It’s that time of year! There’s a chill in the air, the houses are lit, Episode VIII is coming out this week – that’s right, it’s CRIMMUS TIME!

I’m busy with a couple of holiday commissions (spoiler – Kaylee bags!) from my Etsy shop, and I’m almost done with everyone’s gifts. Nothing like waiting to the last minute. Between that and taking care of the new kitten it’s been hectic, but joyful.

For 2018, I have a lot of things in the works – a couple of new costumes including Hero!Rey from TLJ, and a new one for a group at DragonCon (sorry – that one’s secret). I may have one new one for Gally as well! My event schedule is already piling up and I can’t wait for the new year! And this year will be the year I finally remake my Peggy suit (or else!), and hopefully my laundry list of costumes I need to finish! I also hope to do more commissions in 2018 – depending on the real job. I just got a promotion this past month so my workload has already increased, but it’s still manageable. Anyway, here’s hoping! I can be optimistic, right?

No matter what you celebrate, I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Yule, Happy Kwanzaa, Merry Festivus (for the rest of us), etc… Be good children, or the Krampus will get you.

Whether it’s Star Wars, Marvel, Doctor Who, historical fashion, bag making, or the occasional quilting project, I love exploring the intersection of creativity, craftsmanship, and nerd culture.

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, and join me as I share works in progress, finished projects, lessons learned, and the occasional sewing mishap along the way.
