Handler team FTW!
Our great trooper crew, and of course, the incomparable cheerleader himself, .
Meanwhile, BB-8.1T was caught by one fan, peering through the gate (the droid, not the fan)…

I had a fabulous time last night “handling” our troopers from the Wolfpack Garrison with my fellow Rebel Legion & WG teammates. Perfect weather (until it wasn’t, but that was later 😂). & his crew are wonderful to work with. 10/10. And check out Puddles Pity Party, the clown has a voice to die for 😘

Parade #2 today, in Faribault, Minnesota for Faribault Heritage Days. A beautiful central MN town that we look forward to visiting again. We lined up at the county fairgrounds, meeting other groups who had also driven down after this morning’s parade. My eldest padawan went from morning Lt. Connix to evening trainee Droid Driver, learning to make the do its thing. Despite the weather and today’s terrible events, thousands of people turned out to have a fun and memory-making day with their families. SO MANY excited (and many very entertaining) reactions to all of the Star Wars characters and “Robot Car! Mom! MOM Hey, it MOVED, did you SEE that??? It’s a ROBOT!” 😂😆🥰

First parade of the day/year! St. Louis Park Parktacular Parade, as part of our local Star Wars clubs. At a balmy 58F today, with more than a hint of dreich, it was well suited to October.
This is also the first parade with the ‘s new stepper motor setup, and it worked brilliantly, after spending an inordinate amount of time getting everything to line up with it’s not-really-round components.
Parade #2 is coming… just have to drive down there first 😁

This morning was a troop at Children’s Minnesota Minneapolis campus. It’s always great to hang out with The Dude, and see just how much the kids adore his show. It’s a great break from their individual daily experiences. I am always grateful for the chance to bring something a little bit exciting to all of them, even if it’s only through a screen (CM is REALLY good with keeping the kiddos out of germs’ way).

May the Fourth Be With You!
Today was the day to take my eldest to see Rogue One on the big screen for the very first time. We met some of our friends outside The Parkway Theater! (I will be trooping tomorrow for Children’s Hospital St. Paul, today was a family holiday) 🥰

Just an update today - things have been really busy in Life, and projects haven’t been that exciting in the working phase. Rest assured, there is a BIG one coming to the point where it WILL be interesting to post WIPs (I’m looking at you, Star Wars people).
In the mean time, enjoy today’s vintage MN North Stars pendant thrifted just prior to this photo.
Then more machine embroidery practice, scary alterations to my mother-in-law’s bunad, and the first upholstery gig I have attempted, in trade with good friends.

Hey everyone, you know I don’t usually post things that aren’t “mine”, but …
This is Lucky, a dear old friend of mine, AND an award-winning costume by a Star Wars costumer friend of mine.
Grummgar needs to stay out in the world being seen. Julian needs the room for his new passion project, and Lucky is the man to wear Grummgar in the world (he’s also a legit stunt person, so is uniquely qualified to wear this beast).

Unite for Charity, Community, and Creativity Help us Obi-… Lucky McQueede needs your support for Keep Grummgar part of Star Wars (Lucky's birthday wish! )

I spent Friday evening through Monday evening up at the , learning the basics of tablet weaving. Also, that I need to practice. Also, that pattern makers need to indicate their card orientation, not just the threading direction. And I need to practice.
