    i can go the distance

    What a weird week! Let’s start off with the new photoshoot pics first. New Padme lake dress pics! I restyled the wig for this. It was a pain in the butt. But worth it. I do need to fix a couple of things before I take this to dragoncon this year – first, I did make it a little too…

    hello world

    I do at least have some new photoshoot stuff to post today, but other than that, not a lot. Thursday was the funeral. Kevin looking dapper. Mama Gin and Papa It was a long day. We had to be there at 11:30 and we weren’t done with everything til about 3. And my stupid ass didn’t eat anything beforehand, no…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Hey I actually have costume content to post today!! Finished my new MoM Wanda skirt: Version 1 spoonflower fabric to the left, version 2 knitorious fabric version to the right.

    It’s the rare midweek post! I have important stuff to share! First, my Scarlet Witch pics from Sunday! This was me on the sidewalk just waiting on Chase to get the camera out and ready and he said “hold that” LOL A crop of this is my new pfp pretty much everywhere. What’s funny is that this spot is the…

    oh my god

    I did not post last week… AGAIN! Well I didn’t have much to talk about so it’s not like anyone was missing anything. I’ve been having to go to the doctor every dang week, excluding the week to disney, and it’s really starting to fray my nerves. They’re trying to get my blood pressure under control before surgery later this…

    it’s rat time

    Remember how last week I said we were finally done with white backdrop shoots? Well I lied. Chase used a different camera for the last 2 shoots (Jedi Leia and Boushh) and when I got the shots back they just looked too different than every other white backdrop shoot; I looked back lit. Which was a bummer because i really…

    Sorry for no post monday! Or yesterday. I may have to start moving my weekly post back because Mondays are becoming too hard. And then I forget. I HAVE been working on the site though, I have all the costume pages updated with their new photoshoot pictures and notes. Yay. Speaking of, here’s a recap of the photoshoot pics I’ve…

    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…

    White Backdrop To-Do (or To-Don’t)

    Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here’s a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but…

    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.…

    mistakes were made

    I have got nothing to post this week really. Yes I could’ve finished my Leia dress. Did I? No, in fact I made it worse. I did get my belting and tried it on with the dress. I’m still not happy with how lumpy the waist-seam looks EVEN THOUGH it’s hidden. I think I said in a previous post I’d…

    im not sick but im not well

    Another weird week. Didn’t go out for New Year’s – that’s not new, we haven’t gone out in years – but we also still didn’t have Christmas because half the family is still covid positive. My mom finally tested negative this morning. Last week we had Cath & family staying with us for a couple of days. We really need…
