Sunflowers in Summer!

How is it possible that it's already the last day of May, where the heck did the last 5 months go. Everything seems to be going at light speed this year and I'm scared to blink in case I miss it... 
June is looking like it should be a good month. I get to go see my family, so I'll be going to see my grandma and can support my mum through a session of chemo. Speaking of Mum, we're taking her to see Take That - if she's feeling up to it - and that will be a fab, fun time at the Circus... AND we are one step closer to being able to move back home... I CANNOT WAIT, but until then how 'bout we get the start of the Summer started... 

There are so many fun things to look forward to, besides the previously mentioned family visit, and chance to see my childhood first loves. I'm ONE step closer to being home and therefore away from this camping situation that I live in right now... 
There are lots of fun things to come around in Second Life at the moment... One of the most important that needs to be shared at the moment, aside from the fact that Sunflower fairies are out in full force to share the sunny love, is the fact that one of Second Life's most important and long standing events has finally opened for it's 20th anniversary edition.
 I remember when Hair Fair first started and it was full of so many weird and wonderful new hair styles, fledgling designers that we know and love today and the chance to raise some big bucks for a charity that is beyond deserving. Wigs for Kids has raised millions to help provide children with wigs when they have lost their hair due to sickness or other issues, and we in Second Life have been great at supporting their mission every year, for the past 20 years - lead by the wonderful Sasy Scarborough - to raise money to aid in that support... So on that note, I'm going to let the Sunflower Fairy fluff up her new Shy Wig - from monso in the Foils Region of Hair Fair, with a 30% donation to the cause - as she got great hair and the kids that benefit have just a teeny amount of extra help! 
When you've been to the Hair Fair, be sure to come find me at the Sunflower Farm... Summer is about to start and Sunflowers are like summer time flower smiles!

Asking the Cards for Guidance...

Tomorrow is my day off... I'm looking forward to having a day of relaxation, a chance to do a little photo taking and create a little magic, although these days I can never predict whether it will be able to happen... I've decided to seek the advice of someone that might be more likely to give me a better idea if it will work out the way I want it... I'm off to see someone who will consult the cards and give me some good news... 

The Cartomancer - a backdrop and pose set from piXit - sitting in her den is a mystic, reading the cards and seeing the images in her crystal ball... The magic is so powerful that the cards have risen in a flight of the tarot, swirling around her head as she plucks the World Card from the display... 
I hope that she has some good news for me...

Find me at the Sunflower Farm

It's been a day off for me today, a MUCH NEEDED day off after the stresses of the weekend, but unfortunately I have to work again tomorrow so I'll just keep on trying to smile and let my mind wander off on an adventure to somewhere much nicer... 
My mind goes on so many adventures thanks to my blogging, some are much brighter than others, and some are much simpler than others... Today I decided that I'd slip off to a gorgeous sunny place, surrounded by the hum of the bees and a smell that's simply devine... 

Today if you need me, you can find me at the Sunflower Farm - which just happens to be a gorgeous backdrop from the amazing Synnergy.Tavis, which coincidentally is also where my pose is from too - where I've stopped to pick a few of the flowers and I really hope that the cute farm hand that I saw doesn't mind... It's not very often that I'm into cowboys, but for that one I'd have made an exception... 
I know that I'd dressed pretty today, I couldn't miss the look on the face of said farm boy when he saw me arrive on the farm, I cannot take all the credit it was the fault of Decoy and the Polina Flow Dress... I was left wondering as to his thoughts whilst I wandered up and down through the rows of sunflowers, until I noticed that same cowboy handing his puppy a bunch of flowers and directing him down the path towards me...

Hair Wreath: Secret Poses - Sunflower Crown (Part of Girasol Pose Set)

Wearing a Blanket on Laundry Day

I love going on holidays, and I love coming home and returning to my usual stuff - some stuff more than others - but one thing that I'm not keen on is the mountain of laundry that seems to fall out of my suitcase as I get home. I opened my case, I took out the most important thing, a Christmas Pudding made by my mum and then had to start loading the machine... Until that point I'd washed all my things I'd have nothing to wear... 

This time of year is a little too cold to be sitting around in my nudiepants, that's naked for people that don't speak Rudhese by the way, and I had to find a way to keep warm whilst all my clothes were getting cleaned. I got lucky in this case, I'd received the most wonderfully warm, soft, fluffy 'Wrap Me Up' blanket - from Ananas, available until December 23rd at Tannenbaum in 6 different fun colours - and sat on the floor to watch the awesome show in the spinning machine.

Choices, Choices, which door do I choose?

Halloween has finally left the building, although I don't think it will ever fully be gone from my corner of the world. Though there is lots of magic still swirling around in the air, and I know that since Rudh is always into the magical arts, that there will ALWAYS be plenty of magic and monsters and darkness... Yet right now, as the Halloween magic fades away Rudh has a choice, is she going to be playing more on the darkside of the magic, or will she be able to follow to the light?

Standing before the doors in the Library of Portals - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - she has to make her decision before the doors are able to close and block the magic for a while. The dark side is hoping to lure her in with it's beautiful collection of skulls and devious little monsters, but the good side is offering up sparkles and magic tricks and everythig that's cute and adorable! 
Which door should I take? Which is the right path for me... You know it's such a hard choice to make!!!
