    life goes on man

    First off I went ahead and added Arwen to my portfolio even though I don’t have pics of me actually in it yet. I did take a video Friday: I took a few days off sewing after finishing Arwen, and this weekend finally got back into stuff for Eliza. Started disassembling the curtains which was easier than I expected –…

    she’s not there

    Having a 4 day weekend was GREAT. Especially since because of… the current world situation… we didn’t go anywhere or do anything. Just did stuff around the house and took naps and ate good food. Last week I pulled this costume out for a tiktok video… I posted said video Thanksgiving day and it promptly bombed. It’s so frustrating; my…

    keep my pretty name out of your mouth

    Yaaaay it’s only a 3 day work week. Thankfully it seems like Luna is finally past being mad at me. She’s been totally normal for a week now. We did go ahead and get a Feliway plug-in as suggested by a friend (thanks Summer!) and hopefully that will help keep her mellow. She did do something last week she’s never…

    So here we are again, another Monday of another week exactly the same as last week which was same as the week before. Well, one thing that was different this week – I pissed Luna off on friday and she was mad at me almost all weekend. Tuesday last week she peed on the doormat by the backdoor. Very weird…

    migraine nation

    It’s that time of the year… the time when the weather can’t make up it’s mind and leaves me in a migraine/sinus headache hell for weeks on end. I’ve had an off and on migraine since last weekend. A lot of it has been in my neck which makes me wonder if it’s also stress. Or the way I’m sleeping…

    merry christmas

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    White Backdrop Shoot To-Do

    I’m posting this here so I can refer back to it because if I save this on my computer I’ll never look at it again. I made a list of all the costumes that I still have that haven’t been shot on the white backdrop. I separated them into groups: Costumes that can be shot right now: Raddus Bridge Leia…

    heathcliff, it’s me, i’m cathy

    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…

    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…

    its my birthday too

    I think I’m going to have to change my weekly post date. Mondays have become too hectic. I like to post Mondays because the most stuff happens over the weekend, so I remember most everything. But I think I’m going to have to start looking at Tuesday or something. But I’m here to try to get a quick post out…

    Sorry for no post last week. I really didn’t have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand… as of today I still don’t have much of anything to post. I’ve spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days.…

    the week of despair

    It’s Dragoncon week. I should have only been working today and tomorrow. I should’ve been heading to Atlanta Wednesday morning. But instead I’m stuck here at work, and I’ll probably be in my pajamas all week. I posted on my instagram that usually, the night before we leave for Dragoncon, I have what I call my “Annual Wash and Wax…

    this time baby ill be bulletproof

    I once again skipped posting on Monday because I had nothing of importance to post. I did actually sew a little bit last night so I’m posting today. I spent most of yesterday afternoon listing stuff on ebay. For a couple of months now we’ve been stacking stuff we want to sell/donate in the dining room, and I just hadn’t…

    …until I had more content to post this week, thus why I didn’t post Monday. Monday would’ve just been a whole bunch of gifs I made on the reface app. LOL. I did not do much sewing the past week. I guess I did so much last weekend that I took a break LOL. How often do I get to…

    I gotta level with you I am not doing well right now.

    For the first time in a few weeks I actually have things to post! WOW First let’s talk about the pet dramas. My parents rented a cabin and went on a short vacation last week. So Skye came over and stayed with us. It was nice to have company in my work office all day, since Luna won’t ever come…
