Me in a trumpet sleeve shirt and broomstick skirt both old thrift goth staples but the man in the store liked my outfit and the cat had to get in the photo and flash her torti muffin butt. There are also no child sewing pattern paper attempts on my messy floor, as you do.

I wasn't going to take pics of this pretty basic #goth ensemble but the man in the grocery store today said he liked my outfit. So here it is age old thrifts with bonus cat butt. πŸ–€

Spoke to my 5 year old niece on the phone & told her I was working on her Christmas costume.

"Thank you." She said.

Mapped out my niece's new sewing measurements on scrap packing paper to create a sort of a-line dress pattern. Mainly she's grown a foot so her previous Christmas costume needs a new extra ruffle. However with this I can also make more dresses from those 25 cent clearance yards! Onward #sewsky! πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ§΅πŸ–€

I made 80 mini sweet potato muffins they are so good! My secret is uncalled for nutmeg plus far more generous tablespoons instead of tsps of cinnamon & cloves. There's also that hidden cat hair ingredient but 🀫πŸ₯„πŸ–€πŸ€£πŸ’ͺ🏻😸

My goth girl self in orange and black with cat jewelry for my niece's Hello Kitty birthday party here on the farm with my mom total Italian nonna in the rocking chair. Somehow, we are all wearing black pants because that is always a sound fashion choice and everyone compliments my orange sunglasses.

My #autumn #goth attempt to blend in at my niece's Hello Kitty birthday party this weekend with amber cat paw print earrings & a marcasite twin cat brooch on my belt tie. 😸

Obligatory, "Oh yeah, you blend." 🀣

Pan, to the left, is depicted with goat-like legs and a beard; Eros, to the right, is shown as a winged boy. Between them is a palm leaf, the symbol of victory. The match's arbitrator is standing to Pan's left. He is bearded and dressed in a purple toga over a white embroidered tunic. His right arm is raised to signal the start of the match.
