Pavlina: Life is Not For the Living

Well, I was going to call this a costume and sewing update but that would require me to have done muchly non-costume sewing as of late which was no good. Really, I don’t know where the time goes! So I won’t even go into the more recent costumes, I’ll rehash the OLD costumes I was [...]

New Costume design!!!! Ah, the promise that is a new costume! There is the figment, then the idea, the sketch, the colors, the fabric, the trim, then the very long but oh-so-worth it constructions process!

Oh [...]

So I said lastly I probably wouldn’t go to the steampunk ball at Balticon 43. Well, I think I changed my mind. I love the steampunk and the thougtht of going to a BALL with like minded peeps gives me the shivers! wowza! I already said one of the main reasons I didn’t want to [...]
