Yesterday I hit up the thrift store after buying catfood and just as I was leaving I spot white combat boots on the rack.
No way they would be my size...BUT THEY WERE !!
Whereever they were before barely touched them. Even the soles are almost spotless.

I love them.

My little self locked in at that theme music and the rugged looking waterfall. Ready for adventure.

Forgot to post my pumpkin.

Realized half way through carving the eyes that they resemble the StarTrek insignia.

Here it is all done and lit up. It was a lot of fun to build and customize to make it a bit more realistic.

Simmer is interested in the new taffeta I am ironing.

Cooler weather beckons cozy project time. I love miniatures so here is a throwback to the time I built an alleyway booknook. It lights up!

Kept seeing photos and vids of celeb people wearing CELINE merch. I was curious what kind of luxury I was looking at.

$3650 for a letter jacket

WTF. Me and my sewing machine just clutched our pearls in poor.
I've made two and both were easily under $100 in materials.

Got a nice selfie with my TimeKey.

Filter is on cause I did not do a good job with my base foundation that night.
Timekey model by Rawrbomb on etsy. Printed, assembled, and painted by me.

The cat walked on my keyboard and opened up 11 windows with her picture.

I think she did it on purpose.

A friend alerted me to a cute LED cat wall hanging at Aldi's that pretty much is Luna.

$10 usd

Reminder that Aldis stock is limited and changes quickly, so go ASAP.

I was like....I bet I can turn this tablecloth into a skirt.

Now what to wear with it? Based on accessories it can be modern or milkmaid.
Suggestions welcomed

Reversible corset!

I am so delighted by this pattern. It's so good at using up stash and makes a cheery garment. I thought the green side was going to be my favorite but I think yellow won my heart. I'm also pleased by the diamond vs. circle contrast.

*deep breath*

Guys one reason I like kpop cause it's cosplay.
It is cosplay, with extra steps.

Idols will change concepts each comeback. They will be pirates, students, angels, a sports team, vampires, gangsters then bad boys/girls.

It's lowkey a cosplay showcase with song & dance.

I don't remember taking this pic but it applies. I need it on a mug and on PJs.

Black beans nachos for dinner.

Learning to work with resin and glitter.

Really fun how accessible this now. A little mixing, curing, and bam a finished piece exactly to your specifications. Even the dollar store has molds.

And now the dog. Ya'll stay off my velvet please. I'm trying to get things done.

So I thought the cat had juuuust gotten big enough that the baby gate would keep her out of my sewing room.

Nope. She turned into water or some shit and now she is laying on my velvet like the little queen she is.

It's time for the #dragoncon parade!

I love how just normal folks come out here with movie quality stuff and funny mashups.

I am pretty darn sure I am in the hotel lobby of my very first con in 1998.
Anime Weekend Atlanta 3. (AWA3)
Marriott North Central

Geez it has been a long time. The memories... I was about to walk an entire life path thanks to this con.

Last minute decision to live life.

Seeing Kpop Demon Hunters sing along in theaters.

I'm a baby Stay so I don't own any band light sticks. But I do have my SeraMyu stick!

We were in NYC to see the Sailor Moon Musical and didn't see one rat. We were kinda sad about it cause it's part of the experience. Lo and behold as we were leaving one rat popped out next to the tracks as if he knew we were waiting for him.

Ladder stitch to close up a waistband.

Going to choose a closure so I can adjust it to wear at high waist and natural waist (and when I want to eat a lot) 🍴

I like to clean up between projects. That includes the carpet so the next work-in-progress doesn't get a million little things stuck to it.

This is the fuzzy fabric and pet hairball from two corsets and two pets wandering in here.
