Huuricane warning for Britain

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/270321 
Well,the way the Met Office is forecasting in the moment we're not in the severe weather zone, the north and Scotland are getting hit more, but I'm prepared for some nasty weather if it should come ! Bring it on Katia :)

Another long shift !

Hello again, tonight I'm on for another long 12 hour shift, but that means I have the day to myself and so far I have been catching up in here.
I made another layout last night after doing a card reading for a friend with that new kit I have been working on so I thought I do a quick post to show it. And mother here needed a new Profile picture,lol.
I like how this turned out- plainly got mischief written all over it !

And I'm really loving working with this new kit ! I do like a kind of scrapbook diary of different stages in my life , this is one of the pages for it.

Well, the housework is done , so I will get ready to catch a little fresh air now and then just chill out before work.

Can a Witch be a Lightworker ,lol?

Apparently so.....hello from windy and rainy England.
We're having strong winds up to 35 mph , temperatures in the 50ies during the day, dropping lower at night and it looks like summer is over.
Back to my title, I told you a while ago I was learning more and making progress with psychic work. I also told before about my Warrior Spirit Guide. Well....I kept finding white feathers , the number sequences 22.22 and 2.22 kept coming up everywhere. Now if you look into numerology and meaning of numbers you find this:222 is confirmation of the ideas you had that are aligned with your soul’s purpose in this lifetime. It is confirmation that your recent thoughts are on the right path and that you should take the next step.
And 2222:It signals a time of change on your path. It means a new beginning, a breath of fresh air. If you are seeing repeating numbers, consider yourself fortunate to have realized that you do. Let the numbers be your physical connection that the angels do indeed have messages for you if you are willing to listen and pay attention.
I keep getting more and more messages and was told I am a Light worker.So I will carry on with this , carry on to study healing , help my fellow Wiccans in the Wiccan connection and learn more. 
So now I am not only working with the Wiccan Gods/Goddesses and Deities , but also Angels and Archangels-what a turn-around,lol .If somebody would have told me that 2 years ago I would have said "you're nuts". Currently I'm studying material from Doreen Virtue , my intuition and empathy keeps getting stronger and I am strongly influenced by Native Shamanic material as well.
Anyway.....the leaves are starting to change colour, this little tree is getting a distinctive red tint on its leaves now.

And the Hops is ripe-anybody fancy brewing?

There are plenty of  acorns and chestnuts this year and the squirrels have already begun to get their Winter stash together.

I played a bit with the new kit I have been making after work , to relax, and this is one of the layouts.

 That's all for now though, I have dinner to cook and then some more housework, so till next post -Hugs Snowy

Finally...... the kit is in store !

Hi all, finally got it done this morning and set up the Summer Wedding kit in the store.
But the best news is that I got the sofa almost finished last night. I only have to do a few seams tonight and stitch on some poppers and velcro to hold the cushions in place. From a horrible grey threadbare cover to a golden bright and brand new looking sofa for $40.00 material costs !

The cats had their own way of helping- NOT ! Piles of fabric are too tempting to make a bed in , and even the attacking the sewing machine was fun with the continously sliding and moving material ...Does he look comfy, or what?

Today its a case of making 2 more Dreamcatchers on order.
But let me show the kit and sampler previews available in store now.

That's it,lol- and should I show you a little teaser of what's coming next? Yeah, why not....

I took the pic on my last walk to the beach , sitting on one of the wooden beams. Anyway -that's all again -lots to do as always,lol

Catch up time

Hi all,
as usual after a batch of shifts I have been busy to catch up with work in here again. I have uploaded the new kit but had no time yet to actually put in into the store and set up the price codes on Pay pal. The dates for my next USA trip are set ! Its going to be October next year again.I would have liked to go earlier but as we are meeting up in a group with Pixie and Jesse coming from Indie, Ricky & Co from Oklahoma and possibly even Eddy from Canada we all have to save up and wanted to pick a time that enables us to do some things together. Scott is hosting the annual Witches Ball every year and we decided we are all going to the Ball ! So it will be a big meeting up with Nikki and BF ,who live close anyway  and we are looking to rent a Condo or Apartment with more than one bedroom, live together and share the price.My journey will start in Plymouth though with a visit to Julie Dyke-Cowden and from there I will slowly work my way through. Guess I will also have a stop in Easton and maybe Randolph ..... ??? It didn't work out last time to see Edna , so maybe this next time,lol.
Our communal stairwell has finally been treated for fleas as well , there was a strong smell of the spray around yesterday. I am glad, because that means now I don't have to worry about the little pests coming into my flat from there anymore. I was still being bitten every time I had to go into the basement to get out my bike.
The sofa project is slowly progressing as well, All cushions are done , I just have to put some poppers and Velcro at the backs to keep them in place and do the main cover underneath the cushions. And I think I will need some more fabric as well.

I have a new addiction,lol. I spend quite a bit of time on Pininterest, a site for design and crafts. There is everything from sewing , crotchet, knitting, cooking and baking , -and lots more. Not only do you get detailed recipes and instructions , but also a lot of inspiration. Like this little project I made last night. It's standing on a miniature easel for display and is just too cute.

And I just had to take a picture of my windowsill peppers before harvesting them -damn they are hot ! Kyra, you can see one of the presents you sent me for x-mas last year in the background ,lol.
I will start my x-mas projects as son as the sofa is ready and make up little gifts for my friends to send. Last year wasn't much of a x-mas for us , not only the events but also financially as well. So this year it will be better again.

And would you believe I have another kit ready? Well, the Wedding kit comes out first, so this other new one will be a total surprise , hehehehe.....but now I have to go, I have already done my housework, had a bath -all I have to do now is do my hair and then I will go out into town and get some more fabric to finish the sofa covers. and not to forget some more cat food !
Here is one more picture from the Wedding, I love this one of Shaun and myself. One of the funniest things at the Wedding was when I was asked if he is my boyfriend.... do I look that young or Shaun that old? I heard the expression toy boy, but hell....19 would be far too young if even if he would not be my son,lol ! Till next post-Hugs Snowy

More Wedding pics

Good morning,
here are a few more pics from the wedding, this time I picked some funny ones ,lol.

That middle finger was meant for Roy who shot this photo !
I don't think I need to comment on this one. That's Sarah's hubby, Sarah in red, Diane and hubby Ron -my Tattoist,Crispy and his wife Nat. She will be trained up to be the new girl at work soon- fits well into the team ! As crazy as we all are ;)

And ...oh my Goddess, what was I doing there? Looks as if I was starting to sing ? You can see a bit more of my dress there, it's an empire style. Somehow manages to make you look pregnant but damn comfortable,lol. The little black velvet shrug came off later in the night when I got too hot from dancing.

Roy gave me a disc with his pics yesterday -over 350 ! He asked me to upload  them for him , it only took me 2 hours.
Today is recovery day, 3 night shifts means catch up on some sleep,go shopping and fill up the fridge, tidy up and clean and finally carry on a bit with those sofa covers. I am an idiot and have to undo the last one as I stitched the wrong side shut. That happens when you are tired and lacking concentration. In the moment I'm chilling on the sofa with my laptop in "Tinkerbell " pyjamas. Hey ho.... a Goth in white and pink Tinkerbell? Well, they are comfy and were cheap in the Sale...I kinda like them. I'm glad to hear everybody made through Irene safely.Some still have no power but are coping ok. Anyway- I'm off for now, leaving you with  song we danced to at the Wedding .....the Cha Cha Slide , it filled the dancefloor for a funny group dance -the Party hit !

First Wedding layouts with my Quickpages

Hello, loooove just being able to slide the photos behind the pre-made quickpages of the Wedding kit, so quick to do while not having much time ! Yeah, I'm teasing as well.....before I actually put the kit into the store,lol.

hmmm...Nat is still feeling the effects of her hangover,lol. Sarah was still knackered when I saw her last night and my own voice still sounds rather husky. We have been drinking water and replacing the fluids the past days like crazy, my mouth felt all dry the whole time. Well known fact that alchol dehydrates you. Well, at least I wasn't the one drinking from the bottle....so lowers the tone , don't you think?

In case you wonder about the dress...yes,I did buy a floor length cream dress, but loking at the wet weather and the grassy soft grounds of Somerleighton Hall I decided not to ruin it and chose a little shorter black dress instead.
Here you see Sarah, Roy and Nat - my drinking and mischief buddies,lol

And  we had a piper and drummer there, I wanted to know if they are true Jocks , but they refused to show.....go figures,lol

These pics outside were taken in the few lucky moments between all the rain showers ..... more coming ,lol.

Irene has been busy , and Snowy as well...

Hi all, first of all Irene has been causing some problems among a lot of my friends, but some are still able to post via their phones. From Nikki : Report outages 800-465-1212 New England and 800-867-5222 NY. This is from national grid
Then, I have finally recovered from my hangover ! Here are the first photos.The location-Somerleyton Hall

The Bride and her maids

The Groom Eric

This is the hall with all the tables , nicely decorated

The decorations were beautiful

The meal was a starter of Melon topped with Parma Ham and Rocket lettuce, then the main course a Traditional Roast beef with Potatoes and vegetables , for afters it was Strawberry sundae.
The table decorations were not only popular with the kids -I collected the feathers not only for my dreamcatchers,lol- happy mood and laughter at our table !
Sarah caught me sticking the feathers into my hair while waiting for Desert.

That's it for today , more to show in my next post .For now I have to grab some beauty sleep because I am working night shift for the next 3 nights. Till next time-Hugs Snowy

Irene has started

Thoughts are with friends in the path of Irene in the moment.I have just read that they are feeling the impact now. I have a few friends there,like Morgana etc,so I hope they are all safe.I know a lot of  friends have been preparing for it,like drinking water for those with wells which don't work if  power goes and more.Here is a link which shows what people experience so far. Be safe http://www.weather.com/social/fullfeed/Morehead+City+NC+USNC0464

Sewing progress

Hi and good morning,
thought I pop in quickly and show what I've done so far....
First cushion.....

...with number 2  it gives a better idea what it might look like when it's done.

Hmmmm I wonder if Shaun complains when I pull out the next one from under his ass?

These cushions are the easier parts to do, it's the huge cover which covers the whole sofa underneath the cushions which will be the real challenge.It's made up from 8 pieces which have to be sewn together just right to fit the sofa. Plus I will do matching covers for the scatter cushions -this will take some time to do, and once back at work I won't be able to do as much. But looking at it with it's bright new material -it will be well worth all the work !I'm even thinking about getting a bit more of this fabric and sewing matching curtains ....
Well, after a lot of sewing I needed to relax and chill out in a different way for a while-so here is a pic I made with pieces of the new kit I'm working on.

Today is another busy day, get last preps for Wedding done , which is tomorrow. That includes a bath tonight, a manicure and pedicure as well, I have to pack my dress etc and take it to work to get changed there, and then straight to the wedding.The card I made for the happy couple needs some last touches as well, plus I want to get a bit more on my sofa done. Oh yes- more batteries as well ! And I need to buy some more cat food. So there- I'll be back,lol .
Hugs Snowy

Creative

Hi again,
Wedding kit ready and uploading to go into the store tomorrow evening, another kit in the making and I started on yet another project !  My sofa is a few years old, the only thing wrong with it are the covers. So I have decided to give my old sofa a make-over. Via Facebook I am on all sorts of creative sites , so when I came across this one I said to myself" What a bloody good idea ! " Annabella shows how much difference new slipcovers for the sofa make. http://annabellea.com/blog/2011/07/10/drop-cloth-sofa-slipcover/
So yesterday morning I went to the Come and sew Centre, purchased lots of fabric to do the same. I started last night -will show some pics in another post, but as it grew later Sam seemed to say : "Enough sewing for tonight, I want cuddles" and sat down on my chair.

This is the material for the sofa, a yellow/gold tone with floral shiny pattern

I picked up my electronic cigarette at the post office yesterday. As usual it was delivered while I was asleep after night shift the morning before. And guess what? While I was out picking it up my Amazon packet came....so I will have to cycle up there again today,lol. I charged the batteries for the e-cig and gave it a try. In stead of my normal pack of 20 cigarettes yesterday I made it down to 13 , not too bad for a start. That's counting from the morning before I even had the device and then I had to wait until it was charged up. And I told you I was also busy in between with other craft projects. Here are two of them. A deco heart on my bathroom wall, fitting with the seaside theme. It's painted white and I attached a  ribbon,shell, flower and a baby seagull feather my son picked up for me.

Here is a vintage metal plate which I decorated

That's all for now, need to get ready and pick up my Amazon Packet -till next post.Hugs :)
