Throwback Thursday: Queen of Hearts

It's Throwback Thursday! I'm finally letting go of this costume (and a few others) to make some space in my wardrobe, so I thought I'd share one of its sillier moments.

Completely by accident I made this "stained glass" effect in the window when I put up some fabric as a temporary curtain! I love how it turned out...

Announcement: Webstore

I have a fun announcement today! And some questions for you.

I'm finally getting a storefront set up where I can sell you my old costumes, garments, etc. - as well as some of the things I've made (tiki shirts, various crafted items, etc). And some of my cool nerd collectibles that I don't have room for anymore (but that I love a lot and don't want to just donate to charity where they may get trashed by someone who doesn't appreciate their provenance).

In the interest of keeping ...

Nosferatu

Maybe I'm sleep deprived but to me this is the funniest / best thing ever. Should I do a series of movie poster spoofs? I feel like... yes. Yes I should.

FAQ Updates

Looks like it's time for an update!

Ive also taught sewing in the past (although I dont have any students at present). I owned a brick & mortar bookshop for 15 years that I managed personally, and I have a tiny bookshop in Michigan now where someone else manages the day to day.

New Headlights (intro tier)

Some of you are already acquainted with my 2015 Challenger ... my beautiful baby is in good shape overall but she sometimes needs repairs! Today I had to pull out the drivers side headlight so I could find the part number to order a replacement. I love driving but I'm not the best mechanic... fortunately this task isn't too difficult. I'm so grateful that I live in the internet age where I can just order the parts!!

Im probably not going to post about it in my public socials, but I wanted to share with my subscribers because you guys have always been really awesome and supportive and Im really excited about this.

Sword Maiden, Part 6 (mid tier)

It was... pretty cold in the woods actually. But totally worth it! I think we may switch to some corset photos for the next set, but it's been so much fun to edit these I had to give you more of them.
