I love thrift shoppes!
Seriously, I haunt them!
And a thrift shoppe is where I found this darling little specimen!
I thought it looked just cute at first, but then...
See? How cute is that?
...and that!
Isn't he cute? Look, joyfully bringing gifts to his true love, with his little page offering a towel too! ah!
The Lords A-Leaping are a hoot.

Aw,I love the illustrations! So vintag-y and ever so festive, even if the guy looks like a girl at times...but hey, its Disney...
Hope you all have a good week! I will try to post more later, but I have been so busy lately:0

Today is the "Little Woman"s birthday. She is 10, though she wants to be called "1-teen".
Classic Sara.
This is a photo from her party. In this photo we have Sawyer(from Cats Dont Dance), Maid Marian(of Robin Hood fame), Cinderella (the Ever After one), Captain Jack-ette and Annie Oakley.
Happy 10th Birthday Sara!

Yeah, so I guess the very pathetic number of people (the numbers are pathetic, not the people...I assure you) who read this poorly tended blog must have something against chickens. I got all of one comment! And from a very unlikely source. I shall say no more.
Since my last post, I have graduated from sleeping 6 inches of the floor to a full sized bed! Woot! It is so wonderful! But the real thing that makes me happy about this bed is that my own Papa made it for me.
Here he is putting it together. (I did help, I promise!)
Beautiful, is it not?
My bed is looking so much more decent without gobs of junk all over the place...I have Mom to thank for that.
In celebration of getting the bed set up, I got a bad cold and my flu vaccine. Yay...
Happy Halloween! (All Saints Day or All Hallows Eve the celebration of the communion of the saints and God. Just have to articulate:)

This pint-sized piece of poultry was brought to CC a few weeks ago.
The little girl in the photo raises chickens, so she new how to hold him properly. We call her the "Chicken Whisperer".

Well, I suppose it's about time to inform anyone still reading this blog of my new site--sorry about the delay there! Click HERE for my new blog. And click HERE for my new photography site.
I lurve my online classes, so class!
In Omnibus Pirmary (which we call Omnibus Prime:) we are finishing up the truly timeless Pilgrims Progress. What an amazing work, the epitome of an analogy. Wonderful stuff. I even have a quote from that book! "Every bathtub must stand on its own bottom" by Presumption. I find it quite hilarious:)Our teacher, Mr. B the Destroyer is great, too.
Omnibus Secondary is going really fast. We finished up Frankenstein, which was AMAzing! I love, love, love this book and it was great getting to discuss it with the class and with my teacher. We started Pride and Prejudice today. The boys were a little less than enthusiastic, they wanted to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but Mrs. G did not really approve. Of course, those are the boys that blast electric guitar through the computer speakers before class...
Biology, hmm. I am working on it. I have a really great teacher, Mrs. O, and a fun class, so I should be good, right? Hm. Lets just say that I am the ding a ling in class. "So, how many electrons would that be, dyuh?"
Latin, going fast, furious and fantastic! We read and translated Pandora's Box! It was not very difficult, but I am sure Wheelock has more up his sleeves for us students. Mrs. D is a great teacher, she has a Latin Bible, how cool is that?
Much fun, learning is great. God is so good to us for allowing our finite liddle beans to take what we are able.
Well, no one is going to want to read this post unless I put something diverting on the bottom, so I'll post a photo or something...
This is me and my Geometry, otherwise called GeoMattri. Death. Ugh. I will survive.
I think.

~Tia Fairy Costume~
This costume was custom made with inspiration and design idea for a fairy/pirate costume inspired by my version of the Tia Dalma Costume. So I have named this costume The Tia Fairy Costume.
Costume consists of…
1. 1. A linen corset with beading and fabric detail at the neck. Fully laces up the back for a flattering fit. The straps tie onto the front of the corset with some pretty lacing. Fully boned corset style for a pretty fit.
2. 2. The Tia style skirt is made of linen, tapestry and beading.
F Fabrics are slightly aged and worn for a pretty look.
The beading was hand sewn onto the bodice for a pretty pirate look.
The skirt is made of taffeta and linens...with lots of hand sewing beading design.
Lovely pictures are from the owner of this dress! Thank you!
Interested in your own Tia Fairy creation?
Choose your color scheme, accents and beading colors! Many sizes available. Please e-mail me for information.
So you all may be wondering why I have(or will have) a cat under an umbrella as my icon. Katy and Pheonix probably know...
Seriously, I have not been able to find any good icons for me, oh well. It is just a placeholder until I find something better.
But, it does has some history to it!
The icon is from the 1997 film "Cats Dont Dance". Such a great film! It is an animated musical set in 1939, choreographed (yes, I am serious) by Gene Kelly, featuring vocals from Natalie Cole (daughter of Nat King Cole) and a 60 million dollar budget! Singular, to say the least.
As weird as it sounds, it is a great little movie. It even has cameos of Cary Grant, Mae West, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, and more popular stars of that time. It is also sports a clever dialogue and story:)
I grew up with this movie (can you not tell!?)
Anyhoo, that is why my icon is of a cat.

So, you probably thought I had died or something, but no, I have just been rather neglectful in my updates. Sowy.
I had an amazing time at Katy's. We were back in 1st grade again, quoting, singing, taking stupid pictures, the works...
It occured to me, that I have known Katy for nearly a decade! Is that crazy or what?
just like old times....

So, you might be wondering where I have been for the longest time. So sorry for the delay. I have a good excuse! I came out to Colorado to suprise Aliveagain13 for her 16th birthday! woot woot!
Needless to say, she was absolutely floored and wouldn't let me in the door. We have known eachother for about 10 years and love suprising eachother on a regular basis.
Well, I shall post photos as soon as I get home....whew...
Oh yes! Inkblotter, AKA Ariel, came to see me! I had loads of fun with them! Beach time, house painting, watching movies...and they let me do a photo shoot! Wow! That was really nice of them:)
Hope you all have a good week!
