Anya informed me that their 4th grade school performance was to be a 50’s/60’s theme. She actually gave me a good month head’s up to let me know about it. I think she is finally getting clued in that I […]
Costumes
Part of the fun of making costumes, whether for cosplay or Halloween, is that I like to try new things to make them more authentic. In making the Connor costume for Kai, there are LOTS of new things to try. […]
If you follow my blog, you know that I made Anya an Elsa costume in April for a Wizard World comic convention. She was a hit at the convention, with much pictures taken of her with little girls and other cosplayers. […]
This year we made the disastrous judgment call to go to the Renaissance Festival on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. It was the only day that it looked like it would not rain, and we also got there a […]

Brian and I went as a pirate and a vampiress to our adults only Halloween party on Saturday. My costume was just pieces from costumes I had in the past, and the only thing I had made was the black […]
All done! Can’t you just see me doing a jig?? Kailan loves his costume and doesn’t want to take if off once it is on…so it took me awhile to get pictures. His pirate pants are made out of a […]
