A Fat Cat's Love of Lasagne

I'm a food loving kind girl and I'm not afraid to admit it. I've thought about a gastric band in the past, but then I realise that food becomes a limited thing, and I'm put off... I'd rather stay fluffy lol... I am the kinda girl with more rolls than the local supermarket, and I'm nt shy about it... Who cares what anyone else thinks of me right?
I love all kinds of food, and depending on my mood on any given day I can and will eat all sorts of things... Pasta has always been a favourite though, in fact I kinda connect with a certain cartoon cat when it comes to a pasta dish... 

For those of you that have no idea about the cartoon cat, I'm thinking of Garfield... 
I LOVE Sushi, Pizza, Fried Chicken and Burgers. I LOVE Salads, although I'm not really a fan of dressing and prefer it with croutons rather than sauce. A juicy steak, something with lots of veggies, and don't even get me started on how good potatoes are in all of their forms LOL... 
Yet today I had a craving, similar to that of the big, fat, orange cat, I woke up craving lasagna and my hubby being the brilliant lasange chef he is, he made just what I needed... My inner fat cat was over joyed!!!

The Day Before It Begins...

Well it's finally here, the eve of the Festive Season is upon us... Tomorrow is December 1st. The first day of Advent - which this year I am really really excited for since HellBone spoilt me with my main Christmas present being a BOOK ADVENT CALENDAR... There is so much to do, what with decorating for the festivities, buying and wrapping gifts, prepping all the delicious Christmas grub and just generally getting into the spirit... 

A few days ago I'd been out in the woods collecting foliage for my decorations and so today on the last day of November I'm getting decor prepared. I've set up a little tree and pulled out the baubles, cut at the cards into Jolly Trees - from Spruce - and then pulled over the Early Winter decor crate - that I have from Pitaya - so that I could try out that tutorial I'd seen online... It looked easy enough but even I was pretty impressed with how cute my Christmas Gnome Wreath- from Simply Shelby - turned out!

Seasonal Delicacies Prep!!!

My trip to the pumpkin patch yesterday was so much fun... I had such a lovely day collecting the pumpkins and playing with the puppies and eating one or two candy apples... Since it was my lazy Sunday and since I'd picked up a few things at the Pumpkin Farm, and as Tuesday is the start of Halloween season, I decided to take today to carve some 'kins and make a few more delicious Candy Apple treats... 

My kitchen work tops became Autumn treat central this afternoon as I spent a good few hours plotting and then carving one of my first pumpkins for the season. 
After that, and due to the fact that I'd developed a rekindled love for them, I popped out to MOVEMENT to grab myself a slow cooker that was perfect for melting caramel to make some of my own Candy Apples... 
The kitchen started to smell so nice, and I was so distracted that I didn't notice my kitten had climbed up to take a closer look...

The Flower Folk of Spring

March is a fairly important month, not only is it my birthday month, it's also the start of Spring officially and that means that this part of the world that I'm in life starts to start. Freshness, colours and warm sunshine become the most important things of the season... 
Second to Autumn, Spring is a time of year that I LOVE, I'm a girl that loves the dark and twisted but also the colourful pretties, and all the flowers that are springing to life make me super happy... 

Flower Fairies are just as happy as I am at this time of year, possibly more so, as it is they that are the ones that get to welcome in the flowers... Flowers of all kinds including favourites of mine like daffodils and lily of the valley, are making gardens look wonderful... 
The little Spring Flower Fairy in me is happy, sitting in the grass to talk to her magical little friends...

Flowers, Shrooms and Fairies

I know that sometimes I can be fairly random when it comes to my blogging. Some days I've gone dark and others I'm a simple rainbow sparkle queen... I LOVE having variety, I love having the ability to be anything I want and that's why my blog is so therapeutic... 
Tonight I'm going to slip into my fairytale mood, and find myself a a cosy bed to sleep off the stresses of a long hard day. I'll curl up, sleep on a cosy bed of moss amidst the flowers where it's quiet and safe... 

The little fae in me never seems to look the same twice but there is one thing that I can always guarentee on... I LOVE to look cute and colourful... 
I'm so tired though that this seems like the perfect place to curl up and snooze. I love this Shroomy Bed - from Krescendo at FaMESHed - complete with these adorable little mushroom pals that are perfect to cuddle. The glade is softly scented by the beautiful paper flowers - from dust bunny - and the Giant Flowers - from PLAAKA, both of which are available at Anthem - which is filling the air with such a delicious perfume that the Sunny Flower Garden Friends - from Aardvark, also available at Anthem - have decided to join me and the mushrooms whilst we sleep...

Packages to the Wrapping Station

As much as I love spending countless hours watching all sorts of different unboxing videos, I will also admit that I'm more than a little addicted to browsing through e-Bay and Etsy to find the perfect, random, pretty items as gifts for friends and family. I mean it's almost August and therefore I should be getting on with my Christmas shopping. I'm making something very special for a special someone that I need to send out super early!!!! 
I know it sounds silly, but I loveeeeeeeee the idea of having a wrapping station set up in my home.

I love giving gifts. Christmasses and Birthdays in my house see people getting very spoilt. I love to buy gifts for everyone, at Christmas I fill stockings for my family and love nothing more than watching them expose all of the surprises! 
Though one of my least favourite things is scrabbling around trying to wrap the gifts. I LOVE wrapping but would much rather have a table set up just for wrapping. If I had room and money I'd have a set up like this lol... Lots of wrappings, ribbons and labels - like the things from Second Spaces - I'd also have a special stash of packing 'peanuts' to make sure that I could make any Special Delivery - like the packaging from Krescendo.

Box & Packaging: [Krescendo] - Special Delivery Set

Color the World, Me and my Plus One!

Wow looks like it's a HOT day again tomorrow, today has been pretty warm too... I've been trying to focus on some random things to keep me occupied and avoiding the heat. 
I decided that today was a good time to take part in a challenge that we've been set in the blogging team for Ananas. They like to keep us on our toes, and keep us interested in the things we're blogging. This time we're being challenged to play a game of "Check Me Out: And My Plus One"... 

Now the idea behind the challenge was to showcase an item from Ananas, and feature a plus one... It didn't have to be a partner, it could be a friend, or a colleague, or even another blogger on the team, yet I guess, for the ease of it, I grabbed HellBone from what he was doing and pulled him into my little blogging world. 
Now, what would we do... We grabbed some MASSIVE crayons and decided to start drawing up a plan of what we'd be working on, when the plan fell together and we decided to "Color the World"... These epic crayons are an Ananas release that can be worn and leave a trail of brilliant colours as you draw all over SL.

Sharing Pie with Daddy

So yesterday was Thanksgiving. I saw so many people talking about the delicious things they were eating yesterday, and I had barely eaten anything - aside from Chinese take-out, which fills you up for a bit then you need MORE - so I snuck out of bed and headed down to the kitchen to see if there was anything left from the families Thanksgiving dinner... I'm gonna admit now that I was a little upset about the family Thanksgiving - I wasn't invited to the one my "newish" SL family had, so I felt a little unwanted - yet when I found the Pumpkin Pie in the fridge... Revenge was MINE! Just like this Pie!!! 

Since I started this post though, I've talked to my SL family. Things have been smoothed over, and when my Daddy appeared in the kitchen doorway, late that night I even made sure there was an extra fork available for him to share the Pie! A peace offering if you will... All is forgiven, I love you and I'm sorry I let my imagination get the better of me. I should have come to talk to you rather than let things go from bad to worse in my mind, when you never had any idea that it would cause this kind of feeling in me. 
The pie of course is pumpkin - a Thanksgiving staple apparently - made lovingly in the Lost Junction Bakery. The Whipped Cream should have gone on the pie, but I think Daddy had other ideas - and now the cream is all for him - thanks to a pose which is called "Whipped Again" by Image Essentials and that technically comes with Sundaes unless you're feeling more like eating pie perhaps? 
I love my crazy family!!! I hope you all know that!

My Enormous Harvest

I don't think I am the only one that ever does this, but when it comes to my blog I am always needing to have posts ready so that when I have a spare few minutes I can sit down and write something... I get a little panicked when I realise that I am running low on posts that need posting, so I end up working like a busy bee getting things ready... Sometimes I want to blog things as soon as I have taken the pictures for them, others I keep as "when I need them" posts... THIS was one of the former... I had these things in my hoard for a while, and I LOVE THEM... I should have taken and written this sooner hehe...

The things I cannot help myself loving are the amazing veggie plants from Lost Junction... This store is addictive I swear, I cannot help myself needing things whenever there is a release... This time - and OK they have been out for a while I am just REALLY SLOW at the moment - are these amazing veggies... The Fresh Furniture - shown here in Carrot, Tomato and Bell Pepper, there is a Sweet potato too, but I don't like sweet potato hehe - were available for The Neighbourhood, but are still available at the mainstore! Thank goodness I'd picked up these new Garden Barn tools from Plaaka at this round of the Arcade, it would have been a nightmare harvesting these giant crops without help hehe!
My outfit was one that I wouldn't ever had chosen for myself... Basically Mongo decided that he loved the way the jeans from Blueberry made girls asses look LOL... He wanted to buy me jeans, I wasn't going to argue, he was buying me clothes hehe... He bought me the top too hehe...
Though I had to Rudhify the look a bit, I pulled on the gorgeous new necklace from DAZED with it's HUGE gemstone, that you can grab for yourself at IDK, and then to make it just that little bit crazier I opted for some sunglasses - well sunglasses-ish anyway - specs from {joli} at Suicide Dollz.
Kinda reminds me of the story of the Enormous Turnip that I loved when I was little... Anyone know any good recipes for Carrot, Pepper and Tomato based yummies?
