dragoncon persists

Well I'm back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I'm kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn't do any of it. It was like I only had a finite amount of mental energy, less than usual, and I ...

its the final countdown

It's now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we'd have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what'd I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don't know, and I don't give a shit at this point. More Taylor boot ...

Left off the 2 unconfirmed for now. Here's where we stand at the moment: 1. Seven of Nine with her updates from December I need ...

life was a willow

Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I'm officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon costumes. Let's recap! Tatooine Padme: First up, I finally bit the bullet ...

is somebody gonna match my freak

I've been trying to catch her in this pose and set the Huttslayer figure in front of her for ages. Finally got it. Not a lot to report on this week. The soft lavender and pale blue are making me wish I'd committed to doing only pastel costumes for dragoncon LOL Walker stayed over Friday, she watched the Eras livestream with me. THIS is what I've been dealing with the ...

you’re a loony

Oh my gosh I have a ton to post today. So let's start at the beginning. Tuesday we took Kevin to see Inside Out 2. He did his best Mr Bean impression while wearing a tiny hat at Huey's. And then he posed with Wolvy and Deadpool. We wanted to take a group picture with this after the movie but there were people just sitting on it like a park bench, ...
