Another day, another protest, another reason to be proud of my state. We are stronger than this. We will not give up. We will not give in. Love Minnesota! #iceout #shutitdown #minnesota #protest #generalstrike

Crafters gotta do what crafters gotta do. #iceout #shutitdown #minnesota #protest #generalstrike

Since ICE began terrorizing my neighborhood, I’ve been terrified of leaving my house; I’m so glad I did today. Extremely proud of my beautiful, diverse, welcoming state. Minnesota Strong! Yeah, sure, you f-cking betcha! #iceout #minnesota #minneapolis #protest

Just finished this fun, fringe, upcycled sweater just in time to see Wicked. Love that the ticket taker took one look at me from across the room, grinned from ear to ear, and greeted us with a wink and said, “I know what movie you’re going to.” #Wicked #elphaba #wickedwitch #upcycling #crochet

My favorite look from the latest Frankenstein movie had to be the wedding dress, of course. It was just such a beautifully tragic visual. #guillermodeltoro #netflix #frankenstein #monster #cosplay

I adored Elizabeth’s wedding sleeves; such a stunning homage to the story’s iconic cinematic history while still feeling organic & unique. So I took an old pair of crocheted gloves & some discount holiday ribbon and got to wrapping. #guillermodeltoro #netflix #frankenstein #wedding #gloves

Absolutely loved the costumes and visuals of the latest Frankenstein film! It was such a gorgeous feast for the eyes! Had so much fun raiding my closet to come up with these looks. #guillermodeltoro #netflix #frankenstein #monster

Saw others doing it, so decided to give it a go. So pleased with how he turned out and just in time for the theater release. #kpopdemonhunters #kpopdemonhuntersjinu #jinukpopdemonhunters #happymeal

So proud of my state! Such a beautiful day for democracy. #nokings #protest #wethepeople #minneapolis #minnesota

Gearing up for the big day. Can’t wait to see everyone out there! Just please remember: it’s flu & covid season and large crowds are hotspots for transmission. Please do what you can to protect yourself & others. #nokings #maskup

I did my best. I tried an embarrassing amount of times to get a good shot that showed off how it sparkles in real life, but this is the best I could do… #iamnotaphotographer #imsorry

Love the idea of dressing up for Oct 18th & Luffy feels uniquely - if a little ironically - apropos. Can’t wait to set out. Here’s to seeing an awe-inspiring sea of people, all marching for freedom, justice, & the promise of a better future! #onepiece #strawhats #luffyonepiece #cosplay #nokings

It tickles me too much make my rebellious-as-hell, fight-the-power Straw Hat jolly roger sparkly as fvck! It’s gonna break my heart to ruin it and start all over again. Take a breath and trust the process, girl! #cosplay #onepiece #strawhats #luffy

Silly, little #silksong #hornet cosplay that I did while my husband played the game. & while I made silly, little bug sounds back at the screen. #hollowknight #videogamecosplay

I am now battle-ready! Cannot wait to lose my voice at the #kpopdemonhunters theatre sing-a-long. I apologize in advance because I’m gonna be loud and I’m gonna ugly cry. #kpopdemonhunterszoey #kpopdemonhuntersderpytiger #cosplay #cosplaygirl

Had a great time at Panda Fest Twin Cities. Long lines, bit pricey, but tasty food & fun!

So happy I got to bring a piece of my current obsession home with me. I love him! #cvg2025 #kpopdemonhunters #derpythetiger

Another amazing CONvergence. Had so much fun & cannot wait until next year. But, for now, this body is tired! #cvg2025

So here is my CONvergence 2025 lineup! Thurs: Monarch of the Mimics - Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss Fan Panel - 10:00 PM. Fri: Abra Macabre - You Don't Have to be Good - 12:30 PM. - Making Art w/o Monetary Motivation - 5:00 PM. - That Didn't Go Well... - 7:00 PM. Sat: D20’s Box of Doom #cvg2025

Finished my Monarch of the Mimics costume just in time! Such a fun last-minute project; there were so many teeth. Did I pick a #brennanleemulligan quote just to hear him say he loves my monster? Hush, let me have this. #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #ttrpg #cvg2025 #mimic #monster #monstergirl #cosplay

St. Paul, Minnesota No Kings Protest #nokings #protest #minnesota #goodtrouble #riseup #keepfighting

Just about a month until the convention, so of course I needed to start my obligatory last-minute, unplanned costume. Hey, finished my Mimic Belt, so we’re on our way. Just need to do the Mimic Girl dress. Let’s go! #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #ttrpg #mimic #monster #monstergirl #cosplay #cosplayer

Finished my Occult Magical Girl: Abra Macabre! So fun to finally see it in all her sparkly glory. Masquerade balls need to come back so I can have more reasons to wear this. #blood #bone #occult #magicalgirl #masquerade #skelleton #queen #macabre #spooky #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #beadwork

Finished my Reign of Blood Dress! So. Much. Tulle. I made sure to overbuy so I would have enough. Used all of it. I am so floofy. But, ya know, in a regal kinda way. #blood #bleeding #spooky #fashion #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

All these Blood & Bone accessories definitely make me feel like some Grimm Fairytale princess about to, for better or worse, meet her fate. #blood #bone #grimm #fairytale #skeleton #spooky #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #beadwork

Sometimes I step back and look at what I do from an outside perspective and creep myself out. Oh well. Sometimes you gotta make a mess before you can create cosplay.

Gauntlet at the Garden inspired Constitution Save with savory caprese cannolis! And a purely decorative, non-cannoli-related half-eaten everything bagel & lemon yogurt for… reasons. #dimension20 #dropout #adventuringacademy #constitutionsave #gauntletatthegarden #fanfood #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

My Box of Doom cosplay was on Dimension20?! How?! Wha?! OMG! THE Rick Perry noticed me! I’m done #dimension20fanart #dimension20 #dropout #crafting #crafts #cosplay #cosplaygirl #cosplayer #dungeonsanddragons #dicebox #ttrpg

I loved watching the cursed girls from #Dimension20 #titantakedown. I know they weren’t an official team but I think they could take down Big Z and the God Squad! They may be part animal, but they’re all party, baby! #dropout #mythology #monster #wrestling #cosplay #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

St. Paul, Minnesota Hands Off Protest #handsoff #protest #minnesota #goodtrouble #riseup #keepfighting

I love the idea of making the monstrous marvelous. I appreciate the people who cannot stand to look at me in these costumes as much as those who stop and stare. I feel like both reactions mean I’ve done my job well. #cosplay #cosplaying #cosplaygirl #costume #cryptid #monster #monstergirls

Finally finished my Bleeding Heart Ribcage Bodice! So happy with how it turned out. I wish the camera could capture just how much it sparkles. I cannot wait to wear it out! #bleeding #bleedingheart #ribcage #skelleton #spooky #monster #monstergirl #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #beadwork

Progress check on my Bleeding Heart Ribcage Bodice. Finally finished with the front, individually stitching each bead & sequin. Whew! #bleeding #bleedingheart #ribcage #skelleton #spooky #monster #monstergirl #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew #beadwork

Here are my #dimension20 cosplays. So wish I could be at the NY Live show. Can’t wait to see what everyone has ready! #dimension20fanart #dimension20cosplay #dropout #fantasyhigh #acofaf #misfitsandmagic #boxofdoom #cosplay #cosplaygirl #cosplayer #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

Really tried to finish this Bleeding Heart Ribcage Bodice before the 19th, but didn’t quite get there. But here’s my progress so far. Follow me, if you want to (eventually) see it in all its shiny, beaded glory! #bleeding #bleedingheart #ribcage #skelleton #spooky #monster #monstergirl

Reposting my Arachne Queen video. From such humble, carbonated beginnings! So pleased with how it turned out. It was so much fun to run around the con in! #cosplay #cosplaying #cosplaygirl #costume #spider #arachne #monster #monstergirls #sewing #sewersgonnasew #craft #crafting

Made a video for my Medusa cosplay. She is one of my favorite figures from mythology. I wanted to give her justice and allow both her beauty & terror to shine through. #medusa #mythology #monster #snake #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #crafter #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Made a video for my Disney’s Fantasia Centaurette. Made out of plumbing parts, pillow stuffing, and a lot of secondhand velour sweats. Still one of my favorite costumes to run around a con in. #disney #fantasia #centaur #centaurette #mythology #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #sewing #crafting

Made a video of my Corpse Bride cosplay. It was also my Lore Olympus inspired Queen & King of the Dead Wedding Dress. Cause, of course, I got married in costume. #corpsebride #halloween #wedding #bridal #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Made a video for my Ursula cosplay. She’s one of my favorite villains. Strong, smart, savvy; what’s not to love? #disney #villain #disneyvillains #ursula #thelittlemermaid #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Made a video for my Harley Queen cosplay. Harley Quinn is gleeful chaos personified. She may not always be good, but she always deserves the best. #harleyquinncosplay #harleyquinn #batman #comics #dccomics #villain #queen #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Made a video for my Bowsette cosplay. Stole my Iron Bull axe for it, since it felt appropriate. I may or may not have smacked the heck out of my phone during filming. Opps. #Bowsette #mario #nintendo #videogames #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafter #craft #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

My friend really loved the idea of a Mario-themed wedding, but couldn’t make it happen, so we did a group cosplay with this Bridesmaid Yoshi. We even made go-karts, but I left mine at the convention. #yoshi #mario #gokart #videogames #bridal #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafting #sewing

Next batch of Palm-Sized Pokemon: Vaporeon & Smoliv Someone requested Vaporeon in my last video and Smoliv is one of my friend’s favorite Pokemon. Kinda love these for small, between-cosplay projects. #pokemon #plushies #sewing #crafting #vaporeon #eeveelution #smoliv #shinypokemon

Made a video of my Anna of Cleves cosplay from The Six. I love her so much; her song is just so much fun! #thesix #thesixmusical #musical #broadwaymusicals #theatrekid #theatre #annaofcleves #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Made a Crown of Blood & Bone to go with my Blood on My Hands Gloves. And, yes, those are Christmas ornaments cozing up to Halloween decorations & Mardi Gras beads. #blood #bone #spooky #horror #halloween #christmas #crown #queen #wig #costume #crafts #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew

Here’s my Stranger Things Demogorgon Queen cosplay. When I first wore it, a stranger came up to me & told me I would haunt his nightmares …Thank you, I think? #strangerthings #demogorgon #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #monster #spooky #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaygirl #crafts #crafting #crafter #sewing

Finished my beaded Blood on My Hands Glam Gloves. So. Many. Beads. But worth it in the end, I think. Now to make the dress and rest that goes with the costume… #blood #beadwork #gloves #spooky #crafts #craftiness #crafting #sewing #sewersgonnasew #bloodonmyhands
