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…

champagne problems
Wow! After weeks of nothing much to post about, I finally have a decent amount of stuff to post about! First here’s a couple of Chase’s pics of my Wanda at Zooboo last weekend. And my parents! Monday I got something in the mail I’d been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I…

wild & free teen angst morning
That’s my spotify daylist playlist this morning LOL “You listened to pop and delicate in the morning. Here’s some teen angst, teen rock, brat autumn, wild & free, do it for the plot, and teen pop.” I had some weird dreams last night. I dreamt I was at the Hyatt at Dragoncon (only dragoncon in my head though, it didn’t…

worldwide epiphany
Did I sew this week? LOL NO I do have a little sewing project I need to get started on this week that is not Shin or Baylan capes, so I’ll probably at least get everything back in the attic space and look over my fabric remnants to see if I’ve got enough to do it or if I need…

let’s circle back after the holidays
Halloween now feels like a month ago. But it was just a week ago! Since it was cold out I wore Leia so I could layer under it, and it’s comfortable to sit in while waiting on trick or treaters. I ended up being home alone most of the night. Chase had to go over and help my aunt and…

spooky spectacular
Hey hi boy have the last few days been busy! Earlier last week I did finish up Stevie: But more on that later. Wednesday had dinner with the girls! Thursday a mysterious box showed up. Well, mysterious to Luna, not to me. Tiktok Shop finally got me, I said I’d never buy anything from there but… I did. This cat…

what a weird week
No, i don’t have the christmas trees out yet – I probably mentioned it in the last post, but we got a new hot water heater last monday! YAY! Our old one hadn’t gone out yet, but it had gotten very inconsistent, like one time the water would be piping hot and then the next 5 days lukewarm. It’s nice…

its finally fall!
It finally got a little chilly here. Went outside yesterday morning to get some catgrass for Luna and it was COLD! I’m normally a summer girlie but I’m ready to wear my hoodies. (I’ll be ready for summer again by december LOL) Let’s start with sewing updates — I started on my Stevie top. I thought I’d get this in…

spooky scary skeletons
It’s finally FALL YALL I finished getting the inside mostly decorated. I still have a few more lights to put up and I plan to put one of my dressforms in the front window in a spooky costume again. Thinking about using my Edith costume with my Donna Noble runaway bride veil for a spooky bride look? Gonna wrap the…

why is it so monday in here
Boy what a strange weekend. But let’s rewind back to Halloween since I hadn’t talked about Halloween night yet. I wore Wanda that night to hand out candy: But we had such a low trick or treater turn out 🙁 We have this one group that gets driven around on a trailer, about 25-ish kids all come pouring off of…

any questions??
Happy Halloweeeen! So last week, Tuesday night, I got out all of of costumes for the weekend and did repairs/updates. That night I reglued my Wanda front piece back to the bodice (probably wearing it tonight but even if I don’t it needed to be done) and fixed Kevin’s jedi Luke boots — last time he wore them, one of…

this is halloween
Whoo! It’s been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to…

no time off for good behavior
October has really gotten away from me. Here it is less than a week from halloween and I still haven’t even finished decorating. We have made good progress on the tombstones for the yard though. Here’s one with the text dremeled out: And painted up: Chase glued the stands on this morning, so they should hopefully be ready to go…

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…

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…

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…

spoOoOoOky halloween
Once again I don’t have much to post this week. But I’m going to divide my post into segments today instead of going chronologically. Sewing! I actually do have a small sewing update this week. Belle is wearable! I had sewn the hook and eye tape on and tried it on – and it was gaping. So I had to…

whelp
I don’t know what I did, I think I like, upset a fairy, or made a witch mad because I’m starting to think I’m cursed. I don’t have much to post this week because last week was another doozy. I think I’m going to have to book a therapist just to deal with JUST the last 3 months of my…

poor unfortunate souls
So this week was a lot of stuff to do with plays. Play practice, painting play backdrops, making play costume… Halloween itself was kinda lame. As usual. It rained allll day. I wore Garth to work though I left the wig off most of the day. I was going to change into something else for handing out candy that night,…

halloween hijinks
oh god that’s such a stupid subject line but i’m sticking with it. I’ve been dealing with a cold since tuesday! Ugh! Friday it progressed into “i’m coughing so much i can’t sleep/breath and I feel like I’m going to break a rib.” Mucinex is my best friend right now. House stuff is at a “hurry up and wait” point.…
