I made a Derpy Tiger costume for Halloween! I wanted to make a masquerade-inspired look and I think I nailed it!

One of the best parts of being an artist is being able to draw dumb stuff when it pops into your head.

I have no idea where my brain came up with this. But it exists now.

If you’re tired of going to restaurants just to have your family stare at their phones while waiting for the food to arrive, I’d like to share a tradition my family started doing ages ago that my husband and I continue today:

We bring a tiny deck of cards with us everywhere! We started playing gin rummy, but have recently branched out to playing Koi Koi, which is a Japanese card game played with hanafuda cards (Nintendo made these cards before they made video games!). There’s so many different card games out there, and most decks will fit in your pocket. It’s way more enjoyable to go out to eat and play together than to just sit there and stare at our phones. And this works with all ages! We started with simple games when I was a kid and worked our way up.

So many people will come up to us and ask what we’re playing. I think people just forget that you don’t have to be bored together while waiting for food.

It’s our 5 year wedding anniversary today, so I thought I’d share some of the fallout photos we took for our engagement photos because they’re awesome 👍

Here’s a sparkly cicada fairy costume I made for Halloween last year! I made the headpiece, wings, necklace, and bracers myself!

Hey tumblr. I’m back. It’s been 6 years. But I’m avoiding Meta apps after TikTok’s ban and so I’ve returned to my roots.

“God dammit, Morty. I had to fix my portal gun with hot glue and paper mache! Do you know how shitty paper mache is, Morty?!”

Tiva isn't thrilled about the new kitten...

We’ve all seen the top image floating around Pinterest and Tumblr. The world seems to believe that this is a baby alpaca. I can guarantee that this is not a cria, but a very awesome needle felted creation likely made with alpaca fiber. The bottom image is of a month old Suri Alpaca cria. Don’t believe everything you see!

With the release of the new Fallout Cinematic, I wanted to share this photo of my super amazing boyfriend who has been obsessed with Fallout forever. He’s going to kill me for putting this on the Internet, but the dude is in love with Bethesda (and yes,that is the special watch from the virtual reality vault )
