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 ...
Down to the wire here. The last week has been a roller coaster. I have a new boss. His style is totally spiking my anxiety. 2 meetings today in the midst of trying to get ready to be out of town. I do not think he understand my job/position in the company. I'm going to have to deal with this when I get back. (EDIT: I removed the paragraph about ...
Whelp here we are about a week out and I am NOT DONE and not even the SLIGHTEST bit packed. Normally this point I've already packed the stuff that's done/older costumes but I haven't even gotten my bin out of the attic yet. I can't even get excited about con because I'm still in panic mode. I spent 3 days last week destroying my right arm to sew this cord ...

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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Well here we are on another Monday. So here was my Padme to-do list last week, with updates: 1. Hem skirt - done! 2. Finish pleated front panel/attach - half done. I got it re-gathered and ready to go but wanted to wait til my beads arrived to make sure the two things together are sized correctly. 3. Do tacks on top - no, i am too lazy 4. Research stamp stuff for ...
We're back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase's birthday. But, as usual, let's start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it's been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says hi I've been wanting this bag for a while and ...
