Fantasy Festival 2024

Fantasy Festival 2024

This year's Fantasyfestival is over, and I'm amazed at how this event keeps growing and being amazing every year! The visitor count was 15,000 people, which for Denmark is incredible. The was of course as always the main festival area within the library and the...

Gamescom 2024

Gamescom 2024

So Gamescom is over, and what an insane ride that was! There was both good and bad experiences, but thinking bad, it's all just a fond memory for me - even the bad things, that luckily didn't have any serious consequences and therefore are mostly just good...

My sewing machines

My sewing machines

Last month I bought a new sewing machine, and judging from the comments I got on Instagram, it's quite confusing why I would need more than one. So I thought I'd just write a bit about my machines, what kinds I have and what is the difference. I'll start with the most...

Fantasy Basel 2024

Fantasy Basel 2024

So it's already a few weeks since Fantasy Basel, and I thought it's time I make a little post about my experience! I was there was Zibartas Cosplays +1 - he was invited as guest and judge. We arrived early Wednesday morning and set up our booth. It's lucky we came...

Gamebox 2024

Gamebox 2024

Gamebox 2024 is over and it was an intense event, since I was there with Warcrafters and we had a big booth. I decided two days before the con to make a quick cosplay, which went about as well as could be expected. We arrived early friday to set up. This year we were...

Scificon 2024

Scificon 2024

Scificon is getting better and better every year, and I think this year went really well! Since I was in charge of the cosplay contests, I felt a bit extra pressure this time for it to succeed, but I'm happy to say that I felt that almost everything went as planned!...

Danish Fabric shops

Danish Fabric shops

In Danish, the word for fabric is the same as the word for drugs. So I often make a joke about that, seeing as I have a probably unhealthy amount of fabrics that I’m not sure I’ll be able to use in my lifetime. In my defence, some of it was inherited from my mom. But a lot of it, I’ll admit, I bought myself…

Mag-C 2024

Mag-C 2024

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Mag-C in Germany. The week leading up to the event was very intense, because Zibartas and I decided on last-minute con-crunch costumes. He already had his Mantis Blades done, but he wanted to make the rest of Sandayu Oda's outfit to...

Review: Funky Lenses

Review: Funky Lenses

As you may have noticed, coloured contacts has been part of my makeup box since pretty much my first cosplay. I don't wear glasses or lenses for vision (yet), so for me my first time wearing lenses was a bit of a nightmare. I think the first few times putting in...

Copenhagen Gaming Week 2024

Copenhagen Gaming Week 2024

A couple of weeks ago, I attended Copenhagen Gaming Week, which is a brand new gaming-oriented convention in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was really impressed by how well everything was run given it was the first year of the event. I attended as an invited guest and judged...

Merry Harry Christmas!

Merry Harry Christmas!

I already posted this on my Harry Potter-blog, but I thought I could share it here as well. I'm taking a bit of a break from cosplay this month to focus on making gifts and getting in holiday spirits! This was one of many projects - but some I cannot share, since they...

Koyocon Aarhus 2023

Koyocon Aarhus 2023

This weekend I went to Koyocon Aarhus as a guest. It was the first time this event happened in Aarhus and it was the biggest one yet. That meant there was loads to see - more dealers and more artist alley, more people in general. I met many old friends and talked to...

Huskylock 910 knife repair

Huskylock 910 knife repair

So last year, I replaced my beloved Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 910 with a brand new serger, because my Huskylock just wasn't running well. The dealer I bought the new machine from offered to take my old as a trade-in, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye to it. I bought...

Gamebox 2023

Gamebox 2023

Gamebox 2023 happened a little over a week ago, and it was really great! This year, the event was more focused on the LAN-part, which meant there were fewer booths and fewer cosplayers, but more people overall. None the less, we had a really great time, and our booth...

New cosplay: Astral Warden

New cosplay: Astral Warden

I finally finished my Astral Warden cosplay! And this time, I didn't take a year to make a write-up about it - it's on my page already. You can find it here or under write-ups in the topmenu. I also added photos of it to the gallery. This was a cosplay I started last...

Scificon 2023

Scificon 2023

My first event of the year was Scificon Randers. It was a good opportunity to finally push to finish my new Astral Warden druid, and I did manage to make it wearable - I finished it the day before the event. There are things still to change, but I'm happy with how it...
