On April 25, Drew University's That Medieval Thing group will be hosting their annual MedFest event. In keeping with the tradition, the event will be held on the S. W. Bowne Hall (The Great Hall) lawn from 11 - 4. Come on out and enjoy a beautiful spring day, enjoy some great entertainment as the group performs their own play that will run over the course of the day, enjoy some good food, and maybe make a purchase from some of the vendors to help keep some small businesses going. The event is free to the public (no ticket/admission or parking fee). Simply drive onto the campus and you're in. Bring your family, and your pets.
Looking forward to seeing fans and friends there.
Huzzah!!

2025 has come and thankfully gone. The past year showed me a lot. It introduced me to amazing new clients, some of whom became friends. However, it also introduced me to clients who proved themselves to be entirely the opposite on all levels. Hopefully 2026 will introduce me to more clients who value my efforts and respect my work.
Currently I am working on new designs for designer-inspired garments, new cosplay-inspired pieces, and fresh looks. What would you like to see added to my collection?

Thank you to those who supported me during my surgical recovery. I'm back and excited to take in orders for the upcoming Halloween season. Yeah, I know it's early. But why wait until the last minute. If it's too early to place an order, feel free to reach out and brainstorm with me about a costume. Don't forget that Renaissance Faire season is upon us. A costume you order for the faire could do double-duty for Halloween. Something to think about.

I would like to thank those who sent messages of support following my surgery last month. The procedure went great, and recovery has been going very well (according to the doctor). It'll take time before I'm 100%, but I'm excited to start working again, on a limited basis. If you're interested in discussing/collaborating about a new piece, or if you have questions about a current listing, feel free to reach out. My physical work might be temporarily limited, but my communication is 100%.

This coming weekend I will be working Drew University's annual Medfest event. The event will run from 11-5 on Saturday on the S W Bowne Hall lawn. The event will include professional performers, vendors, a talented group of college students performing their own play, and pub singers. There will also be food available. This family and pet friendly event has no admission fee, tickets, or parking fee. Simply drive onto the campus, park your car and enjoy. Looking forward to seeing fans and friends on Saturday.
I will be selling a lot of items that you will not see on my Etsy page. With Mother's Day quickly approaching, this would be a great time to find that special gift.

It's taken some time, but I recently came up with some new cosplay variations to offer. Does anyone want to venture a guess at what characters they are, or the movie/show they come from?

12 years ago, today my Etsy shop opened its doors. Since then, I have worked with so many great people, learned so many things that have helped my shop progress forward, and had so much fun. I look forward to working with many more clients, making more friends, and watching my shop grow even more.

Hello all.
As many know, for the past 10+ years, I have been working a small medieval event on the Drew University campus in Madison, NJ. This year the annual MedFest event will be held on April 6th from 11a.m to 5p.m. on the S.W Bowne Hall lawn.

As always, the event is free to the public. There is no admission or parking fee. Simply drive onto the campus, park your car, and you're in. The event is family and pet friendly. So, bring the kids and your fur-baby for a fun day out. The event also hosts several vendors, a food vendor or two, and performers.

If you're a costume enthusiast, feel free to break out your garb.

Come on out and enjoy the day.

Looking forward to seeing some followers and friends.
