I got a new YCH, from my favourite artist @mintyroot.bsky.social! My beloved Okaasan Mendingheart now can strut!

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Just finished today my latest historical sewing project. A quilted waistcoat (jumps). It's entirely assembled, quilted & finished by hand (no sewing machine!). Made of 100 % cotton block print, 100 % cotton batting & 100 % linen lining. Sewn with linen thread & bound with cotton twill tape.

I now have my own animated OC with the Equestria flag! Isn't she a beauty?

Chose my own Mother's Day cake. Not a typical cake but eh! that's the privilege of choosing myself! There's probably 10 000 calories in that stuff but I don't care. I deserve the best.

My own OC is now ANIMATED! Thanks to Minty Root who accepted the commission for it. Her name is Okaasan Mendingheart and she's a cute pegasus! Please contact Minty if you want to have your own OC animated!

Peaceful Sunday afternoon with Celestia and Luna!

Had a wonderful surprise yesterday. A dear friend came to visit and ask me to be his stage costume maker for his upcoming musical project. An hommage to Ghost. The stage costumes are somptuous, it will be so fun to create similar models for my friend. And a great honour for me to have been chosen.

Had a weird dream last night. I had been invited to an MLP convention and I had decided to bring our youngest cat with me to present her to the crowd. Gee-whiz. Celestia is a cutie but darn she's a handful. In my dream she was trying to run away from the hall.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

In the upcoming days, I will vicariously follow the activities of the HarmonyCon convention. Why? Because it's way more fun to see happy people, cute little ponies, vendor halls and panels than seeing political scandals and pictures of politicians. One needs all the happiness possible. 🦄

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Work in progress! Started today a new 18th Century clothing project. A pair of jumps from around 1750. Made with block print cotton from India, a layer of cotton batting and a pure linen lining. It will be quilted and assembled by hand. Project might take a few months to be completed.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Ok, I love the new Starfleet Academy series. Chancellor Ake is an endearing character from the first minute she appears on screen. And it's so good to see the Doctor again!

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

What I highly value about bronies conventions is that they make my feedline more positive for a couple of days! Everytime! Instead of seeing horrible political news, I see people smiling, drawings, plushies, crafts, pure joy and hope. Definitely, bronies make our planet a better place to live on.

Wish I were at Ponyville Ciderfest tonight to support my son Minty and his community as they mourn and remember their beloved friend IronCaptain19. May she fly among the stars. 🐴🐎🦄🦓

The boyfriend always says he's "not" a Trekkie. He didn't know much about ST before knowing me. However... I was watching Lower Decks and suddenly he asks: Hey, how come they're in trouble again? Don't they have that thing that protects the ship from shocks? The static warp bubble? Yeah, that thing!

Ok. Further to a "report" I saw here on Bluesky about Star Trek, I'd like to point a few things. I'm a Trekkie. Since childhood. It is my favourite TV show. All of the series. I'm a woman. I cherish democracy, free speech and freedom. I am thankful beyond words everyday for being a Canadian.

According to Wikipedia, today is Beverley Crusher's Day, character being born on October 13th. At the Québec ComicCon last weekend, actress Gates McFadden reminded us of this fact. An amazing actress.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Yesterday at the Québec ComicCon we had the wonderful surprise of discovering that Gates McFadden speaks an excellent French. She and John De Lancie delighted the crowd with filming anecdotes and facts. They were both kind and took time to answer questions from the crowd. A wonderful day...

Rewatching ST Discovery Season 3. Episode when Philippa Georgiou meets Carl, the Guardian of Forever, and crosses the threshold to the Mirror Universe. Carl makes me think a lot of Jenkins, in the Librarians. The language, manners and gestures. Maybe it comes with the profession of guarding forever.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Worked hard over the last days to sew a mid-18th Century corset, totally boned (86!!!). Made with a slightly modified JPRyan sewing pattern, partly sewn by machine and partly by hand. Made of linen, with buckram interlining. Made it with front lacing because chambermaids are pretty hard to find.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Rewatching Star Trek TNG episode "Half a Life" with the amazing David Ogden Stiers and Majel Barrett. I'll be 60 next year. It hits closer to home than expected.

020

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I rewatched tonight Star Trek Discovery. I love that show so much... I hope to see as many of the original actors as guest stars in the upcoming series Star Trek Academy. They are all dear to my heart.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

My son Minty brought me back a wonderful present from the Everfree convention. A sleeping mask featuring Fluttershy eyes, from the amazing boutique of artist Gleamy. What a beautiful mask! I love Fluttershy so much!!! Now, with the mask, I can give people "the stare", just like Fluttershy!

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

OMG! It's been a long time since I laughed outloud like this, until my ribcage hurted. Tonight's Strange New Worlds was hilarious. I don't care if it's canon or not, or if Gene Roddenberry would have approved the episode. It was funny like hell and I enjoyed it!!! Superb performance of the actors!

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

I watch Star Trek in English, with the English subtitles. It helps me follow the dialogue. Last week, I noticed that in Voyager, when the Doctor speaks, the person in charge of the subtitles identifies him as "Zimmerman". Just like in TNG, when O'Brien is already identified on the first episode.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Currently watching old Battlestar Galactica episodes. How funny to see how much the period at which it was filmed reflected on the clothing and decor. Episode on Equellus featured a woman wearing clothes highly reminiscent of Laura Ashley fashion. I'll never stop loving scifi.

I finished today a small 1830 bonnet project. Made of cotton lawn and cotton entredeux. Entirely sewn by hand (without any sewing machine). Pattern is #11 from Auntie Keebie's Caps. The shirring around the crown as well as the front ruffle were made using the traditional needle wrapping method.

It was a beautiful finale for Resident Alien. All that love... I will miss dearly this excellent series. I was lucky enough to see Alan Tudyk last year at the ComicCon. He's awesome, a very charming man. I hope he'll get new filming projects soon.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Currently re-watching TNG "Ship in a bottle". It would have been nice to offer closure to Dr. Pulaski just by a simple sentence from Moriarty: "Where's that delightful doctor to whom I served tea and crumpets many years ago"? We could have learned what had happened to her after leaving Enterprise.

If you're at @canfurence.bsky.social 2025 next weekend, I'm hosting the brony panel. If you're a fan of the show, or even just curious about why we like the show, come check it out!

My old Trekkie heart enjoyed beyond words seeing a certain tartan on a certain engineer as formal uniform. And a certain gold on red circular pattern on isolation suits in sick bay. All these small details...

While at the ComicCon last weekend, Brent Spiner made a hilarious speech about pickles, saying that the Moishe's were the best. Saw a jar at the grocery, couldn't resist. We shall see if they're the best!!! 🤣

Another historical sewing project completed. A cotton chintz printed petticoat like those worn around 1750. Entirely sewn by hand (without a sewing machine). It has slits on both sides (to access the pockets which are on a separate twill tape). The fabric is modern but with patterns like in 1750.

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Tonight it's a rerun of the Star Trek TOS "The Menagerie". I've stopped counting how many times I've seen this 2-part episode since my childhood. However, one can never see this episode with the same eye once you've seen Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Spock's loyalty is perfectly understandable. 🖖

So, it's June again and as always, I renew my ally status to the LBGTQ+ Community. Stay strong, people. Last year, at my request, my son modified my OC to add the ally flag to it. I cherish it. My OC is named Okaasan Mendingheart. Okaasan means mother in Japanese.

En ce jour de la Fête des Patriotes, il est bon de se rappeler que malgré le triste sort réservé à nos 12 patriotes ainsi qu'aux 58 exilés aux basses terres d'Australie, JAMAIS personne n'a réussi ni à nous soumettre, ni à nous faire disparaître. Nous sommes québécois et le demeurons.

Asked Minty Root to assist me with my hair, since I cannot use my right arm, due to my accident. According to him, I now have a bow like Moon Dancer. That's what happens when you ask a bronie to do your hair... 😊🦄🐴

Thalie la Muse (Nathalie Gélinas) @thalielamuse.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

I am still very annoyed by this marketing idea of adding an ad banner at the bottom of screen during the opening credits of a TV program. It hides the name of the actors, special guests, producers and workers. It's a total lack of respect for the artists. AI is NOT the only problem of the industry.

I did my duty and voted today. I chose to vote strategically instead of for my usual party. Unfortunately, the candidate was totally unknown so I couldn't vote for him. So I voted consequently to make sure that the two well-known candidates don't win.

Days of Grace... The Manoir Mauvide-Genest is interested in having one of my creations for its Summer 2025 temporary exhibition about noble women of the 18th and 19th Centuries. I'll send one of my "bonnets piqués" that the ladies of this era were wearing when with good society. I am thrilled!

That's weird. Was watching The Librarians and the bleeding crown and the scene where they are put in some torture booths features the same exact visual effect than when Michael Burnham was put in the agonizing booth in Star Trek Discovery episodes Terra Firma. Exact same colours of the "flames".

During WWII, women were encouraged to get out of their kitchen to go and work in factories, while men were at the front. After the war, they didn't go back to their kitchen. The place of a woman is wherever she feels good, appreciated and confident. Let no one tell a woman where she should be.
