Debra


    Gender: Female
    Location: Charlottesville, VA
    Relationship: Married
    Orientation: Straight
    Children: Proud Parent
    # of Kids: 3
    Body Type: Some extra baggage
    Religion: Wiccan
    Ethnicity: Native American
    About Me: I am a live and live person. I don't like conflict, I am non-confrontational. By the same token, while I don't start a fight, I WILL finish one.

    I have 3 living children(I lost 2), all boys. I have 2 grandchildren, also boys. I am ex-law enforcement, pro gun, anti-establishment, pro-personal liberty, very protective, very much a 'softy'. My darling hubby says I would 'mother' the entire world if I had half a chance!

    I DO hunt and fish, I don't believe in HURTING anything - with one caveat: I would LOVE to take the people who hurt children and give back to them ten-fold! Also people who torture and rape: I am 1/4 Apache, and my people had a way of dealing with a rapist; on the first offense the rapist was staked out over an anthill and left. There were very FEW rapes and NO repeat offenders... I kind of like that justice! My darling hubby says I am one of the bloodiest minded people he knows, and that the worst thing he can think of is for someone to get left with me with no checks in place if I have vengence in mind... Nonsense! I love EVERYONE - well, almost everyone!
    Music: Some classic, a lot of classic rock.
    Books: Sci-fi, fantasy, swords and sorcery, mystery, political action thrillers
    Likes: The ocean, sunsets, sunrises, birds, babies of any kind, cats, dogs, horses, well - almost any animal, my darling husband, my children
    Dislikes: bigots, close minded people, anyone who hurts others - especially animals and children
    Hobbies: sewing, reading, history, RenFaires, CivWar re-enactments
    Vices: white chocolate, collecting fabric, my temper
    Virtues: I can sew just about anything I can visualize (I'm modest about it, too!)
    Heroes: Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, anyone who betters themselves without 'working the system'

    New Member of the Family!!

    Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 11:53 AM EST [General]

    We have a new member of the family.  Her name is Weidman's Moon at Midnight - call name Midnight.  She is currently 10 weeks old and she just came home with us on Saturday night.

    She is black with just a couple of white hairs (the breeder says that with this particular set of parents, that isn't uncommon, but the white disappears in the first year - always!) on the front of her chest.  All of our babies have "Moon" somewhere in their registered names, so we continued that with Midnight, and the little bit of white helped.

    Our other poodle, Shadow, is scared to death of her [grin], but we expect that to change.  If nothing else, the first time she goes into season [evil grin].  We expect to become 'grandparents' when Midnight is about 18 months old, and already have reservations on her pups!!  Shadow is such a popular little guy, that a lot of people have asked for one of his off-spring when we get a chance to breed him.

    Midnight is a regular little "daddy's girl" and already has my darling hubby wrapped around her little paw!  She is cute, full of energy and has the same, gruff, low pitched bark when she plays that Shadow does - we're pleased that she won't be a high-pitched 'yappy dog'.  She doesn't show an inclination to bark at much, and Shadow never barks unless he's playing - so she won't get any stimulous there.

    What do you think?  Isn't she adorable?

    OK, I am excitable, I admit it.  But at least I blow off energy this way [grin].  Here is my latest rant.  Quite frankly, I'm HOPING someone tells Brother about it!

    Take a look:  http://www.lady-faire.com/brother.html

    Thank you for that. I have been making the rounds looking for a machine that's not Singer (that would hold up over time & be able to withstand 2 - 3 hours of sewing a day) & did try some of the Brother models. I just want a very basic one, not a quilter or an embroiderer. Got any ideas?

    Thanks for sharing this, my mother is looking for a new Sewing Machines so I will tell her to stick with Singer. I have a Singer my self and I am very pleased with it.

    I'm At It Again!!

    Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 11:09 AM EST [General]

    Let's see who I offend this time, shall we [grin].  I talk with a LOT of people from all walks of life, from all strata of society.  One of the things that almost always comes up is "Racial Guilt and Reparations".

    Here is my take on that:  http://www.lady-faire.com/misc/Racial%20Guilt.html

    Let me know what you think of my reasoning, and by all means, let 'er rip!

    Should YOU believe what you see in photos?

    Sunday, November 2, 2008, 08:32 PM EST [General]

    I was working on some photos of one of my cloaks, and decided that I liked the picture that my darling hubby took, but that I wished that I hadn't been the person wearing the cloak at the time it was taken.  Needless to say, I was NOT at my best, and it showed in the photo. 

    I consider myself to be somewhat accomplished with PhotoShop, so I went about removing myself from the picture.  The results are again proof positive that you should NEVER believe something simply because someone shows you a photo and says it's true:

    Personally, I think it came out fairly well for a 10 minute effort.

    I like it! And it goes with the Halloween time of year.

    Oh... I wish I could make clothes like yours! It is a skill, to be able to see something, and then make it excacly the same. I need to become better at that, in my jewellery work. So I admire your talent very much. Mum and I like to go to middleage festivals, here in Denmark. The whole town dresses up in costumes, and even things as garbage cans are camouflage into looking middleage like. It is so much fun! I think you would love it. I only wish it wasn't middleage, but a renaisance festival, so that I could wear those beautiful big gowns!!

    Hi Debra. Thank you for the welcome note. I am amazed by your costumes. I LOVE the civil war cloths. Wish I could be dressed like that everyday.But it probably wouldent be very practical, though it is beatiful.

    Debra,



    I hope to come your way sometime in the near future. I will let you know when & see if we can get together or meet at a Renaissance faire (I almost played the VA renfaire one year: the woman in charge liked the educational aspect of our music, but we had too many performances that got in the way in our own neck of the woods... still, I'd like to see it & just have fun as a patron for once).



    Thank you & faerie blessings (or maybe I should say unicorn blessings!),
