Monday Catch Up ~ In Which I Learn That It is Ok To Be Angry.

Welcome my Loverlies to this Bootiful Moon Day !!!

Oh boy what a weekend !!! Let's just say that emotions were running rather high and hot this weekend, so much so that at one point I scared myself even !!!

I won't tell you details but lets just say that when it comes to my kids I am a bit of a mother tiger, actually if it comes to the safety of any child I know the same tendancy kicks in. So when someone decides to verbally attack someone they don't know, have never met and the prime focus to make such public allegations is to upset someone else and make them react, lets just say it isn't pretty!!!

However in getting so angry I worked my way through it. I also realised that it was ok to be angry you don't however need to take it out on those around you, those around you are there to help calm you and let you rant and get it out of your system to be completely honest. There was lots of ranting, and at the end of it I felt pretty awful cos I had taken it out a bit on others around me, not in a physical way but just by being snippy.

What disturbs me is that there are those so willing to judge others before they know the whole story. They seem to get a kick out of being bitter and nasty and watching others in serious emotional pain. That to me is psychotic!! When you are willing to go to extremes not caring who you hurt or damage in your way, you have completely lost the plot. If you can't see it then you really shouldn't be in charge of anyone ... let alone children.

It does confuse me I must say that people are so ready to judge others as well without asking direct questions to the person themselves. Surely to find out the answers you want you ask the actual person rather than talk about them behind thier back. Filling in your own blanks and coming to the conclusion that 2 + 2 = 11,562 !!!  To me this is a sign of a weak person, someone who doesn't have the kahoonas to bother talking to the actual people involved. A strong person would either tell the weak person to "shut up and what would you know" or go and talk to the person themselves.

There is nothing worse to me than Sheeple, people who will tow the line and not get involved and won't fight the corner for those doing the right thing and are willing to believe anything rather than find out for themselves!!! Society and media has conditioned people into thinking that it's ok to gossip and spread rumours and talk about things behind others back. Even our schools are set up to teach our kids not to ask questions. I was always in trouble for putting my hand up in class to ask questions and was always told the same thing, "don't disrupt the class" ........ O.o ......

Well I don't apologise for not being a Sheeple ... I still Think for myself and do what is right and will quite vocally stand up when something is wrong !!! Thinking is not illegal ... remember that ... and although governments around the world are desperatly trying to make it illegal, standing up for what you believe in to be right when it is blatently obvious something is wrong is not either!!!

When it comes to kids especially those I know, they are then under the umbrella of My Kids, and I protect them and stand up for them and get very angry when they are used as weapons by those who know nothingbut thier own weakness of character. You might not like what is happening around you but children are NOT weapons in anyway shape or form. NO~ONE has the right to use them as such and if you do you are not a person as far as I am concerned because you have no heart, intelligence or strength of your own. In fact I pity the shell of you because that is all you are if you behave in such ways.

On a much happier and lighter note, for the first time in a year our cupboards and freezer are 3/4's full YAY!!!! I am soooo pleased this makes this Pixie much happier and feeling alot safer in our situation. Our spare room only needs pillows and things are looking up every single day !!

Oo ooooo and as grey as it looked out there this morning it is now bootiful and sunny and the birds are chirping and singing ... and I am off to collect primroses with my Bootiful Cousin YAY!!!!!

Have a fabbytastic Moon Day and remember don't be a Sheeple !!!!

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 !!!

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
