Monday Catch Up ~ In Which I Get Righteously Angry and Find out One of My Friends is Teeny Tiny

Hippy Moon Day Loverlies!!!

This weekend has been quite a busy one here in Pixie Towers and to be honest I'm glad it's Monday again. I have been busy organising all sorts of things, from faery festivals to halloween parties, weddings dresses, bridesmaid dresses, Steampunk costumes and Bellydancer outfits. In between visits from the Faery Princesses and my Bootiful Cousin and her trixie pixies. I think I need another weekend to get over this one hahaha!!!

All is well though and after turning Pixie Towers on it's ear late last week we are now safely and comfortably ensconsed in our new room and the other one has been made beautiful and ready for any Princesses who are likely to turn up and stay at any time.

I have to admit though I have been in a bit of a angry pixie mode for the last couple of days. To me there is nothing worse you can do as a parent as to force your children to lie to cover up your deceptions and actions. It puts children in a terrible position and forces them to do something that they know is wrong and they know they shouldn't do. It also makes them terrified of consequences they may incur due to someone finding out they were lying or keeping information away from them, or the consquences of the parent who told them to keep the secret in the first place. Most frightening of all it can condition children into not saying something when they really need to, for example if something has happened that they NEED to share for thier own safety or if something has been done to them and they have been told "it's our little secret".

There is not alot that makes this pixie mad but grooming children is one of them, in fact ANYTHING that causes a child harm or hurt in anyway really does ruffle my feathers!!!

Well ok enough ranting now, I have had my say and that's that !!!

Onto more fun things, for the last few weeks I have been working on a very special order of bellydancing costumes, and I have to admit I have been a tad worried about messing them up. However today I made alot of headway. Although I did have somewhat of a surprise when I found out how teeny the lady in question was. I had made the patterns a few weeks ago but decided to remake and design 2 of the costumes and today I have been working very hard on them. Not being such a teeny person myself and having quite alot of extra "padding" I definately found myself resizing and relooking at the measurements again. I did do this several times I have to admit and even went so far as to take a peek at my friends pics to make sure that what I was looking at was correct.

It is funny how we see ourselves and others in the world and forget the very large differences between us. My friends waist is the size of one of my thighs and I have to admit I found myself wondering whether this worried because she is so teeny or because I am so padded. I have never really seen myself as an "obese" person, and to be honest I am quite comfortable in my skin. However this did make me wonder and I have to say there will probably be more on this sometime later on.

For now though I am going to sign off and get on the rest of my day, my Bootiful cousin has turned up with the trixie pixies to show off her wedding dress so I am about to be very busy.

Have a fantabulous rest of your day
