My mother tried to get me to read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon for 20 years. So after it aired on Starz, I quit resisting my mother and read the first book. I was hooked! Hooked on the show and hooked on the novels (which took two years to read). I love the character of Claire […]

Why I Blog (Well…Why Not?)
I want to start the new year by reintroducing myself and why I’m here. By the 12 month milestone, my blogging peers have followers in the thousands, fill their calendars with sponsored posts, and hustle like nothing I’ve ever seen. Me? I’m just getting warmed up. I’ve been blogging for about 16 months now. If […]
Costuming a Senator from 300
About two years ago I joined a fitness/costume group that gathers once a year at DragonCon in Atlanta. My husband, being the supportive gentleman that he is, joined the group about a year ago. I had planned on making an Immortal costume for him but I just couldn’t get it together in time. Instead I […]

Costuming Ursula (Concept) from The Little Mermaid
There’s something about a good villain. Particularly a villain that still makes a statement decades later. As I’ve tended to gravitate towards costuming villains (and…), Ursula from The Little Mermaid really appealed to me. I’ve seen some spectacular Ursula cosplay at DragonCon and on the internet. This young lady was my inspiration for costuming Ursula, however […]
Costuming Dana Scully and Fox Mulder from The X-Files
This may come as a surprise to those who know me well, but The X-Files is my favorite show (yes, even more than Star Trek TNG). I idolized Dana Scully and even named one of my dogs after her. Fortunately, costuming Dana Scully and Fox Mulder was easier than getting dressed for work in the […]
