We had a lovely morning adventure walk this week at Tryon Creek State Park. I love that place. It was a sunny day, but quite misty, cold, and mysterious in the forest. The girls were on the look out for fairies and possibly talking wolfs. They are heavy into fairy tales right now. I told Sadie the real version of The Little Mermaid recently, which she prefers to the happy one, of course. Tragedy is way more exciting. We are however, editing out the beheading of the suitors in the 12 Dancing Princesses. Pete thinks that punishment is unnecessarily harsh. I figure, if a bunch of dudes are trying to find out where these 12 dancing princesses are going off to at night, being beheaded if they failed would be a huge motivator. He says it would severely reduce the amount of suitors taking up the challenge.
Some things making me happy and/or excited:
-Wee Wonderful's newest Stitchette is available. Quilting Bee?! Gads, they are cute!
-This fabulous object by decoylab has made me $28 poorer in the best way (Thanks sarah, you are a terrible influence.)
-The Small Object has clothespin doll kits!! Good lord! With the face already printed on, no more swearing at the horrible wood grain/bleeding pen disaster.
-Who could have dreamed I'd have reason to bring up the Shatner again this month? I just read about this
-I was thinking about the garden and instead of working in the yard and starting some much needed clean-up, I sat on my hiney in front of the computer and found this great gardening site, Heavy Petal, instead.
