PAX East 2014

PAX East 2014

I FINALLY finished editing all my PAX photos! The photo quality isn’t the best because I sort of underestimated how dark it was in there so some of them are a little grainy.

I also completely forgot to take photos of myself, although to be fair it was like two full days of overstimulation. Plus walking in that cupcake dress took a ton of concentration. I actually only lasted three hours in it. Whoops! Anyway, here is a photo stolen from a friend’s phone. We ran into the cutest family dressed in Firefly gear and Tiny Jayne lent Boyfriend one of his guns for the photo. And then I died of cuteness.

There were some really sweet cosplays happening. Like this guy.

This guy yelled at me in a Batman voice. It was awesome.

This is what I meant by “overstimulation.” We just sort of wandered around staring aimlessly at things.

PAX East 2014This was actually probably my favorite part of PAX. They had all kinds of board games set up and you could just walk over and sit down and someone would teach you how to play. We played Boss Monster (which I then bought because it’s’ awesome), Smash Up, and Ragnarok.

I’m a little sad we didn’t get to play this one. It has “Carson Cards”!!

This is also a thing that exists.

Our characters in Ragnarok. I think mine was the dude in red with the smashy hammer thing.

And then Saturday night there was the concert! First up was the cutest nerd folk duo, featuring nerdy lyrics and a cat keyboard: The Doubleclicks. At one point people started waving their DSs in the air, instead of lighters or cell phones. Hee.

And then VGO played and I basically died again. These guys are insane. Plus they brought in vocalists and some strings this time! And they did Skyrim. -ded-

Anyway, PAX was amazing. I’m super tempted to go to Boston Comic-Con in August and I’m already thinking up ideas for costumes. I REALLY want to do Elsa from Frozen even though I haven’t actually seen Frozen yet. (I know once I see it I’ll have to drop everything and make that one dress so I’m saving it for when I actually time time/resources to do so.)

Also Kaylee dress photos are coming as soon as these gorgeous pink flowers by this gorgeous reservoir nearby bloom. Hopefully soon!

Meet the Maker (+ snuggly holidays!)

wanted to post this one a few days ago but I was stuck without my laptop for a few days and for some reason WordPress wouldn’t let me log in on my sister’s but I’m so super excited to be featured over on Kollabora in their Meet the Maker series!! I was so giddy when they contacted me and may have had a bit too much fun with the interview questions. (hee)

In other news, yes I’m still alive! I’ve been buried under a mountain of Christmas knitting that I finally finished. Yay! Expect regular blogging schedule to recommence shortly. :]

I hope everyone’s having a lovely holiday! My day has pretty much looked like this:

Anyway, Merry Chreestmas everyone!

 

 

An interview!

Mitten beginnings

Hi guys! If you haven’t already, you should check out an interview I did with Lelie over at A Bouquet of Buttons! Thanks Lelie!

Also I think I’ve caught the knitting bug. I may have started yet another project. In my defense, it’s Christmas knitting which means it’s a gift and therefore selfless and therefore — ok I’m out of excuses. -_-

Ok, back to knitting! (I’m watching Monsters, Inc. while I knit! Box of tissues at the ready..)

 

Sponsor Peneloping!

Hi guys! This is an idea I’ve been toying with for ages but I finally took the plunge. I’m super excited to announce that I’m now accepting sponsors for Peneloping! 

Ads will appear on the right sidebar, right until where the social media icons are. I’m limiting them to three large ones and five medium ones so that ads will get more exposure.

For more details, just click on the Sponsor page!

PS Anyone who is interested in offering sponsorship on their blog but is put off by Passionfruit’s new monthly fees, check out Adproval! I literally had no idea what I was doing and they were super helpful and basically held my hand through the entire process.
