Song for Charlotte

This was a gift from a friend from Norway.
Thank you, our friend!

♥ ------ The Crow Tune---- And the man he went walking in the firewood forest. Heifara, in the firewood forest! There sat a Crow in the forest cawing. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the man he thought to him self, Heifara, to him self: Wonder if that Crow wants to kill me? Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the man he turned his horse around, Heifara, turned his horse around. And back to his farm he drove. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! Oh hear my husband, I ask you now: Heifara, ask you now: where is the firewood you brought for me? Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! I brought you no firewood today, Heifara, no firewood today, For the Crow she swore to kill me dead. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! Oh never such shame I've heard! Heifara, such shame I've heard! Have you heard that a Crow can kill a man? Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! But the Crow came up on the roof and cawed, Heifara, the roof and cawed And the man he ran to the forest. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the man he prepared the bow by his knee. Heifara, by his knee. The he shot the Crow so she fell down. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! The he fastened horses ten, Heifara, horses ten, but the Crow she was too much for them. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! Then he fastened horses twelve, Heifara, horses twelve, and dragged the Crow to the barn-floor. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! Then he skinned the Crow and divided her in cuts. Heifara, divided her in cuts. She weighted close to six and twenty pounds. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! From the skin he made 12 pairs of shoes. Heifara, 12 pairs of shoes. The best pair he gave to mother. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the meat he salted in barrels and brine, Heifara, barrels and brine, And the tongue he used for the Christmas feast. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! From the intestines he made 12 pairs of rope. Heifara, 12 pairs of rope. And the claws he used as a pitchfork flinging dung. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the beak he used for a church boat, Heifara, a church boat, So they could row back and forth. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And the mouth he used to grind grain, Heifara, to grind grain, And the ears he used as a clarion. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! From the eyes he made window glass. Heifara, window glass. And the neck he put on the church for show. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura! And those who can't use a Crow that well, Heifara, that well, He's not worth having a crow. Hei fara! Falturilturaltura!

Eve Sighting

Face ups and finish work on two Eves by EarthSpirits.

Someday, my own Eve will look so lovely.

Planning the Luncheon

Yes, we really are planning the Luncheon.

Our fairy named November Magpie is coming along nicely.

She is our Simply Divine Luncheon event dollie.

Our goal is to be able to have her available for pick up at the Luncheon.

♥

This video is from Norway.
Do not worry, the party will be nothing like this.
The only thing which is wild is our sense of humor.

Turn off the sound before you click it.

You're Invited

When Mr.Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much excitement in Hobbiton.

♥

Luncheon Planning is progressing.

We have not set the date yet.

We are still thinking about mid-August.

♥

We would like as many people as possible to be invited by word of mouth.
Meaning: the entire party would be a great success if it was comprised of friends and friends-of-friends.
So, please begin inviting your friends.

The party will be a lovely opportunity to get out and catch up with everyone.

One Dollar White Elephant

♥

If you are attending the party, we request that you bring a one dollar white elephant gift.

♥

For those of you who do not know what a 'white elephant gift' is, it is this:

A tidbit, a token, a flotsam, a jetsam.

♥

All of the white elephant gifts will be placed on one table.  Everyone will pick one.

♥

Each of the gifts is to be carefully wrapped and artfully tied with a snippet of ribbon, or lace, or a flower.

♥

If you bring more than one white elephant gift, you will get to select more than one.

♥

Please consider bringing extras as there are always those of us who forget to bring any.

We do not want anyone to go without.

A white elephant gift does not have to be 'new'. 

A white elephant gift does not have to be doll-related.

A white elephant gift can be anything 'cool'.

Please do not give white elephant 'joke' gifts.

Please make it be something that you would not mind receiving for yourself and that you would like to share with your dollie friends.

November Magpie

Is the name of our fairy.

We are still hoping for a mid-August 2012 party date

Simply Divine

♥

Recently, I was asked to explain Divine and 'Simply Divine'.  

I thought that everyone who follows the horses in my stable already knows what we are building.

It seems that not everybody does.

So, here is the explanation.

♥

'Simply Divine' is the product line.  In New York, in general, it is a phrase.  New Yorkers, when they see something that they like, they purposely *squee* in a put on snotty voice, "Dahhhhhhling, it's Divine! It's SIMPLY DIVINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

So, it is a play on New York wording.  Divine is my American Beauty black horse.  'Black Beauty' being the book about the wonderful horse.  So, Divine is so powerful, so wonderful, that he can be anything.  He can have any parts. He can have any head.  And, He is 'Simply Divine' even by any other name.

So, yes:  Charlotte and Christopher are 'Divine', they are both 'Simply Divine'.

The thought process is this:  We are not creating multiple entities with what we are making.  We are creating one Divine entity.  All permutations of Divine.  Then, a person just picks what they want in order to create their own vision of the Divine.

♥

We consider Divine's head to be the most valuable part of Him.

Yes, it is a Full Choice System where you buy only the parts that you need.

♥

Divine wears a mask to all of the Masquerade Parties.

We do our best to keep Him supplied with what he needs.

Versailles

The King's hair reminded me of what Divine's hair currently looks like. Everything reminds me of Divine. Divine is currently off being painted by Sdink.

The end of part one features a Masquerade Ball.

Dorian Gray

♥

"You have a wonderfully beautiful face, Mr. Gray. Don't frown. You have.

 And Beauty is a form of Genius, is higher indeed than Genius, as it needs no explanation.

 It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight,or spring-time, or the reflections in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon.   It cannot be questioned. 

 It has its Divine right of sovereignty.

It makes princes of those who have it."

- The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

The Ballad of Maxwell Demon

I did receive a complaint on "the green thing" that is in this video clip.  This had been blogged on Orchid's Blog and it upset someone enough for them to write to me.

So, if you are sensitive to "green things" or their bad behavior, do not watch this.



Notice that JRM wears perfect 'horse garb'. I could not conceive of a more perfect horse.

Thomas Pics !

Cheryl has finished the paint on Thomas.

  We will be putting pics of him out and about.
