would’ve could’ve should’ve

Oh hi, I don't have a lot to talk about this week, except that it was my birthday. Nana brought me balloons!! Chase got me the folklore vinyl and the Pat McGrath Taylor Made Lip kit (I used it friday night, it's sooo nice, it might actually be the catalyst for me to finalllly throw away my ancient tube of Mac Russian Red and switch to this as my go-to ...

Sorry I'm a day late! Chase just sent me the pics he took of my Valkyrie costume Saturday last night so I wanted to wait til i had those to post. But before i get to Valkyrie let's rewind to last week! First up look at all this fabric I donated! I was able to give all of this to an art teacher who has a sewing machine in her ...

treat yo’self

The days are changing - the sunlight in my work office in the morning is absolutely killing me. It's reflecting off the glass of my desk and directly into my eyes. I've had to pull up the ends of the curtains to lay across the glass to block it. And this is why, last week, I built a blanket fort in my sewing room and just worked from my blanket ...

life, the universe, and everything

HI it's my birthday!!!! Already getting off to a "FUN" start, work has been completely insane the last week and continues to be so. But today is a birthday I've been waiting for. For years, decades even, I have wanted to do a Hitchhiker's Guide themed birthday for my 42nd birthday. Well obviously because of the state of the world I did not get to do a Hitchhiker's Guide themed ...

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 today. I've still been slogging through the photoshoot pics. Both ...

itsa my birthday too

Hi Hello I actually have content to post this week! I worked overtime last week so I could be off on my birthday. I slept in, got up and finished cleaning the house, went to lunch with my parents, took a nap, went and got Kevin and by then it was party time. Obviously my birthday party theme was Raid Area 51. Kevin was the ALIENS guy. Of course. At first ...

in which I have a birthday and suddenly have a new costume to make

Thursday was my birthday! And it was a rather important birthday in relation to my blog -- this is the 20th birthday I've blogged about here. And funnily enough, I celebrated this birthday the exact same way I celebrated it in 1998 - we went to Molly's with my family and we sat in the exact same place and they brought out a birthday dessert and everybody sang and it was ...

Medieval Leia, birthday stuff

So Friday night we threw up the smaller backdrop and quickly reshot Medieval Leia and TFA Leia. They turned out MUCH MUCH better. No more harsh shadows from the buns across my face and TFA dress isn't blown out. I got medieval Leia pics back and uploaded yesterday. So I'll have her portfolio page updated sometime soon. I'm hoping to have TFA Leia tomorrow. But before my photoshoot, I drove ...

8 miles outta memphis and I got no spare

I have more photoshoot pictures!! Unfortunately some of them did not turn out. TFA Leia's pics not turning out is my fault - because of the wrinkles I didn't think to iron out. So we are going to reshoot that one. Then, the lights on medieval Leia were weird and made the whole thing look super weird, so while we're redoing TFA Leia we're going to redo medieval Leia, too. ...

A quick birthday post

I haven't posted since Monday even though my birthday was Tuesday and I usually always post then! I'll get to the reason why in a sec. Monday night Chase made my fav cheese fondue!! We watched the new Beatles doc on hulu. And I finished cleaning my office: Tuesday was my actual birthday and I went to lunch with parents and came home to find flowers and balloons! Then the ...
