Christmas Day happened at my mom’s house this year! Sister Patricia, brother-in-law Yusuke, and nephew Ash were staying with Mom. Sister Lindsay and brother-in-law Mike drove in to visit, and I brought friends Victor and Jeaux. Later Lindsay and Mike’s friend Ryan and Mom’s roomie David joined us.

We made cookies, had dinner, and opened gifts!

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.
