mhm struggling to keep my eyes open lol. Its called a ZZ plant :) ooh awesome :D so you paint 'em and add the crystals?

I am having a bit of a hard time staying awake myself. xD We are going to the Renaissance Faire tomorrow, so hopefully I will be rested enough for that! Oh cool, I had never heard of that type of plant before! I had to look it up. At first I thought maybe you were making a joke, since you were tired, lol.... Zzzzz. xD Yep, I paint them with acrylics and iridescent pigments, and then I glue on the sparklies. ;)

haha its going around. ooh lucky :D have fun <3 nope lol I didn't make it up xD awesome! I've seen some that have the canvas prints on them and you add the crystals

After that, I read that you were meant to keep the revs low.... but to get up the hill back to home, I was holding the clutch down a bit to keep the revs higher, and that seemed to work fine o.O laughs hehe she wasn't too impressed, hence the guns :P I did manage to drag them away from her today.... but only because I let her have the sword instead ;) It worked brilliantly :D I'd never have realised that was leg tattoos, I thought it was part of the stockings! :D

....one of those backgrounds kind of followed me home :P laughs I thought you'd recognise the ribs ;) Oddly enough, I was looking up a plant the other day (Mum saw one at the garden centre, but it was just labelled "indoor plant") and came across the zz plant online (never heard of that before!) ;) It wasn't what Mum spotted, but it looks pretty neat, especially when you see how little attention it needs! ;) That's a shame that it's toxic to cats though - hopefully Nigel & co will leave it alone if it's on a high enough shelf ;) Who's the character in your HA today?

[edit] Meet Bertram Bigfoot (as he really didn't look white enough to be a Yeti :P)

I especially like his face - that's meant to be an appliqued background, then the eyes mouth and teeth appliqued onto that.... but I cheated and just used fake fur, so I could trim it down and get a different look ;)

haha I thought you might buy one ;) and I must say i likes it a lot :D and all the purples you have on :D maybe you can get one :D I thnik they look spiffy. its Jean, Paul's wife. I know she looks a little different, but trying to get her some more black wigs. oh how precious he looks :D I love the tooth -giggles-

hehe it was a hard choice between those two purples :P ;) I'm going to wait and see if my dragon tree revives first - at the moment it's looking really poor, so if that doesn't improve, I'll need something big to replace it with! :D I still don't know how you keep track of them all :P laughs She does have a great sense of style though :D

hehe thanks :D The tooth is meant to be white, but Bigfoots.... bigfeet?? don't have toothbrushes and toothpaste, so surely they'd end up with creamy browny teeth? 😇 (of course it has nothing to do with me not being able to find my white felt, and having to use cream fake suede instead :P)

yeah that's why I went with the teal lol I wasn't sure which purple I wanted o.0 get a big zz plant :D lol. um, i just do? :P lol. Thanks :D I think both her and Paul are stylish--though Paul does wear more wizardy things (or robey style) where as Jean hated the uniforms in school.

hehe I think thats reasonable :P no, of course not

laughs I tried them both out in the wardrobe in the end, just to see what one went the best with the other stuff in there ;) ROFL I'll have to take another look at those and see what height they grow to ;) hehe she does come across as someone who has her own style, and wouldn't approve of having to conform to uniforms ;)

😇

hehe I would've too :D well they had some big ones at Pike's but probly not as big as that dragon tree. -nods- she totally didn't like wearing wizard clothes. Paul created his own style but he likes both muggle and wiz clothing.

having said that, most dragon trees aren't as big as the giant ones they sell at Homebase ;) She doesn't look like she'd be happy in sweeping wizarding robes ;) Does she still go for Muggle-style clothing even if she's at a wizarding function? ;)

and how much are the giant ones they sell at homebase? lol. she'll wear wizard dresses which, I thought looked rather dresslike for Hermonie's dress robes anyway.

they don't have the tallest ones on the website (think they were about 50 pounds o.O), but the 4-foot tall one is 30 pounds .... and I wouldn't spend that much on a plant! :P That's a good point actually - I think they cheated with Hermione's dress robes, and just read it as a dress (in the wrong colour :P) anyway ;) Where's Paul off to today? I love the autumnal look :D

:nods: That is always a bonus if you make clothes. :) At least if you are like me and are really bothered by imperfections- even if they are minor. lol

Visiting my sis today, so wont be here tonight :)

still 30 quid for a 4 foot tree isn't bad at all :D yes lol but it was a pretty dress and she looked lovely in it. that movie though was ugh...so much missing >.< thanks :D I wanted to use the new kitty :D lol. er no idea xD I love Pirate Paddy today. She's enjoying the pirate life isn't she?

ooh have a lovely time

Thanks, we did have fun! :D I got a wand holster for my custom wand, a criclet, and a little cape for my phoenix shoulder puppet. xD The falconer had a lot of neat birds this year. We saw a few different types of Falcons, a European Eagle Owl, a Screech Owl, a Barn Owl, two Kestrels, and a Raven. Edgar the Raven was so neat! He did a trick for us, he took a dollar donation from me and put it in a jar for a treat. <3 Smart birdie! Next time we go I will have to get pictures. Haha I see that, it's a cool plant! Ooo cool, I haven't seen those before. I just do my own designs and paintings on the stretched canvases, and then add the sparkles where I think they look nice. :D I like Paul's outfit today, and I love that background with the owls! o: What is it called?

Oh my, you drive a manual/stick shift? That must be even trickier in the snow! I drive an automatic. The main thing I learned to do is pump the brakes to stop, to prevent the car from sliding around. It can be pretty scary! Haha, I like the sword look too. The black and white look today is lovely! Paddy looks a little grumpy, though. xD I did a pirate Keet today too, in the spirit of Keelhauliday. ;) Thank you, I really like those constellation leg things! They work nicely with a lot of different tights. I like your bigfoot plush, he's really neat! I like what you have done with his face. :D

ooh sounds like some nice things :D hehe Edgar the Raven-I love it! <3 aww cute :D hehe I'm happy, just have to keep it up high :D clearly you are on trend XD aww thank you so much :D three bgs :D , then , then and on top I love the sparkly pirate Keet is :D so pretty

Yeah, it was some cool stuff. :D He was adorable! <3 He seemed to really like people, as soon as we came up to his enclosure, he came over to see us. Corvids are awesome, they are so intelligent. :D I have been trying to attract crows to our ground feeders, but no luck yet. xD I hear that if you feed crows, sometimes they bring you shiny things. laughs xD Do your animals like to knock over/eat plants too? We have to keep our succulents and cacti in pet-free rooms, haha. I guess so, here I thought I was doing something different. xD Oh well! Wow, that was some amazing background layering! o: I would never have guessed that was 3 different backdrops, they really blended seamlessly. Thanks for letting me know, I need to add some of those to my WL. xD Great layering with this new one, too! The black and golds look really nice with the blues in the background. :D Hehe thank you, Keet doesn't make a very... intimidating pirate, lol.

I'm jealous :D clearly you need ravens XD ;) they are the best lol they love to nibble :/ Well you are cos they are your work XD thanks. THe only reason I used the hay stack was cos there was gaps in the fallen leaves bg XD lol. aww thank you got the collar and had to play with it. I knew it was perfect for Sorn. lol Nope, she doesn't. Pretty but not intmidating

I've been trying to overlook any imperfections - if Mum can't spot it when she looks at the clothing from a metre away, then that needs to be 'good enough' laughs ;)

True, but I tend to spend about a fiver at the most laughs I'm always a bit wary spending more than that on a plant, as you've got no idea if it'll just keel over after a couple of weeks or not! 😊 hehe there was a petition before the movie came out, for it to be made in two parts to keep it all in there.... they said that'd be impossible, then made the last movie in two parts o.O It worked really well :D As does Sorn's look today! Is he all recovered from the WS fight? ;) hehe she's trying to make sure I use different items every day, but she wanted to use Hermione's dress as inspiration today.... I'm not convinced it works, but RP-Paddy insisted ;)

nods I've never driven an automatic laughs Over here the manual cars are more common ;) Keet looks great as a pirate - especially with those rainbow items to lift the black :D What're the shoes she's wearing? Thanks :D I really didn't want to try and applique that face rectangle onto fake fur laughs so I thought that just trimming the fur would make it easier to sew on his eyes & mouth ;) My fabric order should arrive today apparently, so I can work on my werewolf plushie as well laughs

Of course it is! No one is gonna study your clothes that close when you are wearing them. They are just gonna see a pretty dress or whatever it is you have on. :)

It was nice! Its time for a walk today. The weather is lovely today, so that is always good!
