Ran out of PlastiDip, tried to order more in bulk, but they want more than twice per can than I pay per can. I’m buying multiples of the single instead. Weirdness abounds. My helmet is looking better, I think I’m going to paint soon. Hubby wants me to decide which character I am doing, but…

General update July 5
We are still healthy and working. There are new regulations every week, and sometimes every other day there is something new, but we are hanging on. We are both looking at alternative income streams just in case the store closes, but we have a month or 2 before that could happen (PPP loan). We have…
Cosplay Helmet
Sanded the edges of my helmet today and put it together. Mixed up my 2 A pieces and glued them wrong. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. See why I’m not happy with the way this worked? Had to cut those 2 pieces out of the helmet. Contact cement is no joke,…
Exercise Update
Missed my kickboxing yesterday, I had to work 🙁 Ended up taking the day off from exercise because my back has been killing me lately. I’m feeling somewhat better, but it still aches. Hopefully it will keep getting stronger and quit hurting! Been doing my Beachbody 21 Day Fix. Finished the first week, and started…
Cosplay 2
Waiting for my wood/foam burning tool. Says it’s out for delivery. Cut out the pieces for my helmet today. Need to work on my blade sharpening skills, the knife isn’t cutting as easily as it should. Got my burning tool tonight! I’ll play with it tomorrow.
Cosplay 3
Did some playing with my rotary sander today. Only played on scrap foam, didn’t work with my helmet pieces. I will play with my burning kit tomorrow, unless it rains. Got my heat gun, I’m all set. Just need lots of practice!!! Probably going to need more foam, too. I need to look around more…
Exercise – 9Round
Been doing a lot of core work this week and my lower back is killing me! JP from 9Round kickboxing has me doing sit up during the intervals. I don’t think I’ve written about this yet. 9Round kickboxing is basically circuit training with a trainer. There are 9 stations and you do 3 minutes at…
Cosplay Beginnings
Hubby got me a sanding tool to use for smoothing the foam seams. I’m excited to play with it tomorrow! I got the sander, but it rained all day, so I didn’t get to work on it. My first project is a basic mask/muzzle. I only had foam, contact cement, sand paper and an exacto…
June 16 Exercise
I did the Terrain Race, a lot more upper body strength needed! Swinging from bar to bar, climbing ropes, flipping tractor tires, etc. Need more pushups! The Shamrock Run in March was canceled due to Covid. They had it virtually last month, so I still got my medal! In addition to doing the kickboxing, hubby…
Getting back into the habit
As you can tell, I got out of the habit of posting. I am going to get that habit back. I have started new journeys, and I need to journal my journeys 🙂 My mudrun/workout journey is still going on. I started kickboxing at 9Round, and it is so much fun! I get to hit…
