crash out
Yesterday was the day of reckoning for the new disneybound Leia dress. But first, let’s rewind and talk about the rest of the week. First shipment of fabric came in for picnic Padme. I definitely did not get enough but at least I got a coupon I can use to buy some more. Finished painting the buttons and got them…

ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Well as I left off last week, all I needed to do on my new disneybound Leia was to sew the buttons on. And then Saturday morning around 4am I crashed out. Mostly over the belt. I just felt like it was too tall on me and the proportions just were not right. So Saturday morning I dug around on…

i am a material girl
February is flying by. I can’t believe it’s halfway over. Which is nice because normally this time of the year drags. Finished the Lake Tahoe puzzle. This one was fun. I got a new one, same kind as the Jane Austen one – Oscar Wilde this time. It’s a little harder because there’s more areas that look the same. And…

it never rains in california
Another Monday at work and work continues to be a source of anxiety – I had a dream one night last week where my whole family had gone to Paris and as we were leaving, like getting into the security line at the airport, I remembered we’d brought Luna with us and we’d forgotten her at the hotel. So we…

its been 84 years…
We’re on day 4,528 of being iced in. It’s all solid ice. It’s snow. No kids have been out making snowmen or having snowball fights in this – if you threw a chunk of this at somebody’s head, you’d kill them, it’s like throwing a brick. Hasn’t really stopped us from getting out and about as needed though, Chase’s car…

a sad sack
Well obviously, if you’re a regular to my site, the biggest news is that I’ve set up a new wordpress theme! It was a hard fought battle but overall I’m pretty happy with it. Lots of changes to get used to. Originally, I had bought a different theme. $60. And I ended up hating it. I was so frustrated –…

i can go the distance
What a weird week! Let’s start off with the new photoshoot pics first. New Padme lake dress pics! I restyled the wig for this. It was a pain in the butt. But worth it. I do need to fix a couple of things before I take this to dragoncon this year – first, I did make it a little too…

hello world
I do at least have some new photoshoot stuff to post today, but other than that, not a lot. Thursday was the funeral. Kevin looking dapper. Mama Gin and Papa It was a long day. We had to be there at 11:30 and we weren’t done with everything til about 3. And my stupid ass didn’t eat anything beforehand, no…

the pit of despair
Being back at work after being off for 2 weeks suuuuuucks. Also my mental health is currently being completely propped up by a trip we are planning this spring. Thank goodness for that. What have I done the past week? Not much. I did start taking Christmas down yesterday, so that’s something. We did some more photoshoots, which I’ll talk…

it’s the 2025 costume wrap-up post
At long last! I’m posting this way later than I normally do! But I was waiting on the last of my white backdrop pics of stuff from this year. Ok, so let’s start off with reviewing what I said I was going to make in 2025 in December 2024: 1. MoM Scarlet Witch – YES! Finally buckled down and used…

we’ll muddle through
Well that was a… Christmas I guess. My grandma “Mama Gin” passed away Christmas morning. She had just turned 99 in October. It’s a complicated thing; I’m sad, but also I feel like I’ve already been grieving her for years? Her dementia and physical health has been really bad for the last few years. And we knew this was coming;…

im freeeeee
For 2 weeks at least. For 2 weeks I don’t have to worry about work. I stabbed myself on the side of my thumb like right next to the nail with a pin saturday and it’s making it really hard to type on a normal keyboard, but I will persevere. Ok first up, more white backdrop pics! Here’s a couple…

drag path
My pictures for today’s post are taking forever to upload. So I’ll start with the things I already have uploaded – more new photoshoot pics! MoM Scarlet Witch: Queen Amidala Disneybound: I took pics with the ears and without the ears so you could see the little “fan” of hair I did at the top to kinda replicate the hairstyle…

terminal enchantment
Hey I actually have costume content to post today!! Finished my new MoM Wanda skirt: Version 1 spoonflower fabric to the left, version 2 knitorious fabric version to the right. Not super happy with my gradient dyeing here but oh well, it is what it is. After seeing it on I think I need to bring the gradient at the…

boy oh boy
Do I have a lot to post about today! Well back over the summer I decided I did not want to be home for Thanksgiving. I looked around for cities that we could road trip to that we hadn’t done before, and decided Asheville NC fit the ticket. My parents decided to come with us too! So we booked an…

goodness knows
Well I would say last Monday my anxiety over the job thing was at a 5/10. On Thursday it shot up to a 10/10 and on Friday I had to ask Chase for one of his anxiety med pills. Which then made me feel hungover all day Saturday. I also had a migraine all weekend, probably from the stress –…

what a glorious morning
Well, what a crap start to the day. My company is axing our division. Winding down ops in February. Only good news is that the company does want to keep me and move me to another division, so I’m still employed, but sick to my stomach anyway rn. Also I have no pics of interest to post this week, it’s…

look at all those chickens
Hey guess what! Last week I said I’d love to have the skirt motifs done by the time I’m writing this week’s blog post. I ALMOST MADE IT!! I’m on the last one and I’ll have it finished today! YAY! Then I have to do the thing I’m dreading the remove the shoulder wrap from the top and do the…

anything can happen on halloween
Another Halloween in the books. Wednesday I picked up Kevin after work – his mom (and my parents!) was on vacation so it worked out for him to come stay with us a few days. Thursday as soon as I was off work started getting him and myself ready for Spooky Science. He wore ceremonial Luke and I wore ceremonial…

the deep clean
The deep clean of the sewing room is almost done! I finally got to vacuum which I’d really been looking forward to it, and I brought the carpet cleaner up to try to get out some stains. Worked great on some and not on others. I’d like to get one of those bigger cleaners and do the whole room one…
