2022 costume wrap-up and 2023 plans
I want to do my wrap-up today instead of a regular post. I may still do a mini update post later today. So as usual let’s start out by seeing what I said I wanted to make in 2022 back in December 2021. 1. Finish Utena – YES! 2. Lady Jessica – YES! 3. Padme’s Packing Gown – YES! 4.…

a new reality
Well here we are, I am now living in a world without my Mema. I just wrote a shit ton of paragraphs about how this weekend was and what it was like being in my sewing room absolutely surrounded by things that remind me of her and then I deleted it all. I think if you’ve been reading my blog…

does that make me crazy?
Five day weekends are rough. Having to get up for work this morning was criminal. It was not a great weekend. I haven’t talked about it much, but my Mema has not been doing well, she has been on hospice (at home thankfully) for the last couple of weeks. And we were able to go up and spend Thanksgiving with…

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…

1 step forward, 2 steps back
(Wakanda Forever spoilers in this post. Just skip this post until you’ve seen the movie if it’s important to you!) Let’s start off today with some sewing updates. Last week I finally got the lining and chiffon layers sewn together. It was giving Endora. Got the sleeve openings tacked together. And I also got the sleeve linings cut. Saturday I…

the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
Not much in the way of wedding dress Leia progress this week – the only thing I did was sew the 2 back panels together and gather the upper edge. Yes that’s all I did in a week. Why? Because I decided to complete clean out and clean up my sewing room instead. Avoidant behaviour. Last week I posted a…

awake but at what cost
oof what a weekend. So fun fact, when the previous owners of our house decided to put it on the market, they had the entire house repainted. Everything, (and unfortunately not well but that’s a story for another day) I wish they’d saved the money and built it into the sale as a bonus towards the new owners painting, but…

vacation happy to get away
I’m back from vacay and feeling…tired and anxious LOL So let’s start with the sewing update since there’s not a lot to that (since I wasn’t sewing this weekend obv) Like I said previously I’m making this Leia dress in 2 pieces – dress and cincher. I just think it will look best. Last week I got the basic interior…

destination perryville
hello hi I actually have content today. I got to be Merida at a medieval feast! And also brought green Anne to display on the dressform. On the way home stopped at lambert’s for dinner: I have not been here since the 90s? We used to stop on our family St Louis vacations, and it was always so much fun,…

welcome to 43
I guess this means I’m entering year 25 of blogging. I started when I was 18, before the word “blogging” was even around. i called it “free talk” at the beginning. Anyway not much to post this week – again – except birthday stuff. Didn’t do much on my birthday. Chase had his dates off and thought my birthday wasn’t…

the serious moonlight
Ok so you know those mcdonald’s halloween pails? The ones that they are saying might be back this year? I just saw a news story about the rumor and reminded me of this. A few years ago, my mom was cleaning out the entry way closet – they don’t really use the front door/entry way so that closet tends to…
