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...

A Walk in the Snow

Today has been massive amounts of chaos.. I was supposed to be at work, but that changed due to the arrival of the parts that wereneeded to make our new garden shed, and because they were too heavy to lift I COULD NOT help get them into the garden... SO I had to take today off work - luckily they could find cover for my shift - and then be at home while two young men, that really did NOT look od enough to be playing with power tools, were assembling the shed... Luckily HellBone got home, before they left without making sure things were finished or tidied up as they would have disappeared without saying anything and NOW we get to have the fun of contacting the company to get them to come and sort a few things out... FML... The building project has just begun and I cannot wait for it to be finished... 

I HAVE SO MUCH I could have been doing today, I should have been at work and now I'm left feeling shite because they were such cowboy builders... Where are the good guys like in the old days, that did a good job just for the respect that it would earn them... 
I've also had some horrible news regarding my mother and her RL sickness that turned her yellow... I'm not in a good place right now, and so I need to take a walk and get myself somewhere better brainspace wise. Maybe a walk to get me into a somewhat Christmassy Spirit?!

Stopping for the Hearts

This time of year is always a little weird, since Halloween has been and gone and everywhere is filled with Christmas for days... I LOVE Christmas, I admit that easily, but I don't like that it seems to start earlier and earlier every year... It's not even December and people are already beginning to get sick of it... It won't be ong till we all start acting like it's Valentine's Day soon, when in fact it's only the middle of January LOL... So I'm getting myself prepared in advance... Lots of hearts and a little romance... 

I know that I read far too much of the Dark Romance genre, but I do love the idea of a little bit of smut. I don't get any romance in RL, I love my hubby but his latest attempt at a date day was a trip to buy a new garden shed LOL... So the dark and some might say scary book boyfriends I have are the ones that I'd make my Valentine and enjoy the romantic darkness with them...

A Break for Veggies

I'm just home from work and it's been a long and kinda shitty day, but I'm off for the next two days and I plan on resting and relaxing... I will spend all day tomorrow reading books and MAYBE, just maybe find some time to cook something delicious for dinner... I've already stopped off to make sure I have all the groceries I need so I don't have to go out in the cold... 

I got home with the groceries, there was a LOT of fresh veggies today, along with somet things I'd abandoned onto the counter when I walked in... There was a HUGE pile of mail ready and waiting for me, Ive been ordering lots of things on Amazon to get ready for Christmas lol, and there are a few special gifts for myself of course, a girl needs her Christmas themed smut to get her through the upcoming festivities... 
I don't know if anyone else gets like this but sometimes when I'm reading I may have to reach for one of those special adult type toys that make you feel good, and today as I was reading and putting the groceries away I ended up needing a little help... No toys were to be found BUT there was a Flirty Eggplant - from MishMish - in the veggie crate, and well isn't that what the kids say is actually a penis emoji?! If it works, it works right? LOL... Excuse me for a minute, I'm gonna find out if it will work LOL...

Rituals for Salvage and Enchantment

Today has been a day off for me, and you can tell that it's been a day off because I've had a chance to get very creative and make something magical when it comes to blogging... Don't get me wrong I LOVE all of the things that I share here but there are some days when I feel like the magic is just that little more magical... 
It's getting magically cold, some might say somewhat Frostbitten and more than a little salvaged... Magically cold and collected from salvaged things... 

A Frozen Ritualist - which is actually the name of the tattoo from AURO, that you can get your hands on at the Frostbitten Enchantment Graveyard - was performing a Ritual - in a backdrop from FOXCITY - involving a mirror and a very large Tsarknife - from FOE, available now at Salvage Station - but ended up getting herself Possessed... Boken glass from the mirror went everywhere, including being embedded into her chest... Luckily she's magical and can withstand the pain...

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... It was good to have a good day today...

Jewels From Junk!

It has been a long week already and today should have been my day off, and I ended up at work. Luckilly I have a day off on Wednesday so I get two weekends this week kinda sorta... 
I have so much to do in the house, I've been a little lax and needing some time to catch up... I do also want to let my mind wander off to things that aren't helping me feel better. My mum is on my mind, she's in hospital and I'm worried without being able to see her face to face... Hence why today I'm thinking about making something to make her smile... 

My mum is a jeweller, she has been one for about 50 years, and what started as a Saturday job at a local family jewellery store saw her getting a degree in gemology with a specialisation in diamonds... She's BRILLIANT at just looking at a gemstone and saying if it's real or not... 
I was rooting around in the house and randomly decided to become a bit of a Junk Jeweler - thanks to a set released by random.Matter at Salvage Station, that runs until November 30th - so I've pulled some of my junk out to make the things, I've lit a few Vintage Oil Candles - which are a gorgeous release from Candle & Cauldron at Enchanment by the way - and grabbed a box of Skeleton Grahams - from Junk Food - that I had left over from Halloween and along with my BitterSync - from AxisMundi - Robot buddies, I am going to learn how to make something gorgeous out of trash...
