Hellooooo Again!!! Monday Catch~Up

Hello Loverlies

Sorry I have been away for a little while but soooo much has happened and it jsut keeps happening and keeping me very busy between then and now. However I find myself with a bit of free time on my hands so I doing a mahoosive Monday Catch Up for you all !!!

Soooo last time we chatted I was off to the Acoustic Festival of Great Britain... which by the way was AWESOMES!!!! It also taught me a great deal of what to make sure we have and are doing for our events. Just remembering that everything is a learning experience helps you get through the worst of nightmare situations and trust me there were some close situations at the festival this year.

However there were some awesome ones as well ... meeting up with old friends and meeting new ones. All a great thing and a great time was had by all. Hiccups over and done with, and end of the Sunday being beer o'clock makes everything much better hahaha.

So here are a couple of pics of us at the Acoustic Festival :~

Me and Tink

Me and Lisa Fairy

I love these ladies they make life sooo wonderful and to find them both at the one festival does make things awesomes !!!

I work with Lisa at faery festivals during the year but Tink I only have the honour of meeting up with at the Acoustic so its loverly to catch up with her :D

So after a fabbytastic weekend of booking in bands and taking care of them i was knackered for the rest of the week .. not surprising really but I had lots of stuff to do for the Edge of the Moors Faery Festival

Not to mention the fabby few days that the Pendle Faery and Pendle Pixie came to visit us here at Pixie Towers YAY!!!! oh boy did we gets up to some stuffs ... and yes there are pics hahaha!!!

We had masses of fun making decs with the kids at the school for the festival .... pics will come later ... great imaginations making Faery Bells and Faery Houses and Peg Dolly Faeries been fabby this week. 

The only issue we've had this week is that my back has done silly things to itself, so at the moment I'm running around on crutches. Which is a great way to make me slow down. Which I am .. and behaving as well ... well kinda ... sorta .. maybe .. perhaps hahahah!!!! 

So there we go a complete catch up of the last few weeks ... will get onto this weeks Blogs asap !!!! xox 

Have a fabbytastic day

Love and Light xox

Ode to the Week ~ In which I bid a fond farewell to the week that has been and leave it where it where it belongs.

Welcome to Freya's Day Me Loverlies!!! WE MADE IT!!! Give yourself a big round of applause and pats on the back and a big bar of choccy to celebrate !!!

If your week has been anything like mine get yourself a loverly glass of something yummy too cos you deserve it!!! For me it's a bucket of coffee cos its that or cordial cos that's all we have. It doesn't matter what it is as long as you have it and it is well known in your environment this is your time!!!

Long story short and no details given but this week has been very very emotionally driven and to be completely honest with you I am exhausted, completely and utterly mental and emotionally drained from it all. In fact to the point where Himself sat me down and told me to snap out of it cos I was not being nice and was in a not fun place at the time. Which I did and hear I am today, 1 more costume further than I was yesterday and with dinner in the oven and lots of excitement all day, like visits from my favourite reptile rescue couple. It was awesomes!!! and yes they will be coming to the Edge of The Moors Faery Festival and bringing some of thier loverly rescued loverlies with them!!! sooo can't wait!!!!

I have a loverly costume job I am doing right now for a loverly young lady in our town who ice skates. You'd probabgly think there are heaps of people making these outfits but apparently not and not only that the ones they get are imported and fall apart which is pretty awful considering the prices they charge BEFORE postage. So it looks like I could be about to get very busy WOOHOO!!! but we shall see. I don't believe in over charging because you can. Kids love to dance and should have the opportunity to do so in whatever form they wish to without thier parents having to sell a kidney in the process. I simply don't have time for dressmakers who rip off thier customers with an attitude of "oh well". I am happy to design and make anything for anyone and always have been because I don't see the point in charging £200 for a leotard with a skirt on it when it takes me less than half a day to run it up. To me that's appauling and such a rip off especially when overlockers are used on stretch fabrics and not rolled hemming. I don't even own an over locker and to be honest I don't need or want one.


All that said however this week I have realised how truly blessed I am, and have learnt a little about myself as well. I don't suffer fools gladly. Well that wasn't news. and what annoys me more is those who have everything yet bitch because it isn't enough. Now I'm sorry but Himself and I right now live on around £85 a week, not because we are tight because that is all we have. End of story. See what you have that doesn't cost money and you will realise exactly how rich you truly are!!! Your outlook on life changes as well to be honest and well speaking for myself it is a much better place to be and much better than Beer Goggles !!!!

To cheer me up this week Himself did something rather special. I don't care if you think I am a loony but I have a couple of little Fae friends that keep me company and hang out and have chosen to stay with me for whatever reason. Let me show you what Himself did for me with the help of Button one of my insanely fabby little pixie friends.

Himself is amazing at finding our Fae friends and helping you to see exactly what they look like!!! This one he did with Button telling him the whole time what to do and what he wanted. I have to admit this almost brought me to tears. It didn't cost him anything just time and he did it to make me smile and THAT My Loverlies is what love is!!!

Anywhoo tis Friday evening and I have lots of taped shows to catch up on and bowl of popcorn awaiting me attention !!!


Have a fabbytastic weekend!!!

Cookie's Corner ~ Here come the Fae !!!

Hey Loverlies!!! Welcome to Woden's Day

Well the Edge of the Moors Faery Festival is only a couple of months away and we have decided to do most of the concessions ourselves. One of the things we have found we need to make and need lots of are fairy cakes. In fact we are having to make 300 of them to make sure we have enough to go around. What we also have to think about is those who are wheat and dairy free, so this evening I have decided to pop up the recipe we are going to use for the wheat and dairy free version.

This is a recipe that has been tried and tested on kids. You know the type of kids that will moan the first time they see something not quite right. To be honest I made 2 dozen and they evaporated out of the tin!!! Quickly enough that we couldn't grab the camera in time to get a pic so I will add one in when I make some ont he weekend.  So kids love then and to be honest that is the best way to know that a recipe will work!!!

So here we go :~

Wheat and Dairy Free Fairy Cakes

250g Soy Spread
250g Caster Sugar
1 tspn Vanilla Extract
250g Spelt Flour
4 Tbspns Soy Milk
3 tspns Baking Powder

~ Cream the Soy Spread and Sugar together until light and fluffy, add the vanilla and mix in.
~ Mix in the Flour and Baking Powder and add as much Soy Milk as you need to make a medium batter.
~Divide the mix between 24 muffin tins.
 ~Bake at  200°C Electric oven, Electric fan oven 180°C, Gas Mark 6 for 10 - 20 minutes until cooked and golden on top.

Don't overcook the fairy cakes otherwise they will dry out.

Cool on a wire rack

Top them anyway you feel fit to do so. Frosting or glaze and loads of different glittery toppings. Have fun with them and get the kids to join it!!

~~~~~~

 So there you go a loverly healthy recipe for the nommies that we Fae all love !!!

Ode To The Week ~ In which I survive my first week blogging YAY!!!

WOW!!! Look where we are Freya's Day!!

I MADE IT THROUGH MY FIRST WEEK BLOGGING!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

I am very exctied about this. I have to say that this Blog has done amazing things for me!!! I wake up in the morning thinking what am I going to do today for my Blog and I really have to think. It has given me a focus which is so very important, and it means that I now have a forum for ALL areas of my life in one place. Considering the way my mind works and with everything I want to achieve this has made complete sense of all of it and helped me to calm my brain somewhat.

I also want to thank everyone for thier support in this project of ramblings of mine. I found the stats bit and have watched the numbers climb and climb everyday and have sat here in amazement. I have seen friends post it on Twitter and Facebook and have been utterly amazed at them doing so. As for the beautiful comments left both on my Facebook page and in my inbox have given me the most tremendous boost. Considering this Blog is only 5 days old now I now have had 223 views in that time and I find that extraordinary and very very humbling. I just want to take this moment to say thankyou to each and every one of you YOU ROCK!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxooxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxox

So enough of the mushy stuff here we go with my Ode to the Week :~

Pixie Towers is our home, it is where we live and we love it. It is a 5 room flat 2 bedrooms, a living room, a loverly kitchen (Which is where I have been writing this most of the week) and of course the bathroom. Most of the time our loverly home is a tranquil setting and people come up just to chill out, which I love. However this week it has been turned on it's head with moving the place around a bit. we have moved into the workroom as we have been making space for a couple of extra beds.

I so can't wait to have my own workshop space, I think we are starting to get to the point where we actually need it !!! Mind you for a lazy bum Pixie like me not having to get out of bed to get some work done isn't the worst thing in the world teeheehee. It is awesomes for me cos it means I can work at all hours without feeling bad about it cos I am still in my nest .... technimacally anyways hehehe.

Just so you get a little idea of our workspace/bedroom is like now take a peek at this :~

Oh yesh and this was my treasure trove I found whilst sorting out the room, I went from "I has no fabrics boohoo " To this :~

Yeap that there is all my fabrics that I founded !!!  That haven't got a home yet ... and aren't for already on the go projects and jobs !!!

It's good though cos I have been eyeing it up thinking "hmmm not enough blooo I needs more bloooo" teeheehee :D

So yes it has been all fun and games round here but the job is almost done!!!

We were lucky enough to meet a loverly couple yesterday Jean and Martin who will be playing for us at the Edge of The Moors Faery Festival in July they are loverly loverly peoples and soooo talented, I tell you what you ever want to have the best experience of people in the world start organising events like this cos it truly is an eye opener !!! Amazingly talented people from all over the country and wonderful giving and generous of thier time and effort and everything else, it truly is a wonderful experience for me, and I hope it will be for everyone else as well. If anyone is reading this and wants tickets to the Ball please check out our website we would LOVE to see you at the festival :~

Bloo Pixie Events ~ Edge of The Moors Faery Festival

We have almost sold out of stalls too now and it's just amazing I can't wait to see everyone set up it will AWESOMES!!! Now all I have to do is find a couple of water sprites or mermaids and we is all set !!!

Himself has been utterly awesomes this week as always helping me out in all my crazy plans and supporting each and every one of them. I did tell him that it was jsut as well cos it was in the job description when he signed up teeheehee :D

I have to admit though he does put up with rather alot from me, both with calming my Agoraphobia and putting up with Pixie Tantrums and helping me stand back up when i bend down too far !!!  He truly is awesomes and a real blessing xox

Oh GOOD Grief!!!! all mushy again ugh really !!! I tell you what he truly has turned me into a right Girl!!!

Am very excited also cos Fallen Angel Studios might just be going to ArmadaCon in Plymouth and running workshops ... am very excitementated!!! More about that as and when it happens :D

Well I think that jsut about rounds up the week... I won't know what to do with myself tomorrow since this is a Monday to Friday thing for me... oh yeah get some work done HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ooooo actually if I do that then maaaybe that will cover my Stitch and Bitch next week .... well me thinkies that is quite the idea ...

Well I'm off til Moon Day

Monday Catch Up ~ In which things are falling into place :~D

Happy Dragon's Day!!!! Yes it is St. George's Day but to be honest I am on the side of the dragon!!!

So today being a Monday many tend to look upon a Monday and think "OH NO!!!"

To me Monday is the start of something, A beginning of a week that even if I have plans I still don't always know what is going to occur and all sorts of surprises could be in store for me.

This week has started very early at 6am whilst Himself (my wonderful partner) and me toddled off to some meetings, at the end of which we now have to find a couple of bunk beds or single beds, which is quite awesome really!!! So this week will be moving all sorts of furniture about and sorting out the workshop. Always have to love cleaning up the workspace O.o NOT!!!! but then again you never know what you might find that you've been looking for forever and it suddenly turns up.

Well at least it will keep us busy and out of mischief, mind you with organising The Edge of The Moors Faery Festival and running Fallen Angel Studios, Share The Love and Bloo Pixie Events and even thinking about writing my next cookbook or series of cookbooks by the thoughts we have been having about it not sure I can fit much more in this week. But then again, if I wasn't busy I would think something was seriously wrong. Mind you I have been seriously thinking about selling homemade cleaning products, you know the proper ones, that aren't going to hurt your hands or your kids, pets or the environment. The ones our grannies used to use before washing up liquid went all bubbly and green and weird. Anyway it's just a thought .... you'll get used to me I'm always having these thoughts!!!

Anywhoooo Fallen Angel Studios had a massive boost today, a month ago I applied for an Enterprise Nation Fund 101 placement and I was informed today that when voting starts again in May we are on the list YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!! So will be pushing hard to get my 500 votes lol ...  cos I need my drivers license so I can get us a van and we can take the fae to the outside world !!! More about that closer to time.

The Edge of The Moors Faery Festival now has all its bands booked for the ball which is AWESOMES!!! WE are soooo lucky we have Matthew Callow, Serpentyne and Jaime Black, we seriously couldn't ask for anyone more awesome for a first event and we are soooo excited about it all !!! Don't worry I will post pics as soon as we have some.

So all things are falling into place already ... and it's only Monday. Keeping up this momentum and I'll take over the world by 2013 !!! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Right now, I'm off to find a blankey cos I am freezing ...

Just remember Monday is full of potential and however you treat Monday is how the rest of your week will turn out. Keep up the positive momentum up it's amazing how the week will fly all by itself.
