Gift Giving

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I am one of those people who loves to find, or make, the perfect gift for people. And I am one of those people that shops year round so that by the time Christmas rolls around I have a mini stockpile of gifts. This tends to look like overkill to some.

And I will occasionally forget a gift or two need to add it to the pile quickly. Listen it’s not my fault I am forgetful and shop year round. There have been times that I have found Christmas presents in my closet months after. In my defense they were video game themed socks so they weren’t something “big”.

Now we are ready to kick off this holiday, not that we weren’t before. Now time to spread some holiday cheer with gifts and to make some cookies too!

Wrapping up my maker Christmas

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

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!

Happy Halloween

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Happy Halloween all you spooky scary skeletons. Or for those of you who aren’t in a place that celebrates, Happy Thursday. I will admit Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays because I love to decorate for them both. This year the yard is not as decorated as it has been in the past thanks to hurricanes and the fact that I did not clearly label my decorations so I have no idea which one has all my spooky decorations. I couldn’t let today pass with out some nod to the day so I went with a witchy vibe.

I think the scariest thing about this whole picture is that I am looking an arcane library looking for a spell to do something. Will it be something nefarious or something curative? Honestly I think it depends on whether I have had enough coffee to make me a nice person to be around. Speaking of that I should go and get more into me before I turn into a total ghoul for the day!

Fish, Chips and Call the Midwife

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

Recently I have been re-binge-watching Call the Midwife, mostly because I forgot where I had left of and decided to start over again. It reminded me that I had this look lurking in my outfits folder for a while. You see when I was sorting my inventory at some point I put this dress on and I thought it made me look pregnant, but pregnant in the 60’s. Now the Call the Midwife memory jog makes sense if you have ever seen the show.

Since the show takes place in England I thought fish and chips would be the perfect pregnancy craving. Maybe not the healthiest, but way more normal than some other cravings I have heard about. Ironically when I was pregnant in my non-digital life I craved certain things which ended up being some of my kids favorite foods. My first kiddo LOVES Reece’s peanut butter cups and Reece’s Pieces, while pregnant with them I always wanted a sundae with those toppings. With my second it was peach iced tea and Apple Jacks cereal, both of which that kid LOVES. Has that been the case with anyone else out there? Enough of my non-digital prattle, onto the credits!

When you have been in SL as long as I have and hoard all the things you can sometimes no longer find them. I am sorry about that!

Quiet Time

I wonder if there is any way I could get a little outdoor reading nook in the non-digital world. I am pretty sure it’s against HOA rules, but maybe if it’s hidden in the backyard. Just imagine sipping some tea or coffee while reading and there is a gentle rain falling.

It would just be so very peaceful.

Wintersong

I am just realizing that wearing fur right in front of a deer may have been a poor choice, but we will ignore that. I feel like some sort of glorious wintery magical forest dweller. I am sure if I did the research some culture has a being that looks like this, but I didn’t do that.

Here is just a better look at my horns and other little adornments that I was wearing for these photos. If you couldn’t guess from my pictures lately I have been playing with depth of field more and more. I promise not to overuse it.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate today and Happy Thursday (or whatever day it is you are looking at this). I know I have been lax in my postings lately, but RL has been a busy one this year, in good and not so good ways. Since it is Thanksgiving for me I thought I would share what I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for my family, and that my dad is still with us and fighting his cancer. To be completely honest we didn’t think he would make it to Thanksgiving, but we are more than grateful that he is. Friends, who are there for me during the rough and dark times and there to celebrate all the wonderful moments with me as well. I am thankful for the good fortune that allows me to have a roof over my head and food in my belly. Oh and my cats, all four of them. Even the little kitten who has left no part of my unscratched. And coffee, because without that I would get even less done in a day, and be a terrible crank while not doing anything. Last, but certainly not least I am thankful for you! If no one has told you today that they love you and are happy to have you in their life, well consider it done. I love you and am happy you are here!

Now that I have given you enough cheese to make you lactose intolerant have some credits.

The Adventurous Librarian

When I saw this outfit for sale I instantly thought of the movie The Mummy. Maybe it was just me? Then there were more releases at other events and well I just couldn’t resist! Now to be fair some of the events I went shopping at are changing over to a new month so you may have to wait till they show up in stores, but it’s worth the wait.

I think I am ready for an adventure, though maybe not one involving mummies, curses or anything along those lines. It’s possible I could be confusing adventure with a nice relaxing vacation at the beach, but hey isn’t every day an adventure? Just let me have this one.

The Interview

Phire ZuhraLeave a comment

I promise this will be the last post that will reference the 80’s…at least for now. Though technically this one was inspired by the film Rock of Ages, which admittedly does heavily use 80’s tunes. Here we have me playing the innocent reporter and Manny Kinn playing the drunken rocker.
