The Sacred Lotus!

I've been all over the place with my blogging lately, in fact I'll admit that I've been all over the place in general lately. I don't know what is causing it but I do know that normally feel much better when I've arrived on UK soil. HellBone always laughs at me as I roll down the window in the car, and breathe in the English air...
I can feel being back at my roots coming closer and closer... It's like magic... Bubbling under the surface, getting closer and closer... 

I have to let that magic come out, I have to let myself feel the magic so that my holiday becomes a good time and a chance to rest and mentally prepare to get back to reality once I have to come home again... The Netherlands is lovely, but for me it's STILL not home... 
I'm going to let the magical fae take over and bring my mind to a happy place. I'm going to open the cage and let the worries slip away like butterflies that are flying to kiss the magical Sacred Lotus...

Releasing the Snow Storm...

I know that sometimes my blogging is all over the place, and one day I'm bright and colourful while the next I'm darker and more dead looking... This time of year as the weather is changing and the winter whites and greys are taking over from the Autumn colours... Soon the reds, golds and browns will be a thing of memory and the whites will be altering the landscape... All it takes is a simple magical gesture from the fae, and everything changes... 

When the Fall Feels hit, and the air starts to get colder... The Fae are slowly starting to get weaker and beginning to show signs of decay, so even though her flowers and leaves are beginning to turn red, her body is decaying before her eyes... All she needed to do now was uncork the bottle, release the Stellar Dendrites and watch as they take a Leafy Ride on the wind... 
Since things need a little more showing off, I've added the ads for the Leafy Ride from Aardvark, and the Progeny Bindi from Six Feet Under...

Foraging for Mushrooms

I've been at work all day today, but it's been oneof those fabulous Autumn days...The Sun has been shining, and the air is chilled... It's wonderful, and my favourite time of the year because of it really... 
I love going out on long walks in the chilled air, crunching through the fallen leaves, hunting for conkers or pretty leaf colours and I've always felt like I'd love to go on a nature walk to forage for mushrooms... I don't like to eat them, but the idea of foraging for them makes me smile... 

Outside the Cabin in the Woods, I decided that it was time to get a mushroom harvest hunt on... I dressed in something cozy, casual, a gorgeous mushroom knitted cardigan - from the Madi Set in the miss chelsea booth at the soon to end round of equal10 - and a cute little matching beret - which comes with the Pumpkin Hair from Wasabi - to go on my hunt... 
I know that the Amanita Mushrooms are poisonous, and definitely not for eating, but they make such pretty decor items, I NEED some to decorate the house...

Cave of Creeps and Crawly Things

I'm in a lot of pain after a trip to the docs today but luckily I had something a little creepy to make a girl's skin crawl... I needed some kind of distraction, and I think the creepiness of the bugs may just be the kind of place to do it... 

Some people are terrified of bugs, others love them. I'm not one of those that hates them but certain bugs give me the willies... WHY is that though? I've never really understood why people love things like butterflies and ladybirds but other bugs make them squirm and shiver...

Fairy Flower Magic

I wanted a little sprinkle of some light, bright fairytale magic today. I know Halloween is meant to be about the dark and spooky but dressing up, is dressing up, and well originally the fairytales were nothing like the Disneyfied happy endings we get now... 
Still a little sprinkle of fairytale magic can't hurt, especially when I'm feeling so low right now... 

I've always loved readin fairytales. I love the magic, the drama, the love that can be found... I've always wanted to let my inner fae out to play and in SL there are just so many different ways that I can do exactly that... I love expressing my fairytale creativity in Secondlife and having so many pretty things to play with really does help.
Today the fairy in me is trying all different kinds of magic to help the Frog Prince return to his human form, since Princess Tiana is on holiday...

Pumpkin Carving on a Sugar High

Halloween is coming and it's getting closer and closer, there is no stopping the snowball effect of th arrival of the Spooky Season... I LOVE this time of year, it's been fun to decorate, it's been fun to get into costumes and I have 22 more days of Halloween looks still to come...
Today I've decided to prep some of the decorations for my home, I wanted to start carving pumpkins to make my house feel more festive... Carving pumpkins can be a little messy, and since it's Halloween I get messy with candy too, but since it's so much fun, when the big people leave the room, the little spirits come out to play... 

Once the big people have gone, and the spirits come out to play in the pumpkins... The adorable little Cute Spooky pumpkin ghost - from YOKAI - was dancing around his favourite veggies, while the Little Crows - also from YOKAI but available at Satan Inc until November 1st - get silly and search for their own fab little Halloween costumes... If you look closely, you will also spot a cheeky little Pumpkin Fae fluttering through the pumpkins, laughing at the carved faces and indulging on the sweet treats, like the Pumpkin Candy Latte - from Junk Food - and the delicious donuts that were left by the Big People. She got such a fit of the giggles, the sugar instantly making her high, and she couldn't help but  sprinkle some of her fairy dust to go for a little "Pumpkin Ride" - an awesome vehicle from Ananas, available until October 22nd at Salem.

Waking the Mushroom Fae!

It's so freaking hot today, another bloody heatwave and I'm desperate to get out of the heat. My office is under a flat roof, and there's no avoiding the heat upstairs, so I'm hiding down in a cave of my living room with everything closed. 
I'm craving Autumn, I want the cool crisp air, the feeling of leaves falling and that beautiful frost that settles over the ground I want the cold air, and the fact that I need to wrap up warm and snuggly... 
I've heard that things are changing, the fairy folk are preparing for their winter sleep whilst others are starting to wake... It's almost the time of the Autumn Fae... 

In the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, by the dark pond - a backdrop from Synnergy - there is a perfect environment for the hiding place for the Mushroom Fae. These pretty little dark fae need dark damp places just like their moisture loving fungal friends... These pretty little Autumn Fae decorate themselves with their favourite mushrooms, some are into the red with spots, others like the frills that grow on trees and the Rudhie version who loves the cute little brown button cups... She loves them so much they adorn her body - thanks to the amazing new release from Quills & Curiosities at the soon to open round of Enchantment - you'll have to excuse her mess though, she's just waking up from her Summer Slumber...
