I don't know how many people are still watching me but I'm back after a few years (I think it's been a few years.) from not posting. Long story short, cosplay is on hiatus as we focused on adding to our family. As of December, after two losses, we welcomed a son. I'm now a mom of two. I've recently picked up watercolor painting which I'll be posting on here very soon. We plan on doing a family cosplay with our 3 year-old daughter soon, Frozen lovers, I think you'll enjoy my ideas for our first family cosplay. But that won't be for a bit. Obviously having a almost 2 month old and a toddler keeps me busy. As does debt and bills. I'm a stay at home mom as of now (which is amazing but lots of work.) so cosplay has been on the back burner. It'll take a while to complete saving for the project I have in mind. The past two years have been tough as we tried for another baby. I won't go into details but depression kept me from sewing. I'm excited to jump back into the world of cosplay and to pick up some of my old favorite hobbies that go with it (beading and embroidery.)


So I promise there will be more activity soon. I'll be going through my followed list and groups and unfortantly be leaving some as my tastes have changed. I'll be focusing only on watercolor and cosplay for a while. I'll also be deleting old works and refreshing my profile to make it suit who I am now as a person and as an artist.


My husband has a degree in video game graphics and art design (whatever it's called, I have major baby brain!) and we are currently planning on a comic series! I'll be posting progress of that too later on. It's based off a novel I wrote waaaay back in high school that doesn't fit in the current book market so I agreed to let my husband draw it into a comic. I'll be painting and coloring some of the pages as well as writing the comic. He'll be doing the rest. I'm very excited to see it come to life. Right now we're in the VERY early stages of getting it ready. My husband just decided on a art style he enjoys drawing and that suits the story and vibe I've pictured. I cannot wait to show you the first character sketches!



As far as writing goes, I am toying with the novel I've been working on for the past 12 years. Still has some work to do, time isn't on my side. I really need to focus more on it. Anyway, I'll be posting my first few practice projects of watercolor soon. So thanks for sticking around or goodbye if you have decided to leave. It should be a fun year full of art!

Long post short, I gave birth to my daughter on the 10th of last month. She's such a joy, even if I'm exhausted most days. Because my body is still recovering form a crazy fast labor and my husband is back at work (I have four more weeks) I haven't had time to even sit down and think about what projects are coming next. Although I'm thinking something big with lots of beading. Aka, a ball gown of some sort. Other things like focusing on my novel and going through the process of buying a house are coming first right now. You can read more about my cosplay choices on my fb. I'll be updating there more often than here.

Check out my three part blog about how we constructed our winning Trinity Blood cosplays to how it felt going on stage in front of hundreds of people.

A ton of stuff has happened this month and since I now have internet again I'm going to be updating my account a lot more. This month has been insane. I lost one of my only friends in a car accident, I finally married my high school sweetheart of nine years and moved out. It's been a crazy month and I'm a changed person (for the better). I'm going to be focusing a lot on original writing pieces and cosplay. But mainly cosplay. I have a lot of awesome projects in store that I'll be starting at the end of the month. I won't be writing fanfiction for now. My focus is on pursuing my writing career. Which does come before everything else, including sewing. I'll be doing some pretty neat things soon, such as making custom aprons (for work) and lots of cosplay, starting with Lacie and Levi from Pandora Hearts. My big project that I'll start soon after that is Ozma from Return to Oz. Yes, that creepy movie from the 80's. I can't wait to get started on the project. I've already started to collect beads for Ozma's amazing gown. I'll be posting more on our cosplay page, the link is on my profile.

I haven't been on here in a long while. Honestly I've lost interest. But as I'm doing more crafts beside cosplay I'm going to start posting a bit more. All cosplay process will be posted only on my cosplay page instead so my page won't be so cluttered. Instead I'm only going to post finished pieces. This year is super crazy. I'm getting married in August and am focusing all my spare time on that and my novel. No cosplay process will be started for another month. We are doing a huge secret cosplay project which you can find info on my cosplay page (links all over my DA.)

I'm currently getting more into beading and jewelry making. So I'll be posting a few little projects now and again, mostly wedding related for now. I'm also going to clean my watch list. I just have too many groups and people I am no longer interested in. Hopefully I'll be able to post more soon.
