    Blooming in June

    Wednesday, June 3, 2009, 06:35 PM EST [General]

    This beautiful briar rose opened this morning.

    The other small tree
    Not everyone knows,
    With her blossoms spread flat -
    ... Guelder Rose

    CMB

    And ahem, this is the less known Teasle.
    Appears to have popped up in the window box!

    Bad egg !

    Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 04:19 PM EST [General]

    I have been quite busy doing stuff, nothing very interesting. A little bit of crafting, some sewing and lots of boring everyday drudgery. Hmmm..... well this morning I was enjoying a well earned cup of Nescafe Mocha and a finger of Twix when my nose detected a very bad smell. I checked the cats (it has been known)  - nothing. I even peered down the drain, then I noticed some tiny black footprints going into the house. PIP !

    I found him sitting on the corner of the rug yawning and looking extremely dirty. It turns out he'd been on the Nidlongdir Dragon Quest on his own ! He says he was exploring the caves of Dragonia and found a dragon egg (that explains the smell I suppose)

    What next ! He even has a medal to prove it -

    A good wash in some fresh rainwater and a good going over with a baby wipe had him clean in no time.

     

    Dragons indeed !
    ^_^

    Secrets...

    Sunday, March 22, 2009, 07:21 PM EST [General]

    Why, I wonder, does nature hide some of her most beautiful creations ?
    To reveal Hellebore's secret u have to peep right under her flowers.

    Luna is just under 15cm tall, she's a dollzone BB doll. I bought 2 SD dolls from them and I got 2 mini BB dolls included (as I spent so much money with them, eeeek!)They're not for me to keep sadly :o( I want some dolls for myself but as they're so expensive my other half says I have to make and sell a few to save up the money to buy some for myself, so he lent me the money for the first ones. I've finished Luna and made a corset and skirt for my 60cm female, now I'm starting on the clothes for the 70cm male, then I'm blushing and painting them both. I LOVE doing the blushing and painting!

    yup yup we do :)
    and thank ye .. I must say POI is really meditative, the motions, the flow, the music [yup its a good thing to have when spinning] it set things in motion, being outside and barefeeted in the grass, forest is the best..

    Please tell Pip that there is a small mens department at Elodie Fashion. I have heard that a new stand is going to open at The Leafenheim Market called The Knight's Armory.

    Dear sweet Carolyn, I am so grateful for your lovely columns in our EF Faezine and delight in the way you view life, your dolls are exquisite and remind us to keep playing *claps with admiration* it is such fun working on the summer edition too! Sending a special kiss to precious Pip, I can't wait to meet up with him in magical Nidlondgir...

    There is some free building land in Lower Branch Road in Leafenheim City.
    Pip can get his own house there so that he has his own place to stay for the night, when he goes to Nidlongdir.

    Please tell Pip he can contact me, and I will make sure he gets a house of his own.

    He will have to hand in a small description of how he would like his house to be, so that the Pilienu Fairies, who grows the houses in Leafenheim, can build a house that will suit his needs!

    OK I see now that File Name does not appear. Which is probably why it is not uploading.

    Carolyn, tks. for the details - I can see now that the appearance of the file name that I browse for is not happening for some reason. I wonder if I do a restart of my computer if it will help? Sometimes I do that when all else fails. I'm going to try a restart.
