Jasika Nicole Instagram – This Halloween costume is not a me made but rather an us-made collaboration between myself, my young friend @quinnofeaglerock and their amazing mom, @cyndiotteson . We have been neighbors for years but it was only in late summer that we started meeting up once a week for sewing lessons in my craft room so I could teach them how to sew their own scrunchies for their ice-dyed scrunchie business, and wow, both Quinn and Cyndi have been such amazing students! Their vision (which they illustrated for us!) was an Icecream demon of the mint chocolate chip variety, complete with devilish tail! I am endlessly grateful to Cyndi and Quinn for trusting me and letting me be a part of this process. I also gotta say that Cyndi and I are kind of a dream team together 💪🏼 Quinn very thoughtfully gifted me a special treat on Halloween as a thank you for helping with their costume, and I had never seen anything like it before. It’s a miniature bedroom in a box by @rolife_official that you build yourself (pretty much everything you need to make it included). I ended up putting it together in three days and it was absolutely *delightful*! I of course then went down a rabbit hole to see all the other products they sell and HOLY MOLY there are some really incredible themed miniatures that are absolutely going on my christmas list. Although I have always appreciated dollhouses, I wasn’t ever bit by the bug to build them myself, but now that I have made this one I can understand the appeal. I love the idea of smaller contained rooms/studios with everything you need right there (I’m not currently in the frame of mind to go ovaries-deep into purchasing stuff for a new hobby) and it was so nice to craft something that had such low stakes, divorced from my usual past times- it didn’t have to fit, didn’t have be the right color, didn’t have to be a certain style or “look good” or be functional- it could just be cute and fun and enjoyable. Which is also how I would describe Quinn, ha! We will be sharing a booth at the dec holiday market by @tablelosangeles so stop by and see us ❤️❤️❤️ | Posted on 04/Nov/2022 01:12:50
