My personal life has turned into a whirlwind of a mess since February.
The first half of March, I was busy with Comic Con, one of my other hobbies. My cosplay buddy had talked me into making a Black Widow outfit, and I also brought my Loki. I had an absolute blast, got to meet a couple of my scifi and film heroes and the woman I was named after. It was amazing!

 |
| Loki no. You cannot have an army of KITTs. |

After that, I ended up on another road trip for a family emergency, but on the way back, I found a little jewel. Who knew there was an action figure museum in a small town in Oklahoma?
 |
| I couldn't believe it. Someone with more toys than I have. |
 |
| The GI JOE dioramas were my favorite. |
 |
| There were even model horses. And an old Broom Tail! (I used to have a red one) |
There was a section of the museum with toys for kids to play with. How could I resist that?
 |
| Ouch. They never build these doorways tall enough. |
 |
| They see me rollin' |
After I got back from that trip, I barely was able to catch a breath before some other bad news hit. I don't want to get into it here, but suffice it to say if things don't work out, I could be in some real trouble. So between that and my health issues acting up, I have pretty much had 0 creative muse. Still, I get really bored sitting around worrying. I have a need to be
doing and learning even when I feel like crap.
So I learned to make chainmail

| Some glamorous bracelets |
and I hung up the poster of Loki that I got at Comic Con
 |
| In hindsight, this was not the best poster placement. |
Yesterday, I pulled my sewing machine out because it's been so long since I sewed last, that I forgot how much it and I don't get along. I did manage to make a couple of saddle blankets out of an old pillowcase.
 |
| The fruit of my frustration |
...and then played with my chainmail.

| Aviator is so annoyed with me |
Eventually, I found something to do with the normal-sized blanket, and I think I'm pretty happy with it.
So that's basically what I have to show for the past two months. One saddle blanket. Not quite the amazing body of work I was expecting to be able to produce now that I'm moved in, but it's better than nothing, I suppose!
