Family visit with Dad

I got to go see my dad and Connie for our holiday gathering 2018. I rode along with Patricia, Yusuke, and Ash, and we met Lindsay and Mike there. Much fun was had!

My salad: not that adventurous.

Mike’s good with that ice cream.

Gifting is serious.

Madhouse of gift-giving!

Clearly enjoying the presents!

So wonderful to watch Fred and Kathy get married! I was honored to be invited and it was a beautiful ceremony. (And a yummy cake.)

Completed Garnet Costume

2018, Cosplay, Holidays, ,

Sadly a very important element of my Garnet costume, the Gemstones, did not come in time for my Halloween party. I’d purchased them from an Etsy artist and there was a shipping glitch. They even tried to get the Gems to me with rush shipping, but it didn’t make it in time. It was not a huge deal though! I appreciated their effort. 🙂

Here for the first time are some “complete” Garnet poses. I hope I can use this costume for a convention next year.
