I think I finished it 2 days before Christmas, and that was with the intent of wearing it to (what I thought would be) a cold Christmas with the beau's family. So why an adult size onesie? Well, I … Continue reading Totoro Kigurumi

He broke his iPad case earlier this year and never got around to … Continue reading I Mustache You to Hold Something

Not going to lie, this challenge was tough, especially in addition to my costumes. I've gone through some weight fluctuation this year, and my … Continue reading Top 5 of 2014: My Wardrobe
Kupo! I was super excited to see this month's Monthly Stitch theme: geek out! I've been thinking about making a moogle hoodie for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity.
