DIY Miss Minutes Loki Costume

Hi there!

Since Halloween will be here before you know it, I wanted to hop on to share a Halloween costume I made a couple of years ago for when we went to Oogie Boogie Bash, which is Disney California Adventure's (aka "DCA") yearly Halloween party!

I'm not the biggest Marvel fan, but I do enjoy some of the movies and Disney+ series.  With Avengers Campus being a new addition to DCA that year, I decided to dress as Miss Minutes - a character from the Loki series on Disney+. I had a feeling that many people would dress up as the different Loki variants (and they did!), so I thought Miss Minutes was a great choice for a more unique character.

DIY Sofa Table

I'm back! I always have the intention to come back & some-what regularly post on here because I do actually miss it, but between doing craft projects, Halloween costume-making, home DIYs, working a full time job, and going to Disneyland, I'm either too busy or too tired or just simply forget since I'm not in the habit of blogging anymore.  I actually started writing this post in February 2021, but never got around to finishing it. Oopsie.  

But, since I last posted in January 2021, my DIY skillset has grown tremendously! I have since re-done 2 rooms by removing the popcorn on the ceilings, removing carpet, installing luxury vinyl planks, installing new baseboards, repainting, and re-doing the closets! The last 1 1/2 years have been such a learning experience and I'm so happy with what I can do now.  My next project will be doing all of those things (and more!) to my bedroom and I'm excited to get that done!

Anyways, so I'm back with a big DIY.  Or at least, for me, at the time, it was a big deal. A few summers ago, during the height of quarantine, I built my first piece of furniture from scratch and I'm here to share what I've learned.  It should have been a fairly simple build, but in my true fashion, it wasn't so simple for me. LOL  Here's a sneak peek of the sofa table I built!
(staged it in my hallway! I want one too, now!)
