Snowy Pinecones

Today our Countdown to Solstice project was

to make these cute little snowy pinecones.

all you need is a pinecone

some white glue

colored glitter...we chose white,

so it would look like snow.

then you just take a paintbrush or a Q-tip and layer the glue on each edge

i did a few at a time, and then sprinkled the glitter on it, i kept doing this until each one

was a pretty white snowy tip. :)

It looks really cute sitting under my lil Solstice tree!! 

Faery Ornaments

 

Our Countdown to Solstice project for today was to make

an ornament...so we headed off to the craft store to see what we could see...

my youngest daughter found these lil glass balls, and wanted to fill them with mosses

and herbs we have at home...sooo...

that is what we did...making these adorable little faery Ornaments!!

 

Holiday Colouring Page

Last nights holiday countdown pick, was to colour a holiday pic.

i chose a Victorian girl and then added the snowflakes with my trusty

stamps and a dark blue ink. :)

Faerie Yoga Meditation

 With the holidays being so stressful for everyone...i thought i would post a 

lil magickal Faerie yoga meditation piece...i came across this one

in my new FAE magazine and thought i would share it with you.

Enjoy!!

Find a quiet, peaceful place for your meditation where you will not be disturbed. Then choose a comfortable seated position, either cross legged (imagine you are sitting on a toadstool) or kneeling or sitting on edge of your favourite chair. Use the softest cushions to support you and have a fluffy blanket on you incase you get a chill. Spoil yourself.

Centre yourself now by extending your spine. Imagine your spine is like the stem of a beautiful, elegant rose and the crown of your head is being lifted up to the sky. Ground yourself by rooting your sitting bones into the floor.

Your shoulders are beginning to relax away from your ears, relax your jaw too and rest your tongue on the lower palate. Feel a soft touch on the point between your eyebrows and feel that point opening and softening. Place your hands on your knees, palms up and connect your thumbs and index fingers together on each hand.

Take you time to create a peaceful state where you can find stillness and when you are ready, tune into your breath...Observe and follow each inhalation from beginning to end and each exhalation from beginning to end. Mentally note the natural pauses, the still points after each inhale and after each exhale. the pauses are special places, magick places of absolute bliss. Feel the sensation of your breath passing through the back of your throat and inside your nose. The mind may drift. This is normal. Become aware of it drifting and bring it back to the breath. Breath is life, life is breath.

Practice for ten to fifteen minutes at first and when you are ready, open your eyes and have a big stretch.
The best time to practice is first thing in the morning, but anytime is better than no time. Listen to your body, i hope the meditation makes you peaceful and happy and ready to spread your wings and fly.

Namaste

Salt Dough Ornaments

 On our countdown to Solstice, 

the tag of the day was to make Salt Dough ornaments...

so i searched online and found this recipe, so that is what we used!!

i have to say that it was pretty easy to mix up and then

we just used cookie cutters for our desired shape...

then in the oven they went to bake.

When they came out, they looked like the above pic.

Then we let them cool and pulled out the acrylic paints.

These are the ones that i made! You can't tell in the picture, but there is 

a light pink pearlesque sheen to them.

so pretty!!

i can't wait to hang them on our tree!!

Hope you are having a Great night!!!

Lil Solstice Tree

On our Countdown to Solstice, today, we picked to put up and decorate our Solstice tree. SOOO...Daddy said that this year, i could has my own lil tree...so we found one that would fit on top of my dresser. i loved this one, because it fit perfectly, and was soo cute, but big enough that i could hang up all the ornaments that i had been collecting and making through out the year. i especially heart my lil Angel that is my topper. She is soo pretty. :D ...and apparentley, my lil side loves pink and white. <giggles>

Letters to Winter Faeries (Santa)

Hope everyone is having a wondrous Monday!!!

 Our second thing on our paper flag countdown to Solstice was to write a letter to the Winter Faeries!! i loved this cute paper with the flowers and stars in the background, it seemed very "fae" to me. :)

Babygirl Thoughts...

i had a talk with a friend of mine today...and we got to talking about babygirls versus little girls and what and if there is a difference. i think it is all a matter of opinion. i consider myself a babygirl, babydoll, little girl...whatever fits the dynamic between me and my Daddy. i know that when some hear the name "babygirl" the thought of a little girl wearing diapers and sucking on her binky runs through their head...which can be correct. But...a babygirl is also the girl who just wants to be cherished and adored for who she is, no matter what age she is. Big, little, middle or otherwise.

As a babygirl, there are a few things i need...

~knowing that Daddy is there for me no matter what. That He can be in control and know what i need... even if i don't.

~being able to have boundaries and expectations and set consequences for not adhering to those boundaries and expectations.

~knowing that i have the opportunity to embrace all the things that make me smile and giggle...whether that is being pushed on a swing, blowing bubbles, or screaming "fuck me harder, Daddy" as He just takes what is His.

~knowing that when i need to be little or just "be"...that Daddy can take care of everything and not everything is put on my shoulders.

~being allowed the freedom to explore all those dark deep mysteries within...the ones that i find taboo yet, just the thought turns me on...

~knowing that i am His only one. i know that for some, sharing their Daddy with sisters (or brothers) is a natural part of the dynamic...but not for me. Sharing is not something i do well, and so i just won't. i need to be at the center of His world, and i will do whatever He wants or needs, for me to continue to be that one that is there.

~i need to know that Daddy is capable of making sure that we get quality time together to nurture our dynamic...like dates and treats...even if this is just an unplanned ride in the car, or a picnic in the park...or something more spectacular like a concert or movie date...i need to not always be the one who plans everything down to the last detail...it is exhausting for those of us who are babygirls/littles.

~i need to know that you love me and cherish me, and that you need me as much as i need you.

~i need for you to make time for me. Brush my hair, tell or read me stories, give me baths, choose my clothing (if this is something you wish...i won't mind), let me know what you expect of me that day...or any day...set a whole schedule if that is what you desire. The fact that you took the time to think about it, shows me that i was on your mind and that you were thinking of me...and that alone will make me a very happy girl.

~make a big deal out of things. Make my birthday special. Don't forget holidays like Valentines, the Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice. Don't be ashamed if i want to dress up for Halloween. Allow me to be little if and when needed. (and mind you...even though i may love the fact of a stocking for Solstice...filling it with "big girl" and "little girl"stuff is way awesome...as even though i don't play with toys, there are still some that i collect.) i never had holiday's be special when i was a kid, so i don't know what it is like to have a wonderful birthday party that i didn't plan myself, or presents under the tree, that i didn't pick out myself etc...feeling like i am special enough that someone thinks i deserve that, would be wonderful.

~don't tell me i am perfect. This makes me feel like i have no further purpose and don't need to try anymore. i think this is a chicken way of you telling me that you don't want to try to do what i need from you.

~Don't make me sleep alone every night. and if i do need to go to bed without you, take the time to tuck me in and kiss me goodnight...maybe even snuggle me for a few minutes.

~Don't laugh if i sleep with a stuffed bunny, (or teddy or anything for that matter)...i need the comfort of knowing that something is there watching over me and protecting me.

~stand up for me. show me that you care and that i am important to you.

~don't hide your jealousy or possessiveness. i WANT to know that you care enough to want to keep me to yourself.

~make the effort to do the things you know i need, even if it isn't your thing...sometimes i just need to be flogged or spanked. The pain is a release for me. Makes me feel alive and helps my body let go of all the toxins and crap that builds up causing me anxiety and stress. For me, that is a need. and i always feel a whole lot better after it is over. :)

~don't be afraid to push my limits. yes i am a girl, but i am strong and not easy to break. i love your hand around my neck, choking me. i love you pulling my hair as you whisper threats into my ear. i love it when you just take me, when and how you want it. When you are indecisive, i don't respect you. When you are immature, i don't respect you. When you don't follow through, i don't respect you. and above all, i need to respect you. Without that, we have nothing.

~and lastly, communicate with me. Tell me what you need. Tell me what you want. Tell me when i have done something you aren't happy with, or when i have done something you are! i need to know, i want to know. Be willing to compromise or at least hear what i have to say. Because just like with respect...without communication, we have nothing. and as your babygirl, i want everything with you.

For babygirls, Daddies are our world. We look to them for guidance and love. For opening us up and pushing our limits...molding us into the girls we all have the potential to be...we just sometimes get lost. We need to please you. Nothing makes us happier than to hear you tell us "good girl" or "i am so proud of you". We will give you anything. and usually we only have a few "limits"...but again, with communication, those things would be known and discussed how to be handled.

A last thought on this. As a Daddy, take pride in yourself. Use manners and proper etiquette. Dress well, and keep yourself well groomed. Smell delicious and be clean. Get tested and take care of your health. Not doing these things sends the message that you don't care about yourself, which tells me that you are probably incapable of caring about me, as well. and if you make the effort for me...i will most certainly and happily make the effort for you.

 (i am lucky that i have a wonderful Daddy...but these are the things that i knew i needed and wanted...and so i thought i would share)

Making Holiday Magnets

 Hello!!! Happy December all!!!

Today we pulled off the first flag of our countdown to the Winter Solstice...and we got to decorate little wooden holiday designs and turn them into magnets for the fridge. :) These are mine. i got the angel and the sleigh. You can't really tell, but the pink is a shimmer pink...very girly and sooo pretty!!! They were fun to make!! and then i added on a pink bow to the angels hair and the pink rose to the sleigh...i love how it gave them some dimension. :D

Wishing you peace, love, and good happiness stuff!!

Countdown to Winter Solstice

As a standard, every Black Friday i make a paper chain to start on December first and count down to the Winter Solstice. On the back of each link, i write one thing to make or do as a family...thus setting the tone for the holiday, about Family and not materialism.

This year, i decided to make this adorable little flag banner type...but i linked it all together with a cute pink ribbon. Each flag counts back to Solstice and has the day it corresponds to, and also some cute stars...all to represent the coming of the darkest and longest night...the Winter Solstice.

The backs are written in silver, and i chose from this list...

~ Write letters to the Winter Faeries (or Santa)
~ Make and/or mail out holiday cards
~ Paint wooden holiday magnets
~ Make and decorate paper snowflakes
~ Decorate the home and put up holiday tree
~ Send out Secret Faerie
 ~ Do something nice for someone else
~ Make home made holiday ornaments
~ Color holiday pictures
~ Decorate pinecones
~ Go for a walk and do a little scavenger hunt for winter animals/plants/trees (learn their names and uses)
~ Find/Make and decorate a Yule log
~ Adopt an endangered animal
~ Volunteer at the local food bank, animal shelter, soup kitchen
~ Donate food, clothing, coats to shelters
~ Go caroling for the elderly
~ Write your own 12 days of Solstice/Christmas song
~ Make a bird feeder out of a orange
~ Take a ride in the car, drink hot chocolate and look at all the holiday lights
~ Go caroling
~ Make holiday cookies
~ Family game night
~ Holiday movie night (with cuddles and talks after)
~ Holiday Story reading (more cuddles and talks)
~ Make salt dough ornaments
~ Make and play with magic fake snow (this can be done inside)
~ Make food for the reindeer (or in my house, faery friends)...be sure to not use anything with chocolate, glitter, or sugar, as these things are not safe for animals to ingest.
~ Set intentions for the upcoming year
~ Make dream pillows
~ Make stars and moons and suns to hang in windows (or draw them with window markers)

These are just some ideas we have used over the years in my family...but you can make or add your own also. :)

i will be posting pictures of the things we do this year!! i would love to see or hear about the things you do as well. :)

If it weren't for bad luck...

Chibi from "The Birthday Massacre"

sooo...tonight was "The Birthday Massacre/Emilie Autumn" concert in Boston!! i was so excited to go, as i saw The Birthday Massacre about 6 years ago and they were incredible...so i have been waiting for them to come back around here again...because...well, they are my absolute favorite band and have been for nearly 9 years now...

sooo, a few months ago, i got my tickets and my son, who is now 20 years old, was supposed to come also...so it would have been our first concert together...but he scratched the cornea of his eye and literally can't see anything right now, so he decided to stay home (which i was bummed about)...

and soooo...tonight, we left 2 1/2 hours earlier for the show because Boston is an hour away from where i live...and i figured traffic etc...well...apparently i should have left at like 3pm...because we were stuck in traffic for literally 3 hours...and then i had to pee so badly, that we had to stop at a Whole Foods so i could go potty...then back on the road, they had a detour which got us lost...so Daddy stopped for directions...at this point, the show has already started and i am praying that Emilie would go on first...but no such luck...we finally get there about 8:05pm and literally get to see the birthday massacre taking down their set...we literally missed their entire set. :( i wanted to cry. But Daddy was a super hero and at least got me a kick ass Chibi autographed pic and an awesome birthday massacre colorful tape rose...

...after that i was so upset, because lets be honest, the whole reason i was going was to see MY favorite band...so i looked up at Daddy and just asked Him to brings me home. i wanted to cry, right in the middle of the club...but i didn't. we walked back to the car in the pouring rain, and drove home...but Daddy did another wonderful thing for me...he stopped at McD's and got me a happy meal (sans burger) and they messed up and gaved me TWO build a bear toys in it. :D so i gots a cute lil gingerbread girl and a cute lil teddy...oh and chocolate chip cookies, cause Daddy knows i loves them and don't gets them very often.
so yeh...after all was said and done...

we spent:
$56 for tickets to the show
$30 in gas
$2.50 in tolls
$10 for parking
$25 for the autograph pic (which is authentic)

quite an expensive night, to not even be able to see my band. :( soo now...i guess i will be waiting again until the next time they come...le sigh

But thank you Daddy, for being so wonderful and taking me anyways, an for trying to cheer me up when all i wants to do is cry...cause i am so uber bummed...

i is a sad sad lil girl tonights. :(

On a brighter note...one positive thing did come out of tonight...i came home to finding out that my writing that i posted last night has made it to Kinky and Popular on Fetlife...soo whoo hooo for me. :)

Just because i am little...

Some things that i just have to say.

Just because i am little...

~doesn't mean that i can't carry an adult conversation. i am actually quite good at this...try it and see. ;)
~or that i don't know or understand what you are talking about. i have a vast amount of understanding and empathy.
~it doesn't mean that i can't take care of myself...i have been doing a fabulous job of it my whole life...without anyone else taking care of me.
~it doesn't mean that i am incapable or unworthy...
~and it doesn't mean that i am YOURS.
~it doesn't mean that i am mentally unstable, or that i can't handle anything...you would be surprised at how incredibly strong i am, both emotionally and physically.
~or that i can't make choices...is it hard to decide? yes...but i can do it. lol
~it doesn't mean i don't know what manners, ethics or morals are...in fact, i have a rather high set of standards that i choose to live by.
~it also doesn't mean that i don't know how to use proper grammar. i just choose to write how i talk sometimes...especially when in little mode.
~it doesn't mean that my feelings are not valid or that i should be "seen" and not "heard". in all honesty...i have very many good ideas and am really good at figuring things out. :)

but what it does mean is that...

~i am always honest and say what i mean and mean what i say.
~that i can be very sensitive and i pretty much wear my heart on my sleeve.
~that i care about everything...maybe too much sometimes, but it is only because i want to help, want to learn, and want to make others happy.
~that i see the wondrous things around me daily that most just don't see anymore...like the ants who work together, or the beautiful spider web glistening with morning dew...the smell of roses and the sound the sparrows singing...these are the things that bring me the greatest joy...and if there is a rainbow...i can be happy for days. :)
~that i am very creative...i will color, write poems, paint, work with clay, beads and other crafty things...
~and i will squeee over things i love and have silly toys and dolls and a bed full of stuffies...
~and yes, i will have a huge Hello Kitty collection, because it ties me to the good things that happened in my childhood (and there are sooo few of those)
~it means that i will love deeply and unconditionally and that i will expect the same in return.
~and i will be loyal, honest and the best girl i can be.

Because i am little. Which has been, and always will be, the biggest and best part of me.

(i am sure i will have more to add to this later, but i had to get down what was on my mind now, before i forgotted it all. lol)

Rainbow Cupcakes

 Hellooo!!!

i got to try something new today!! i made these adorable rainbow cupcakes!!! i was so happy with how they came out and it was so much easier than i thought it would be!!

i started out with just a box of white cake mix...i made it as the directions called for...and then i took out one cup and set it in a bowl...i did this four more times, until i had five bowls full...then i added red, yellow, green, blue and then blue and red (to make purple) to the cake mix. leaving me with a rainbow of colors.

Next, i put my paper wrappers in my cupcake pans and started slowly putting one teaspoon of red in the bottom of each liner...next i did the yellow...then the green...then blue...and finally the purple. (as long as the color completely covers the bottom...they do not mix...they stay layered and bake in that same layer).

Once i finished with all the colors...i baked them as directed and when they came out...voile!! i had rainbow cupcakes!!! i topped them with yummy vanilla frosting and enjoyed my rainbow goodness!! :)

Because i am being true to myself. 

Honoring my needs and wants and my desire to share my

thoughts, experiences, creativity and love with others.

i am She.

Welcome to my life. i am not only a smart and loving woman, but i am also a genuine sweetheart of an adult little girl. i believe in faeries and magick. i pray to the moon and dance in the dark, i wish on dandelions and blow bubbles on the breeze. i color, i write, i watch princess movies, i count stars and have tea parties, i collect Hello Kitty and i sleep with stuffed bunnies. <giggles> and...i love to create things and make all different forms of art. i love love love all things vintage and victorian in style, and my otherworld self is an elegantly attired steampunk faerie. :)
