Officially, one of 4 costumes is now finished and a second is on it’s way! Last night was quite productive.

On Monday I flew out to CA for work, I almost missed my flight, waking up at 5am instead of 3:30 as planned but somehow made my 5:45 flight thanks to being packed the night before and Ryan driving me to the airport. I had planned on working on the flight but couldn’t VPN the …

Then I spent the evening saturday finishing up my nephew’s …
