My sew/staycation is officially over, but I can't fully jump back into my normal groove without mentioning my birthday! I like to tease my family and say that all of January is dedicated to my birthday. Having a birthday just a week and a half after Christmas means that many times family meetups for the … Continue reading Birthday, birthday, birthday

Just a geeky gal spending way too much time at my sewing machine.
Kicking off 2014
Long time, no post! Completely accidental. I got completely sidetracked by visits to family over the holidays (my family and the BF's), as well as getting caught up on things around home. I really wasn't expecting any gifts this year. My family and I haven't really exchanged gifts in a while, so I was completely … Continue reading Kicking off 2014
2013 Wrap Up
As the new year steadily creeps up, I thought I'd take a moment to look back at some of my cosplay and sewing from 2013 and share some goals for the upcoming year. First, the 2013 breakdown. The Stats Costumes completed: 6 Non-costume projects: 10 Unfinished but still in the works: 3: Season 2 Korra, Ms. … Continue reading 2013 Wrap Up
Holiday Gift Sewing
I decided to sew a few things for various people over the holidays. Pretty much people that I have no idea what else to get them, so something handmade seems more appropriate than a giftcard or a hug. One of these people is my boyfriend's mother, who I will be meeting for the first time … Continue reading Holiday Gift Sewing
Tutorial Share: Nerdy Bow Clutches
I stumbled across the DIY Bow Clutch Sewing Tutorial a few weeks back. At the time, I knew I wanted to make one for my blue satin Cambie dress, but I wanted to try it out just in case I screwed up. I had just enough fabric after my pillow sewing marathon to test the … Continue reading Tutorial Share: Nerdy Bow Clutches
Tales from the Icepocalypse
Oh, "snow" days. Nothing takes me back to childhood more than a legitimate reason to hide out inside all day in pajamas. My neck of the woods got hit with an ice storm that essentially shut down the DFW Metroplex. We were fortunate to be in an area that didn't get hit with power outages, … Continue reading Tales from the Icepocalypse
On Wonder Woman’s casting
So the role of Wonder Woman has been cast for Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman/Superman (still untitled) film. As expected, there are a lot of strong reactions, primarily regarding Gal Gadot's physique. Seriously? Beyond the fact that this completely marginalizes Gadot as an actress and a woman, there are these awesome people called personal trainers and dietitians. Yes, … Continue reading On Wonder Woman’s casting
Pillow Patrol
Did you guys do any Black Friday shopping? I got so many e-mails about sales. It was ridiculous. It took soooo much effort not to blow my entire paycheck on fabric and cosplay supplies. I only indulged in a few things: a cute bowler hat, a blonde wig from Epic Cosplay (my first from them), … Continue reading Pillow Patrol
Marvel Macaron
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a happy holiday with loved ones. A little while back, I mentioned that was getting started on a Macaron dress from Colette. Well, I finished it in time for Thanksgiving dinner! I was so happy with how everything lined up for this dress. I bought a fun … Continue reading Marvel Macaron
Austin Comic Con Recap
Hey-o! So I thought I'd post a quick recap of Austin Comic Con, which I attended this last weekend. The ever-patient BF and I braved the elements to drive in for Saturday. It took waaaay longer than normal, since the rain was insane on our drive to the con. We also opted to leave earlier … Continue reading Austin Comic Con Recap
