About me:

I'm one of those geeks you have heard about. Came out of the geekery closet like 10 years ago. I love my video games, computers, podcasts, costumes, books, ect. I was born in California and raised half my life there and half of it in Georgia. I lived in FL for 5 years, now I'm back in GA.

If you look around here something you probably noticed are the costumes. That is my hobby. Somewhere along the line I found out I like to sew and make things. That's what I do now, when I am not being lazy. I really enjoy making ANYTHING I see. There's a freedom in wearing what you created. I've been at it for 10 or 11 years now.

I also make things for real life like baby clothes for the nieces and nephews, fall jackets, curtains, blankets, special occasion dresses, floor pillows, aprons, scarves, ect. Made a bit of my regular clothing too.

I harbor love of nature. Seriously, leaves and the sky, and petals on flowers are wonders. Even watching what little ants are up to is of interest.
I also have a love of things gothic and ornate. The swirls and gilding on simple items show such care in their making.


I write picture blogs so if you go in there, expect to be bombarded with pictures.

Who I'd like to meet:

    Hahaha! It's totally cool. A lot of people can't recognise me in my costumes. :3 Which is a blessing most of the time with stalkers, but kind of a curse with people I know. xD I wore Trish for ya! Thanks for letting me borrow your guns ^_^ We gotta get some Trish/Female Dante pics eventually before I hang up my Trish costume now that Reuben signed it.
