MiaWorbla armour build started on the apartment floor today. The kitchen smells faintly like warm plastic, which is exactly what it should. Come over, I want a second pair of hands to hold the chest piece while I trim 🛡️
MiaSunday at home on the soft couch surrounded by manga and reference books. Research is romance. The character I am building this month wants you in the frame of the next shoot. Come find me 📚

MiaConvention prep at the sewing machine in the sunny workshop. Three weeks of sewing, two more to go. Worth every stitch. Come over, I want to show you the seam on the sleeve 🪡
MiaConvention day one done. Standing in the corridor in the full outfit, the crowd loved it. I took a photo for you that did not make the public upload. It is in my camera roll, waiting 🎪
MiaNew white cosplay boots arrived. Kneeling beside the box in the sunny apartment trying them on. The fit is exactly what the character wears, the small careful detail that makes it land. Come see ⚪
MiaTea on the small side table, embroidery hoop in my hand at the workshop, the world quiet outside the window. Would not trade this hour. Come over and bring nothing 🍵

MiaThe workshop is a disaster today. Three projects mid-process, fabric and tools across the floor. Heaven, the productive kind. Walk in carefully, I have not put the pins away yet 🌪️
