We just got home from FC to fresh snow in Seattle! It has been a very mild fall and winter, so this was a surprise. But we love snow so we are excited (now that we're home with no mishaps of course).

FC was a blast, it is definitely my favorite con. I met a bunch of awesome people, hung out with good friends, and of course suited, danced, and just had a great time! One of the reasons I love FC is San Jose itself. Nice weather, easy travel for us west-coasters, and great food options. I actually thought the new location was pretty good. Not the Fairmont of course (that was an awesome conspace, sniff) but at least for those in the Marriott I thought it worked out all right.

One highlight was Saturday's Masquerade. I've never done that before and I hardly ever get on stage for anything, so I was REALLY nervous, but it turned out great. People laughed during my skit and Evergreen won first place in the novice class! That was exciting ^^ I got a little acrylic bone saw, it's pretty rad. I can't remember the last time I won something!

Anyhoo, now that we're home I'm excited and inspired to get back to work. Through March will be really busy with some commissions :) After that I have an auction partial to finish and a pretty complex suit I'd like to finish for AC in June. I'm making that one to test a bunch of new (to me) techniques, so it should be fun!
