    the pit of despair

    Being back at work after being off for 2 weeks suuuuuucks. Also my mental health is currently being completely propped up by a trip we are planning this spring. Thank goodness for that. What have I done the past week? Not much. I did start taking Christmas down yesterday, so that’s something. We did some more photoshoots, which I’ll talk…

    At long last! I’m posting this way later than I normally do! But I was waiting on the last of my white backdrop pics of stuff from this year. Ok, so let’s start off with reviewing what I said I was going to make in 2025 in December 2024: 1. MoM Scarlet Witch – YES! Finally buckled down and used…

    I was starting to wonder if I’d be able to post today with the AWS outage – couldn’t upload anything to my photo server. But seems to be working now so let’s get on with it. Been mostly focusing on finishing my sewing room clean-up. Is it done? No because there is SO MUCH to do. I can’t remember if…

    Hey look I’m in good enough shape to be posting on my day off! Let’s just go through every project one by one. The Trois: Deanna has been done and partially packed.

    im starting with the man in the mirror

    Well hi, sorry I didn’t update last week. I was in the TRENCHES friends. Still am, but I’m stopping to post today, otherwise I won’t remember everything I need to cover. It’s already going to be dice-y here. First and foremost – my site is breaking again, this time it’s my blog headers. I have a separate plug-in I use…

    its clobberin time

    Saw Fantastic Four this weekend. Really loved it. I wanna live in that world. First up let’s go back to my Padme Lover bodysuit project. I got the new outer layer/lining layers cut, assembled and dyed. Got them sewn together and sewn onto the interior bodice. Got the zipper in, hand-tacked down, got the outer layer sewn in place along…

    im only doing this for debbie

    Well. That weekend was a disaster. Let’s start with fun stuff first though – I ordered my ribbons for Dragoncon! So last week I said I wanted to be done with costume #5’s base so I could start rhinestoning by the end of the week. I was only a couple of days behind. I did drop the idea of having…
