This year for Christmas I was a busy lady between sewing some things and Cricut-ing others. I can’t actually name what I made here because I don’t want the recipient to know what is coming their way. Honestly I wish I was this organized in my office/crafting space, but it currently looks like a mini tornado hit. I am the creator of all the chaos, but that is besides the point.
A crafters work is never done though so its wrapping time and look at the beautiful bow we will all pretend I made. I have more holiday posts in the works, and hopefully I can get them done before Christmas is over. And if I don’t, well then Merry Happy Whatever You Celebrate!
Ironically I took these pictures before I had to leave my house due to an impending hurricane back in the beginning of October. Luckily we didn’t have any damage but spending so much time in the car I am off road trips for a while! And hurricanes, but I have more control over the road trips than the weather.
I am sure there are some quotes out there about weathering a storm or something but today is not the day to go searching for that. I will however tell you to live every moment to its fullest because you never know when a storm will hit (I mean a proverbial storm not the predictable weather type).
Every year before Fantasy Faire opens they send out a Panic Flamingo. This year I thought why not be the Panic Flamingo? So I held open auditions and only told myself and the only other competitor, the coffee flamingo. I started off strong with the pink feathers and offering of refreshments. I did make a misstep when I referred to the role as the Panic Chicken instead of flamingo. I don’t know why my brain wants it to be a chicken so bad!
My second mistake came during the question and answer round. The question that got me into the most trouble was “What would you do to help motivate creators”. The coffee-mingo said something about encouraging words and fresh coffee on demand. A very diplomatic answer I guess, but would that really motivate them? My answer caused a bit of an uproar and phrases being tossed about like “creating a hostile work environment”, “You can’t assault creators” and “You need to leave…Now”. All I said was that I would pelt them with day old scones if they were slacking off. I mean all the hard working ones would get fresh pastries and tea, or coffee I guess. So my dreams of being the Panic Flamingo were dashed, but read on because I may have gotten my revenge.
You see after my crushing defeat and swearing never to pull a stunt like this again I was approached by these little fellas (fellas being a non-gender specific use here). They told me if I wanted a sneak peek at all the Fantasy Faire happenings and maybe a idea of what the realms will be they have the hook up. It will only cost me some waffles and wootberry syrup. Now waffles are easy to come by, even I know how to make them, but I was troubled by the wootberry syrup. Was is faire slang for some illegal substance, was it just a flavor I had never heard of before? In the end I just mixed some blueberry, strawberry and maple syrup together and presented it with the waffles. They seemed will to tell me where to get the information so now I am sharing with you. And no it’s not because I am petty.
We got a little sneak peek at the cold winter we are to expect here in the south last week and let me say it makes me want to hold tight to fall (I mean I do have a little bit till it’s officially winter). I will however happily trade pumpkin spice lattes for peppermint mochas. Of course, I don’t have to miss out on seeing geese because in theory because this is the south they fly to in the winter. I have already seen a flock by the pond near my home.
Every once in a while I decide to sort the chaos that is my inventory and I end up styling a look I just have to share. This is one of those times. Did any one else just read that in the “Law & Order” voice? Just me? That’s cool. Anyway I was playing with the blazer and trying to figure out what would look good under it when I saw the corset and well the rest as they say is history. I shoved the photos off to my silent partner to edit to his hearts desire so if you don’t like them it’s his fault. I am only kidding, don’t blame him!
If it weren’t for the wedding ring I would say I look like the main character from a Hallmark movie about a busy city girl trying to find love in the fall. I am none of those things though so…yeah.
I promise the Barbie blond and pink combination will be out of my system with this last post. In all fairness it was supposed to be posted two weeks ago, but someone took a spill and hurt themselves. Graceful I am not, so here we are two weeks late with my final Barbie inspired look.
Blond hair and pink are not my favorite things if we are being honest. In my non-digital life my hair is usually a shade of purple or a berry red color, never blond. And well I haven’t been a fan of pink since primary school (nope not telling you how long ago that was). Anyway here I am with my vacant Barbie stare. See ya later!
For a change the photo came before the song lyrics, it just popped into my head as I was taking the pictures. I feel like I am missing a pumpkin spice latte in this picture, but since I really don’t like them it’s okay. I will take a peppermint mocha though.
I look a little sad, or maybe pensive? I am not really sure, maybe it’s my Mona Lisa moment?

If you have seen the new Cruella movie then the title makes sense, if you haven’t then ummm watch it and figure it out? I will admit I have had this idea floating around for over a year and finally took pictures so if items are no longer for sale I am sorry. I am feeling like my psychic powers were sort of spot on when I took this picture. Again referencing the movie here. Seriously if you likes Maleficent then you will most likely enjoy Cruella too!
No puppers were harmed in the writing of this post.
It’s Puppy Day today! Sadly SL is the only place I can have a puppy since in the non-digital world mini me is allergic to dogs much to her dismay. I found this pose buried in my inventory and I just couldn’t resist using it. Besides it reminds me of “my” puppy. Okay so he’s not really mine, nor is he a puppy, but I still love him from afar. That however is a story for another day!
