New look, who dis?
I finally gave the website a redesign. I think I’ve had the old one up since 2017ish (maybe earlier), which is kind of wild when you think about how much the internet has changed since then. The old layout did its job, but it started to feel clunky and harder to navigate as I added more content over the years. So I decided it was time to clean things up. The new layout is a lot more organized.…
Life + Sewing Updates
I keep falling off the planet, it seems – I know my posts tend to revolve around DragonCon, but I am actively working on something for 2026. I’m learning a lot of new skills, too. Soldering, working with lighting/fiber optics, rigging up mini smoke machines, resin casting, you name it. Also, in my defense, work has been stressful and super busy as of late. That on top of Rodeo winding down and…

Surviving DragonCon: 2025
Following my Pre-Planning post…We’re 30-ish days from DragonCon, and this may be your first year going! Never to fret, Dragon is the most nerd-friendly place! Get ready to hang out with 80,000 of your socially distanced newest friends! Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is busy – and HOT. Several things are going on in town that weekend, and with these tricks, you’ll do just fine. 1 – Pre-Plan:…
DragonCon 2025 - I need a hero!
30ish days until con, TIME TO PANIC!!! (Or like the Guide says in big friendly letters, DON’T PANIC). This, of course, means time to get serious, if you haven’t already. As of this writing, attendance is being capped, and very limited day passes (especially Saturday) are going to be sold – day passes go live Aug 1. Remember, all passes must be purchased online. No more on-site registration –…
Costume Write-up: Fallout Vault 42 Dweller (Medic)
Now that DragonCon has come and gone, I am finally able to do a proper writeup for my vault dweller. To be fair, I’ve been dealing with Con-Covid and then the busy season at work, so it’s been a lot since I got back from Atlanta. I even had to cancel the second trip (for runDisney), because of said covid. 😦 For the write-up itself, I’ve tried to include as much information (and links/sources) as…
Surviving DragonCon: 2024
Following my Pre-Planning post…We’re 30-ish days from DragonCon, and this may be your first year going! Never to fret, Dragon is the most nerd-friendly place! Get ready to hang out with 80,000+ 65,000 of your socially distanced newest friends! Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is busy – and HOT. There are several things going on in town that weekend, and with these tricks you’ll do just fine. 1 –…
DragonCon 2024 - Crawl out through the fallout, baby!
30 days until con, TIME TO PANIC!!! (Or like the Guide says in big friendly letters, DON’T PANIC). This of course means time to get serious, if you haven’t already. As of this writing, attendance is being capped and very limited day passes (especially Saturday) are going to be sold – day passes go live Aug 1. Remember from last year, all passes must be purchased online. No more on-site…
I feel like this is all we ever talk about...
Oh, what’s that? We have how many days until DragonCon? 75!? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt… Well, I guess that means we’re talking about it again. I’m working on a couple of costumes for con this year, including one I’ve been wanting to do for ages. I’m finally working on a vault dweller – the show re-lit the fire in my heart for Fallout, so I’m going all in. Unfortunately with not being able…

I did the thing!
I have been granted the rank of Master (unlike Anakin)! Reflecting on my academic journey I am filled with a mix of emotions: Pride, excitement of being finished, a touch of nostalgia, and being a bit at a loss. The last two years have consumed an enormous chunk of my life, and I find myself not knowing what to do with my free time. I’ve had a routine, and now it’s suddenly over. This adjustment…

Just Keep Swimming...
My cap topper – May ’24 Sitting here surrounded by beakers, pipettes, and the constant hum of machinery, I can’t ponder my journey through graduate school. Days blend into nights, and weeks fade into months, all in pursuit of that master’s degree. Amidst the chaos of the lab, there’s a glimmer of hope. The promise of completion and the chance to finally take a breather. Graduate school is often…

Just Pick Already!
Decisions, decisions...
I’ve started packing for DragonCon and wouldn’t you know it – I’m wanting to change my costume lineup AGAIN. By this I mean I want to drop a couple of things, and MAYBE finish a new one in their place. I say maybe because it’ll be a lot of work and I have 9 days before fall semester starts. I have a few new costumes I’m bringing (ok – I made them back in October), so those are staying. I have a…

DragonCon 2023 - Once More With Feeling!
It’s the REMIX! We’re getting down to the four-week mark (yeah, yeah – I missed 30 days), so you know what that means, TIME TO PANIC!!! (Or like the Guide says in big friendly letters, DON’T PANIC). This of course means time to get serious, if you haven’t already. As of this writing, attendance is being capped and very limited day passes (especially Saturday) are being sold. New for this year…

Running for Starlight!
Running for Starlight! What have I gotten myself into? I believe it's jogging. Or yogging, it might be a soft J. I'm not sure...

I'm still here...Promise!
Convention season is in full swing – and that means I’m sewing! Or rather, I should be. Seriously, though. All of my free time of late is being dedicated to sewing – costumes, bags, etc. I feel like I’ve been a bad blogger for staying more active online. I promise, after Dragon*Con and my husband getting back from Afghanistan some time in September, I promise you’ll get sick of my posts. Not to…

Changing designs Mid-Construction - Cadance needs a makeover!
Cadence right now Normally I try not to do this when I’m building a costume or outfit. Especially if it’s mostly complete. But I’ve done it this time. I’ve changed designs for Princess Cadance. I like the idea of a formal dress but it’s looking so….lackluster… at the moment. I’ve decided to do more of a fit-and-flare dress! Surprise, surprise – I know. But it’ll be cute. 😉 MSPaint Mod I also plan…
