Finished my Tifa costume and ended up popping the top arm band showing the air force I can do pull ups, so I'd say it was a successful FanX this year

Really earnestly trying to finish Tifa before FanX in a week and a half

Heidi posing in front of a bathroom mirror wearing a nearly complete Tifa costume. It includes the skirt, suspenders, cropped tank top, and arm guard.

An in-progress glove being sewn. It's made of a black material that looks like leather, but it's not. Don't sew your own, it's too hard. I bought gloves after I spent a day trying to make my own. The one I made on my own is beautiful (in effort) but ill-fitting

The glowforge at the Daybreak library. It's a laser cutter

A piece of EVA foam laser engraved to look like a small bit of plate armor on Tifa's glove. The foam is white, but I'll paint it to look metal. Displayed on the back of my hand to show the size fits correctly

Giving myself grief attempting this skirt again! One day this Tifa outfit will be finished 😭😭

The pocket sewn onto a flap that will eventually be attached to the skirt. The pocket has beading and rivets, which were very difficult to sew in!

The renovated roof at the Main Library downtown is officially open! The bees are back, the weather is fantastic, and it's great to see people enjoying this space again

Many guests walk around the roof of the library, which has paved walkways, trees, and a colorful bee mural.

Caught Utah Opera's recent performance of Madame Butterfly! This rendition was reframed by an all Japanese or Japanese-American creative team. The performers, costumes, set, and everything were so incredible! Got the chance for some photos with the cast ♥️

Three costumes used in the production, displayed on mannequins. The opera was reframed as a VR game, so the costumes combine traditional Japanese styles that would suit the time period with futuristic elements

My manuscript is officially off to an editor and all my pent up crafting energy is releasing in the form of up cycling sweaters

Made my February pilgrimage to the book store to make sure I'm reading something current! I know Circe has been out for a while, but Butter is new and I'm enjoying it a lot already ♥️

Two new books on a coffee table. One is Circe by Madeline Miller and the other is Butter by Asako Yuzuki. A jasmine boba tea and a purse made to look like a cup of boba tea are on the table next to the books

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisher’s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their book’s title once, ‘neath the crescent moon.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Thanks to the American Library Association Core forum for inviting me! I had a great time with everyone talking about the difference between what AI is marketed to do and what it actually does (at least LLMs and image generators) and where AI companies source the data they use to train their models!

I always thought the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota was something Weird Al made up for his song but I found out (this year!) that it's a REAL THING. There happened to be a work conference in Minnesota this year so I made sure to take a detour to see it
