A Little Nightmare for your Christmas
I was brainwashed with the world of Disney pretty early on in life. I remember carrying around a really ratty old Mickey doll all the time even though he was missing his nose and wanting Mickey everything up until I was 8. My Disney obsession came and went over the years, but once I returned to Disneyland as an teen and adult, it was back. I’m now at a point where I got to Disneyland at least once or twice…

The Ugly Sweater Dilemma
For the past few years now, it seems like the big thing to do during the holidays is have an “ugly sweater party”. It’s even a bit ironic that the ugly sweater is no longer the horrible gaudy sweater that your grandma gave you, but one that you purchased from a store (Urban Outfitters anyone??). Anyhow, I have nothing against this trend, but as I was thinking about the fact that I don’t actually own any old ugly sweaters, I…

Zombie Pumpkin Speed Carving
Well, I guess it’s about time I made a youtube video. I’m not talking about clothes or crafts though. This one is a speed carving of the zombie pumpkin I did a while back. Yes, Halloween was soo last month, I know. I’m actually quite embarrassed to be putting myself on youtube land, but I had a heck of a time carving this pumpkin and wanted to take advantage that I captured most of this on video! Enjoy!

New Cosplay! Adventure Time with Female Finn
Even if you’re not familiar with the awesome cartoon known as Adventure Time, pretty soon you’ll come across the weird and adorable characters from the show. I was initially only going to make a Finn hat for fun, but ended up making the backpack and putting together the whole get up just in time for Halloween. You may ask why I did a female Finn cosplay instead of just being Fiona? Well, I’m not sure. Maybe I will be Fiona…

Zombie Face!
This year for Halloween, I decided to be Finn by day (pics to come) and a scary zombie doll by night. I had never experimented with special effects makeup before so I was really excited to give it a try. The only things I used in this look were scar putty, face paint, and regular eye shadows. Using scar putty was definitely very cool although the brand I got was super duper sticky and not that easy to mold. And…
