    Susan Sto Helit updates!

    Ok, so I had to put the corset on good, and once I had that on I decided to try out the skirt, too. And then of course I had to put the wig on, and get my gloves and my scythe and the boots, so while I had it all on mom took a pic. I really like the…

    Susan wig & corset & skirt!

    My wig for Susan came Tuesday, btw. It cracks me up. It’s so awesome. Today I got home and the corset and skirt had come. The corset is so cool, I’ve never had a real corset before. I can’t get it on me by myself very well though. I really like it, it’s perfect for the costume. The skirt… hmm.…

    Sketchblog: Issue 7

    This is a back-dated post! In 2016 I went back through my old sketchbooks and “rescued” a lot of my old, lost artwork, and I’m slowly getting them re-added to my archives. I don’t actually know when this was done but I’m making an educated guess on where to place this. In going through one of my sketchbooks I found…

    when i looked stupid

    I can’t wear jeans to work this week ’cause the big boss from out of town is there, which only leaves me one pair of pants: my khaki pants. Out of desperation to not wear the same pair of pants ALL week, I decided to try the green pants I wore with my elf costume last year (the only time…

    Amalthea & Utena updates

    I finished Sakura, except I’m going to make some loose socks to wear with it. I got a pattern and fabric for Amalthea yesterday. I got some pretty light lavender satin for it… but they didn’t have what we wanted of it – 4 1/2 yards. THey only have 3.75 or something. So I got that and decided to make…

    Utena photoshoot!

    I didn’t chicken out, we took the Utena pics! When I got out of the car, tho, my little jewel on the front fell off and broke!! ><; Luckily I’d brought tape so we were able to fix it. Yesterday I was just kicking around different sites and found the wig I wanted for my Susan costume. So I went…

    when indy ran off

    I forgot to mention that yesterday I spent 20 minutes climbing through the woods looking for my crazy dog. She ran off back there and WOULD NOT come out. I had to crawl my way through the underbrush calling for her trying to find her. I felt like some kind of jungle woman. I did find her eventually… and BOY…

    when i finally took some medicine

    Last night I had such a horrible headache!! It was horrible! From 2 in the afternoon to 10 at night. I finally took something for it around 9:30, after trying a nap, a bath, eating… everything I normally do to get rid of a headache. I hate taking medicine, but it was just so bad I finally gave in and…

    Oh and my cosplay journal has comments now, too. I dunno why. It was a spur of the moment thing. And I haven’t updated sketch today… I’m on my comp where the scanner doesn’t work. Tomorrow, tomorrow I promised. I’ve been doing so good at it tho! 😀

    when we argued subcultures

    I told my mother. We were having this discussion in the car Sunday!! I told her that I am a geek. I’m not a nerd, I’m not a dork (well, maybe a little dork). There are differences between the three. They’re hard for me to explain, but there are. You guys know what I’m talking about, right? I am a…

    Cut pattern for Amalthea out last night. I don’t expect it’ll take too long. If there weather warms up slightly, dad and I are going to go out to the park and take new pics of Utena this weekend.

    when leprosy was a thing

    So I went to the mall yesterday morning before work to pick up a CD, and a friend of mine was working at the music store when I get there! I got a free Spider-man ornament and a LOTR keychain! So I was at my aunt’s office and they were doing inventory. My aunt asks me, “Hey, you know what…
