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…

so long 2024
and don’t let the door hit you on the way out So let’s see what has happened since Thursday… Finished my new T’Lyn wig. It is VERY difficult to get on with the headband and ears all crowded up in the same area, but with Chase’s help it works. I really just need some ear tips for Vulcan/Elf costumes that…

The BigAss Christmas Post
OMG it took me forever to upload all the pics I needed to since the last post. Let me just go through everything from the beginning. We have not been able to keep Santa upright this year. Too much rain I guess, his stakes won’t stay in the ground and he falls over. Poor guy. I forgot to put this…

haul out the holly
Hey look I’m posting on time this week! Which is good because I won’t be posting on time next week, it’s CHRIMAS. Well first lets post the new photoshoot results. The Scarlet Witch disneybound dress! I did add the sleeves just before the shoot. I wanted to do that as soon as we got back from the cruise, but as…

word vomit
Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin’s dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It’s a lot. I got a new friend.…

let’s have a covid christmas
As I mentioned in last week’s posts, I had a stomach bug or something last week after getting back from NYC. Even after getting past the pukey-ness and stomach cramps, I still was exhausted and had no appetite. Saturday we had to run a few errands and that was the end of that day for me. We were supposed to…

The not NY Post
So like I said, I didn’t post last week, just didn’t have much to say and we were busy getting ready for the trip. Not a lot happened out side of trip preparation, so I’ll just touch the few highlights. First off I got sick as soon as we got home from NY Tuesday night. I was up all night…

adventures in old costumes – again
Hey if you saw my photoshoot post from Friday you might have seen me mention I wanted to do another photoshoot day while everything was still set up… Well we’re doing it this weekend. What am I shooting? First up – HILD! I’ve had Hild on my list to get shot for a looooong time because in the back of…

no resolutions
I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…

nope
Not a lot to talk about this week. Last night I did officially finish all the hems on wedding Leia but it doesn’t look any different than last time I posted it so I haven’t taken a new picture. But it means tonight I can start working the ribbon trim on which I’ve been looking forward to. I also need…

the king has returned
Hey guess what another week with me having nothing new to report. Last week I learned that Kevin Lillard (A Fan’s View) had passed away. Very sad to hear. He was so instrumental in the early cosplay community, such a great guy. So many of my old costume photos are from him. And then last night… LAST NIGHT! The Bob…

this is why i don’t skip posting weekly
I really can’t remember what all has happened since I last posted, it’s all too much. Christmas was nice. I’m just going to kinda go through my photos in the order they’re in and talk about them. First up here is my favourite gift bag. I almost gave it away this year but kept it again. I just like taking…

go away sun
The good: I have seen Spider-man and it was glorious. I was already somewhat spoiled (by choice. I was digging through marvel subreddits for months sniffing out details) but it was so much more than I thought it was going to be and very emotional. Loved it. Definitely best Spider-man. The bad: today is my uncle’s funeral. 🙁 The good:…

it’s beginning to look a lot like f this
Yeah I didn’t post last week. Monday I was just really busy and was like, I’ll do it Tuesday. Then I was still busy Tuesday so I thought I’ll do it Wednesday. Then Wednesday morning my uncle Mike was shot during a carjacking. I think one of my cousins had the most accurate response to being told – “Out of…

i am thankful for short work weeks
Oh hi here I am back again with absolutely no Utena updates. My red fabric is supposed to arrive today finally. Then I have to get my brain back up to speed on the project. I know it’s only been like 2 weeks I haven’t done anything on it but that’s long enough for me to forget where I was…

Another Christmas come and gone. This one weirder than most. I was sad leading up to Christmas, I was sad on Christmas, and now I’m sad it’s over because it’s the only thing I had to look forward to. At least I have a 4 day weekend coming up this weekend. Anyway let’s start with Eliza updates because she is…

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…
