little bit of normalcy by having Kevin stay over is really nice. I don't have a pic of Kevin to post here like I did for Skye because Kevin ...

I'm losing my sanity. I keep trying to keep good and positive thoughts about the state of things and tell myself things will be back to normal in XX amount of time but it never happens. I feel like I'm staring into an abyss. All right now that I've got that out of my system let's talk about what I did this past week. The first part of my Sailor ...

this house has people in it

Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it's Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let's start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It's going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week we're going to go pick out paint to repaint the bedroom ...
