Dandelion Wishes

I've been trying anything and everything recently to make myself feel better... As I've alluded to in the recent weeks and especially lately there has been a lot going on in my RL and even though I'm still not ready to talk about, blogging and all the ins and outs of it has always been my favourite kind of release... So far, it's not helped... 
Today I wanted to do something TOTALLY fantasy, totally in the fairy realm where my mind is resting and the fairies have control... Today I went outside, and laid in the long grass, playing with Dandelion clocks and talking to my mum like I always used to do... There were friends in the long grass to help me make dandelion wishes... 

When you're playing the the Dandelions, remember there are some that see it as a weed, but the fae folk see them as hundreds of tiny little wishes that can be whisked away on the breeze to spread happiness to anyone that sees them... 
This adorable little Dandelion Fae was lingering in the grass this morning, she invited me to stop for tea and her favourite food, which although looked like a dandelion was actually an extremely delicious Blooming Onion - created by Lucas Lameth, available now at Anthem... 
I know there are no wishes that I could make to change things right now, but I am hoping to feel better, and there's always hope right?!

A Day in the Sun

Where I am currently living at the moment is close to a very local marina, it sounds glamorous but it's pretty much the opposite it seems... I mean it looks pretty in the sunshine, but doesn't everywhere really?! What I really want is to be somewhere that's a little bit more interesting with some glamorous vibes and some a chance to get away from reality... 

Since it won't happen in RL, I've decided to take a day away from things in SL and take a trip down to the Santamaria Pier - an old but still cute backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - kick off my shoes and don my sunhat to keep the sun from my eyes...

Tulip Season!

The sun has been shinging so much lately and it really feels like feels like the Spring has finally sprung  around here. I love all of the flowers that seem to be popping up, and brightening up the world and I SERIOUSLY think there are so many peopleout there that need to stop and smell the flowers. The world is a scary place right now, and things are chaos and it's more than a little scary. We all need to stop and smell the flowers... 

One of the best places to get themselves a lovely place to stop and smell the flowers is very close to where I am currently living... The area surrounding the farm I'm staying on is surrounded by row upon row of tulip fields apparently. I'm waiting to see all the colours pop, everything looks a little too green at the moment... 
I'm going to wait until it's just right and then head out into the fields to get myself one of those instagram pinterest style aesthetic photos... 
If I can't in RL then I may well just do it in Second Life... I have the perfect outfit all ready, a cute little Posy Set - from miss chelsea, available until March 30th at Anthem - and I'm ready to stop and smell the flowers, making sure that I have some to take home...

Killing Cupid

It is hard to believe that it's almost the end of February already and that means we're already two months down and into the third month of the year.

First though there is ONE thing that I have to do before we end out February... 

I need to rid us of that annoying little thing that has been buzzing around us for the month, and that means someone perhaps me, needs to get rid of that little Cupid... I think if I'm lucky I can catch him in his hideout somewhere in the Tunnel of Love - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - I'm armed with a few things like bows and arrows, and even the Until Death Axe - which is from Krescendo - and and makes the perfect weapon for an angel killer like me...

A Queen in Hiding!

Finally a day off and I had the chance to have a lay in. It was blissful, until we heard the staff of the shop below arriving for work and disturbing the wonderful slumber... It was so lovely cuddling up with Hell and my cat,and then reality came through and we had to go to our house and do some of the final work before we handover the keys next week... The first thing I NEED to do though is get a very, large cup of coffee... 

Even though I'm happy to have a day off and had a bit of a lay in, I'm still bloody exhausted and I know that HellBone is too... 
I'll sit around for a while, hide my exhausted eyes and unwashed hair under a cap - the Queen Cap from Boutique #187, available until February 25th at Astrophe - and pretend to read my book while I doom scroll through my phone as I find out what is going on with the rest of my friends in the Barely Functioning Club...

Gifts of the Gods

It's been a while since I did something that lt my fantasy side out to play and for some reason I found myself veering towards the magical, dream-like and fanstastical... I had no idea where I would go, but my mind lead me to something a little God-like... Not any modern god either, this one was a little historical magic... 

I think that today though, the magic did have some kind of base in reality... My feet are hurting after a long day of work and well... I kinda wished for magical gifts of shoes from the gods... Little did I know that it was the Egyptian gods that were listening and that they'd grant me the magic of their people to walk on... 
I'll be walking like an Egyptian in no time...

Milk, Cookies & Cowgirls!

This weekend is Valentine's Weekend and that mean the world is filled with hearts and flowers and romance and sweetness... I am not really a sweet romance kinda girl, I love doing things with my hubby but we're definitely not a romantic pair... We tend to end up doing silly things that make us laugh more than anything... 
Still I'm going to try and get some cute, random, fun in before the holiday and that means after this week I'm done with romance LOL... 

So for today, now that I'm done with work, I'm going to spend a few days at the farm in RL doing a little bit of tidying up, I might also find myself a cute farm hand to enjoy a roll in the hay with. Either that or the cow girl in me will find a way to make sure there is some extra money earnt for the farm by being cute and setting up a kissing booth - which is actually part of the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis. 
I took the whole cowgirl thing literally today - mostly because the outfit from miss chelsea, available until February 27th at Anthem - but it's cute and it's sweet and well... You know me I LOVE dressing up LOL!

A Moment To Pause...

Home after a very short trip to see my parents in the UK over New Years... Every time I come back it always feels like it was never long enough and I feel totally and utterly empty at the moment. I miss my family and the homesickness never seems to get any easier, but I guess on that note I should warn you... This is my first pensive post of the year, it won't be all fun and games as I have a lot of rambling thoughts to share. If you're not wanting to read all that, I understand, but enjoy the picture and the credits at the bottom of my ramble... Otherwise read on... 

I'm home again, back in my little house on Gingerbread Lane - in this case a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and while Hell is unloading the car, I'm going to take a moment to sit and talk with you over a nice cup of coffee from my cozy Thermos Flask - from andika, available until January 27th at Anthem - and I don't know why but being the snow feels peaceful right now... 
As I've been hinting lately, there will be a LOT of things happening this year and my mind is totally distracted and crazed and not in a very happy place right now... If you asked me about any resolutions for this year, I'd tell you that I simply want to get through the year with everything going smoothly, everyone around me being happy, and all the troubles passing by in the blink of a eye... 
HellBone and I have a MASSIVE undertaking starting in February. Per Dutch Law, our house is in need of some major rennovations. We have to move out for 6 months, and although we're lucky in that the cheese company I work for is able to provide me temporary accomodations for that time, I'm MOVING and we have to clear out the ENTIRE GROUND FLOOR of our house... There is SO MUCH to do and I'm stressing about that... Packing, organising, tidying, cleaning, travelling back and forward to our new location to get things sorted, I need a break already and we haven't even started... 
On another note, there is illness in my family and it makes me worry even more... My grandmother is 93 and suffering with demensia, she also cannot get herself out of bed anymore without the help of a nurse. My grandfather is trying but it's a stress on him, yet he's too stubborn to let anyone else help, and it's causing fights with others in the family. Then there is my Mum... In October, my mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. It's not going to be viable to surgically remove the cancer, so she is going to be undergoing intensive chemo for the next few months. At the moment it's all a case of wait and see what is happening and how things will go, I'm remaining strong for her but behind closed doors I'm broken and crying and STILL trying to focus on the move just to stop myself jumping back on a plane to see my mummy again... 
I'm not in a good place, this year has just started and I'm going to need all the luck I can get. Please bear with me if I start getting upset or my blogging is erratic... If you need support or love or someone to listen, I'll always be here, just remember I care even if I'm not doing well. Keep everything crossed for my mum, for my grandma and for my sanity... I already can't wait for 2026 to be done... OH AND on top of all that, this year I TURN 40!!! Bring it on 2026...

Frost & Snow Elemental

I am once again trying to find a little magic, I NEED some more after the boring day I had at work today. I got home and went in search of the sparkle that would make this season perfect... 
It's rather warm for this time of year at the moment, it's supposed to be Christmas soon, how can it be warm. I bet the big festive day will be warm and wet... Lets see if we can find a little of that frost and snow sparkle... 

On my search, I managed to find just the fae that I was looking for... She's a Snow Elemental - thanks to a set from Faunus - that can be found hiding in the Frostlace Ballroom - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - creating some magic and a few soft snowflake sparkles... I don't want it to snow, I'm not a fan of the snow but I wish I could let the weather get cooler and feel more festive... Just enough so the leaves get a little frosted...

The Last Day of November

Well Hi!!! It feels like forever since I had a chance to sit down and talk to you here... I've been such a busy girl in RL that eveerything seemsneglected and then I add to that the way my brain is fully and hurting, and I'm just tired... SO TIRED... Yet here we are, at the end of Novemeber and it doesnt seem hard to think it but how in the holy hell did we get here?! Pft, I guess it's time to try and get into the spirit of the Christmas Season... 

As Brit comedian, Michael McIntyre once commented, once December comes everyone starts discussing the "emotion of Christmassy", the feeling that we get for this festive holiday and I'm looking forward to the moment I get to make my announcement that "today I felt Christmassy for the first time" but right now I'm more interested in being a hibernating bear than celebrating Christmas LOL... 
Still I am going to make an effort, I HAVE to for my own mental wellbeing, and maybe a little Christmas sparkle will make life just that little happier... I've been busy in RL sorting things for the big renovation next year but that meant I was able to get my Christmas decorations out of storage... Is it just me or do we put the same little trickets and decorations out every year?! I cannot bear to spend a Christmas without them, each one is like a little trip down memory lane... A reminder of happy times and the sparkles of days gone by...

Coffee & Apple Pie

A day off and it's been a busy one... One of our big tasks when it comes to the upheaval of next year is passed, and we now have the funds ready from the bank that means we ae ready to go.. ISH!! There is a lot to do before then... However, I've done my chores, we signed some paperwork and even manage to go to a large expat store in Amsterdam so that I could get myself some delicious English Christmas goodies... It has been a damn good day really... 

First time in a while that I feel I've had such a good day, I've accomplished things even though I was half asleep as HellBone drove us around in the car. I woke up too early but I managed to get through all my tasks and even had time to stop off with the ol' man for a slice of fresh apple pie - from Simply Shelby - and a coffee, and then even treated myself to a second coffee that came in the adorable Bear Coffee Cup - from Junk Food - and it was DELICIOUS...

Rainbow Bats in the Rave Yard!!

I think that I MAY be one of the very few people in the world that has had nothing to do with K-Pop Demon Hunters... I mean I have seen it advertised everywhere, I know that it features some catchy K-Pop tunes but could not tell you if they were from the movie and aside from being able to look at a picture and say that I recognise the picture I see, I couldn't tell you anything about it... Am I the only one out there that hasn't seen it? 
So even though I know NOTHING, I'm going to admit I LOVE the look and wanted to play with the style on a night out for a little Halloween fun... 

I decided to get all dressed up and head into the Rave Yard, you follow the neon corridor dotted with neon tombstones and follow the instructions on the floor... As above, So below... The code of the rave yard club, where only members brandishing the logos, which Rudh wears as earrings - available from Six Feet Under at the still open FLF-O-Ween, and for a better look since her earrings are a little small in the main picture, I've added the advert below - are allowed to venture... The Music is loud and heavy... 
Everything is neon, but the best of the decorations has to be the cute little Scary Bats - from MishMish at Kustom9 until November 9th - in their rainbow neon colours...

Who let the Cats in?

Being an Assistant manager SUCKS... While my boss is on vacation I've been drafted in to cover her role, and I'm working my butt off... So much so that I'm working ALL WEEKEND this week... I don't want to be working, I want to be doing the fun things like reading, taking pictures in SL or napping... A nap would be fantastic, but there is no rest for the wicked, and apparently I'm wicked... I will find a way to relax, even if I have to lock myself in a dark room and work on my pictures...  

Not sure if being in a dark room - which is a backdrop from blaink by the way - when all I want to do is nap, but maybe the smell of the chemicals will help me stay awake... OR Maybe they will knock me out?! I will have to make sure that I put my cameras down before I fall down and snooze... I've always got a camera with me in RL - something like the ones from Synnergy.Tavis which are a posed holdable - but never have I ever been in a dark room... 
I was enjoying myself and minding my own business, but my stomach was starting to grumble a little bit and as if by magic, HellBone appeared with a snack... Hoding the snack in his hand, as he opened the door, I didn't manage to get the "NOOOOOO" out before my cats all dashed into the room and started causing chaos... They don't even take time to Paws and Reflect - which is the gacha collection from Aardvark in which you can find all these kitties... Chaos ensues...

Sailing Away!

There is an event coming up in Amsterdam that I amkinda excited about, even though to some people it might seem a little lame LOL. It happens once every 5 years, although the last one didn't get to happen because of Covid.This year looks like it will be bigger and better than ever before because it's the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam... The event is called SAIL, you can find out all about it on the event's website, but I am going to start already and get into some practice NOW... 

I will admit that I'm NOT very good on a boat, I tend to get a little seasick and worry about sharks, thanks to a giant rubber shark at a theme park when I was a teen. One day I will get past it, and complete the bucket list goal that says that I will end up in s shark cage... Iwanna go diving with the sharks... 
So for now I plan on hanging around on the boat, waiting for some good looking sailor to come and help a girl out on her boat LOL... I'll put together a cute outfit, grab a been from the cooler and wait...

Gittering at the Roller Disco

I need some happy, I want to let my hair down and dance, and although all I'm listening to at the moment seems to be Black Sabbath, I feel like it brings me to tears every now and again... 
I might have to switch it up and listen to something a bit more cheesy pop as I head into my last day of work... Tomorrow I have one more work shift then I am on holiday for a couple of weeks YAY... 

I feel like I want to go back into my past and one of those crazy fun Saturday nights that we used to go to at the youth rollerskating rink... It was nothing special as they just turned a sports hall into the rink by adding a DJ booth at one end and spent a few hours playing cheesy pop music... 
I feel like that's what I need right now, it's definitely feeling like that wil help me get through the next few days before I go home...

Do you like Scary Movies?

On days off I tend to love reading and taking pretty pictures in SL, I'm sure you've guessed all that by now, but my hubby is definitely MUCH more of a movie freak... I am not particularly a movie watcher. I have my firm favourites, I will get lost in my mind any time I watch the LOTR and Princess Diaries is my go-to make me feel better kind of movie... HellBone loves all different kinds of movies, Horror being his go-to... 

Watching movies these days is NOTHING like it used to be when I was in my teens or even early 20s. When I was a kid or even a teen, I remember nights when Mum and Dad said we could rent a video to watch from the local video shop. We didn't have a Blockbuster, but there was a local family owned video shop - a bit like the backdrop from blaink - but by the time DVDs were becoming a thing, the shop was beginning to close it's doors... 
I am NOT  a scary movie fan though, HellBone loves them and likes to terrorise me, making me watch them sometimes... Last time I jumped so much during a scary scene that I spilled my drink and dropped my dinner... Rudh got so scared in the video store today that she threw one of the slices of pizza that she'd stolen from the clerk on the desk...

Head Pizza: Junk Food - Head Pizza in Supreme

Taking Down the Rebellion!

It's the fourth of May, and that means that it's only one thing... Well there are two things in the Netherlands I mean since today is Dodenherdenking or Memorial Day and it's 80 years after the end of World War 2, and I will remember them... On another note though, and more of a main thing in our household is that it's Star Wars Day... May the Fourth be with you... 

As I am living in a home with a born and raised Star Wars fan, he was born the same year as Star Wars was first released it's a feeling of family I think lol, I knew that HellBone would be interested to help me create a Star Wars scene for the day. I had a plan in mind, and then he took over... 
I had to create the perfect look for the Sith that Rudh would be... She'd never make a Jedi - in the same way she'd never make anything other than Slytherine in Hogwarts - but isn't all the good things for the bad guys... I stumbled upon a soon-to-be-released outfit from AsteroidBox for the May round for Equal10. The Janie Outfit can be worn with or without the trousers, and does have some BOM Panties to wear under the dress, BUT like I said it won't be available until May 10th!!!
It's the perfect outfit for a dark little Sith as her army helps to take down those pesky X-Wing Fighters...

My Own Roaring 1920s!

Sometimes I do a little random. Sometimes I do things that get lost of the realms of high fantasy. Sometimes I do things that are a litte more grounded in realism, although those things my be based on stories of their own too... No matter what I do it's always done with love and happiness and it makes me smile to do whatever I feel like... Today I went with a story from someone else's mind, and an event theme that was a little outside my usual ball park... 

Normally I feel more like I should avoid anything Art Deco, but when the Anthem line-up was announced to be Great Gatesby themed ca me intrigued. I more often than not vere towards designs that are more Art Nouveau, than Art Deco - they are easy to tell apart Art Nouveau looks like it's been made by the elves, Art Deco is more harsh lines and bold prints and looks more like it's been made by the dwarves - but this was interesting, and even though I'm not really a Great Gatesby fan, I kinda liked what I did!!!

Santa's Favourite Ho Ho Ho

It's been a long day and tomorrow will only be worse, but I'm so glad it's getting closer to Christmas and getting home to see the hubby had put the tree up and added the lights made me feel even more festive... 
Though this time of year I feel like an over worked elf in a yucky retail setting, though instead of being a worker elfI got a promotion this year, and became a slightly more important worker elf... 

The naughty little elf that I am, is so far down the naughty list that she has to find a way to boost herself back up. As a slightly more important elf, there is a sure fire way, Santa knows where all the naughty girls are, and there have been a few that taught me a few little tricks as a way to make sure Santa knows I can be good at certain things... 
Bring Santa a tankard of ale, and put on a little show while he relaxes before his big day... Even better if you wait until Mrs Claus has gone to bed and you dress yourself in ribbons and step up onto the Holiday Pole Stage - from MadPea at the current round of ACCESS until January 8th - to shake yourself off the naughty list...
