Every once in a while, when shopping at antique stores, you run into a little gem. #Marvel #xforce #Deadpool #antiques #cable #marvelcomics

I have been up to LEGO as my coping skill lately. The roller coaster I have been building is starting to come together and I have cleaned some things up and added a bunch new theming. 🥰 #lego #afol #moc #rollercoaster #jellyfish #lego3in1 #botanicals #seadragon

This may take a while because of a lot of competing interests and responsibilities, and the pattern base is complete. #captaincarter #peggycarter #marvel #marvelcomics #whatif

Cosplay is so amazing, interesting and fun. But sometimes making a cosplay can have some seemingly boring parts, 🤣. No one ever seems to share these. Like ripping duct tape and adding it to the maniquin to start patterning, 🤣. So here is the boring stuff. #cosplay #bts #captaincarter #marvel #wip

I'm starting a new cosplay. 🥰

Fun day with the kids. I found two more Wonder Woman comics for the collection, some older comics, and an amazing sale on the Captain Carter shield. 🥰🥰🥰 #wonderwoman #captaincarter #actioncomics #dccomics #marvel #peggycarter

I had to avoid masses of people this weekend, but I did make it out and sometime one shows up at the right place at the right time. Someone was just throwing these away. My nostalgia kicked in and they have a new home. 🥰

HHS MESS: “1,000+ current & former employees of the Department of Health and Human Services wrote a letter to RFK Jr. arguing his leadership has “put the health of all Americans at risk” and demanding his resignation.” www.axios.com/2025/09/03/r...

Wonder Woman and other comics haul. It has been a while and well I was out of town and picked a few things up. For the non Wonder Woman comics I didn't pay more than 6 USD. #comics #comichaul #wonderwoman #starwars #dc #marvel #tomandjerry #gotg

LEGO Coaster update. I will be theming it with Disney Princesses. And I finally got it working. I have a lot more work, and I love the progress. #lego #moc #rollercoaster #Disney #disneyprincess #afol

When your 14 yo loves you, you get a Mushroom Sprite key chain. The Belle minifig is for the Disney Princess Roller Coaster. :)

The fantasy coaster is almost done. I added the last of the Midieval Town Square and a lot of minifigs. All that is left is to make and add Dragon to the name of the Coaster. #lego #afol #legomashup #legocommunity #moc #legoicons #legocreator #minifig #minifigs #dragon #rollercoaster

I may delete this later, and I am done with religion. Not necessarily God, but definitely religion.

No secret. I like comics. Though I am fairly picky. And now my office is complete. Captain Carter Jane Foster Thor Dreamer Absolute Wonder Woman All first issues, all graded 9.8. 🥰 #marvel #marvelcomics #dc #dccomics #agentcarter #Thor #janefoster #Dreamer #nianal #wonderwoman #absolutewonderwoman

The mermaid tank is installed!!! #lego #afol #legocommunity #moc

I made the mermaid dive tank for my fantasy coaster esthetic at work. This is my own creation and I love it. #lego #moc #mermaid #diy #afol #mermaiding #legocommunity #merfolk

Maleficent had been added to the Dragon Coaster scene!! OMG she fits sooo well. Goodness, I feel like ai need a million more minifigs. LOL #lego #afol #legocreator #legocommunity #legoesthetic #rollercoaster #dragon #dragons #viking #midieval

Um, cosplay? YES, Please!!! I have been trying to motivate on a Yasha cosplay for a while now. And I think this might just be the one. I can't wait to see her weapon. 🥰 #cosplay #yasha #yashanydoorin #criticalrole #critroll #mightynein

Maleficent (dragon form) is complete. I can't wait to bring her into the office to add her to my fantasy coaster theme. #Lego #afol #legocommunity

Tiny LEGO sorting. 😆

Ok I got a little obsessive this weekend. I had the vast majority of the things needed to stream and for the first time I joined a LEGO build tiktok stream. 🤯 The first few were a little wonky and now I am all set for the next time, lol. #Lego #streaming #afol #viking #vikings #legoideas

15 bags of Viking Village goodness. 🥰 #lego #afol #legovikings #viking #vikings #bricks

Yep. We do it all. #writing #indieauthor #author #booksky

Oh, I am going to have way too much fun with this. Unleash the dragons (and other fantasy monsters) and let the theming commence. #Lego #legocreator #legocoaster #legodragon #afol #wip #fantasylego #midevillego #vikinglego

LEGO Coaster is now in the office. I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to theme it. Right now it will be viking or mid-evil/fantasy. Dragons will certainly be a part of the scene. This is by far my favorite set!! #LEGO #legocoaster #afol #legocommunity #dragon #dragons #legodragons

I love treasure hunting and thrifting. Who knew I would find thread that works sooo well with my Ariel fabric?

All that is left is the bow!! The apron is made, the petticoat is under the dress, and I found a shirt that works beautifully with the character!!! #sewing #cosplay #belle #disney #disneyprincess #beautyandthebeast #wip

After ripping and sewing 3 times, I finally got the invisible zipper to work!!! I am so excited!!! All I have left is to hem the dress and it is done and I can move on to the apron and bow!! #sewing #invisiblezipper #cosplay #Belle #disneyprincess #beautyandthebeast #wip #disney

Whew, I still get tired easily. But it is so fun to swim with my little guy. #mermaid #mermaiding #guppie #mermaidlife #finfolk

Don't ask me how I managed to make the example of the invisible stitch last night (brute force). But when I went to use it for real, it didn't want to work any longer (I ordered the wrong foot). :( The new one is on its way. But here is the progress from last night. #sewing #sewingfail #cosplay #wip

First try at a hidden zipper. I am very nervous to do this for real on the dress. Deep breath. 😬 #cosplay #Belle #Disney #disneyprincess #wip #sewing #hiddenzipper #invisiblezipper

Belle cosplay progress. I have the back of the dress pinned up (hopefully I'll sew them together tomorrow). It is really starting to look like a provincial Belle dress. 🥰 The next big step will be the hidden/invisible zipper. #cosplay #wip #Belle #Disney #disneyprincess #sewing #beautyandthebeast

I am done for the day. I remade the front of the top. While not perfect, it is much better than before. I also have half of the bottom pinned on. If I can get the other bottom half cut tomorrow, I will then have the hidden zipper to contend with. 😶 #cosplay #Belle #wip #sewing #disneyprincess

I have been working on a new Belle cosplay based on the dress from my previous one. And now I need to redo the top shell. I made some mistakes (got the facing correct) and I just can't live with it. #cosplay #sewing #Belle #wip #sewingfail

Someone (and I dont know who) used my fabric scissors for cutting something other than fabric. 😢 They mostly cut but there are some spots where they roll the fabric :( 😭😭😭

It's not the #PWHL #NYSirens but I just couldn't pass it up!! 😍😍😍 #hockey #hellokitty #hockeyjersey

I decided to make a new Belle cosplay this weekend. Is it cheating that I am using my old cosplay as the pattern? lol I will have to learn how to sew a hidden zipper and a facing, neither of which I have done. 😬 #cosplay #Belle #wip #disneyprincess #beautyandthebeast #diy

Time to fight back against my youngling in #artfight @farinscoolstuff.bsky.social

It has been a long time since I bought a deck for one of my younglings. And well, here we go again with competitive Pokémon, LOL. #Pokémon #pokemontcg #dragapult #pokemon

After experiencing an unfortunate convergence of gravity and ground, the Space Academy has been resurrected (less the telescope). #Lego #Legofriends #afol

Oh my goodness I LOVE my steamer to get the wrinkles out. I wish I had done a before and after and this Star Trek dress looks amazing. I'm not sure when I will cosplay Deanna Troi, but the dress is ready. #cosplay #startrek #tng #deannatroi #trekkie

Double barreled cast iron cooking. When did I become competent?!

So Jodi Benson is coming to a fairly close con in September. I am thinking about going as a Ariel in the new tail. And I just ordered an Ariel Lorcana card for an autograph. lol A girl's gotta live life a little. 🥰🧜‍♀️ #ariel #littlemermaid #jodibenson #cosplay #mermaid

A $26 thrift find!! And over all it is nicer (more beat up, but nicer) than my Singer. #janome #thrift #thrifting #sewing #cosplay #cottagecore

Two happy and one unfortunate. I added the mermaids from Pirates of the Caribbean to the chase scene, Captain Carter gets the motorcycle and Captain America is on the ground, and Draco has been added to the Battle for more than Hogwarts display. #lego #legoscene #legodisplay #ladieslego #afol #moc

I am really considering disengaging from the news for a while. Things have just been overwhelming. The amount of hate being peddled right now is approaching Jim Crow levels. People are literally dying because of radical ideology. And entire groups of people are being treated as less than human. :(

Proud momma moment ... just saying youtube.com/shorts/ZKeHf...

It's a holiday, I have the younglings and what do we do? Go to our local comic and game stores :). This was my haul today. #Marvel #marvelcomics #strangetales #doctorstrange #nickfury #fantasticfour

Low key sad. I was planning on going to a con to meet Wil Wheaton and thank him for his mental health advocacy. The plan was to cosplay Deanna Troi. Well that con is this weekend and not the next. :( it's been a rough couple of days. Pics of what I ordered for the cosplay and of the character Troi.
