Text of the page (random words):
something to do with it being star wars day i didn t think to ask the shortfuzz boys are a bit elusive but friendly just the same it took a little bit of conversation before i was able to understand them while these particular gnomes do speak english their dialect has quite a funny accent that takes some getting used to glimthink is definitely the more shy of the two and whenever i go out to visit with them he s always in the house he seems to be the one that does more of the household chores taking out the trash preparing the meals that sort of thing i hear he makes a mean vegetable stew although i m not too big on veggies myself i ve promised him that i will try some in the future i m thinking he s also quite skilled in alchemy as he often has a mortar and pestle in his hand pacing back and forth and muttering to himself in words i can t understand while grinding up whatever concoction he s working on the shortfuzz twins live in this mushroom house it appears to be pretty cozy from my vantage point it looks as if it s only one room but i have a hunch there may be more than meets the eye kind of like mary poppins suitcase or a genie s bottle he can sometimes go all the way out of sight in there and emerge with all sorts of household junk that i can t see when just peering in the door i hope to be able to investigate this further in the future this is his brother fimfizz fimfizz shortfuzz of the clan of the highfolk to be exact he was quite emphatic about the title he is more boisterous than glimthink and has much more to say he has explained that their home was in a region known as silverwood hills and he s still trying to work out how exactly they were transported to texas at least i think that s what he said his accent is a bit thicker than his brother s he also gets distracted easily going off on different tangents which can make it a bit hard to follow his job is to work the land so he can often be found out amongst the foliage he is quite proud of his green thumb and promises that soon the landscape will be transformed by tiny iridescent flowers growing all along the hillside he s also an avid birdwatcher and has put up several birdhouses around his home i think he told me that this was a tinyfinch house or was this one the peaswallow house i can t remember he did say that tinyfinch s are attracted to shiny things so he s put up several mirrors around the garden in hopes of luring more near although i caught him glancing in the mirror himself quite a few times so that may not be the only reason they are there are gnomes a vain folk peaswallows are apparently the larger of the 2 species with magnificent plumage and a beautiful song so i m hoping to be able to see one he said to keep my eye out once the creeping jenny turns gold that s usually when they are migrating by but the texas peaswallows might keep a different schedule fimfizz also has quite a whimsical spirit he showed me this special project of his he called it a fairy garden he told me that he is just fascinated by stories of fairies and he s hoping that this garden will attract some since he s never actually seen a fairy he s not sure if this house would work but he s heard they are quite small so he figures it will do it s still a work in progress but he planted a tiny mushroom because who doesn t like mushrooms he figures if they don t take to the heart house they could make a home out of the mushroom like he and glimthink did and then he also put a purple butterfly in the garden it s not a real butterfly of course but he read somewhere that fairies like to paint butterfly wings he thought this would be great fun for them spending hours around their butterfly model practicing new techniques and color combinations he seemed quite proud of himself over the whole idea actually and then of course you can also see beauregard s house in this picture beauregard or bo as they call him is their pet toad i haven t actually seen bo yet but i m sure he s around somewhere i m hoping glimthink warms up to me as we get to know each other better maybe i can catch a picture of him someday when he s out of the house he just stays at the door and peers at me with quite a curious look in his eye i m assuming his eyes look curious since i can t actually see his eyes i need to remember to ask about that what is with the hat over the eyes all the time he seems to be as fascinated with me as i am with him anyway that s all i ve been able to learn about them so far they both seem to be quite busy always moving about they seem happy to stop and chat but after too long i can tell they want to get back to whatever it was they were doing they are fascinating little creatures and i hope they stay around for a while they ve brought quite a bit of joy to our family in the short time they ve been with us ps did you get the title reference gnome ception a gnome garden within a gnome garden like inception the movie get it moving on disclaimer i know some people are serious about their gnome lore i have not done adequate research to assure that anything contained in the above story correlates with any of it please do not email me that there could not possibly be a gnome named glimthink shortfuzz from the clan of highfolk that lived in the silverwood hills because the shortfuzz family obviously lived in perrenland duh or that fimfizz never had a twin or that they aren t star wars fans this is my story and my gnomes all characters appearing in this work are fictious except that they really do live in my garden any resemblance to real gnomes living or dead is purely coincidental disclaimer 2 the title the adventures of glimthink and fimfizz an intro seems to imply that there may be the adventures of glimthink and fimfizz something else like there may be another episode right while this would be fun it may in fact prove to be too ambitious i make no claims as to the future of my shortfuzz twins you ll just have to stay tuned note did you like my gnome garden it s actually entered in the fairy garden 2014 contest over at the magic onions check it out to see more cutie patootie tiny garden worlds and get inspired to make your own posted in gnomes tagged alchemy butterfly contest fairy folklore garden gnome inception mushroom story twins 4 comments and one makes two april 19 2014 by summersadie quick housekeeping it apeeeears as though i missed out on some comments that were left for me on the last 2 posts granted the second to the last post was over a year ago but i have a bunch of comments on there i never saw so i apologize for ignoring you i didn t know okay so not to leave out benjamin on my quest to make ever lasting easter baskets my hubby eyed this wooden boat at an antique mall and on home it came with us i think this is the before picture i was tempted to leave it in it s distressed glory but i saw a picture of a real painted boat that i loved so i used that for inspiration plus once i sanded it most of the white paint came off anyway so it got sanded painted and i found a wooden anchor at joann s that i painted and glued on as well then for a little personalization i painted his name on the back i won t tell you how many times i sanded it off and repainted it and guess what it looked exactly the same every time i painted it back at least it s spelled right and now it s all ready for tomorrow morning he s only 4 months old so he won t have any appreciation for it but he will someday right right posted in uncategorized tagged basket boat boy easter toddler wood wooden 3 comments basket busyness march 28 2014 by summersadie so easter is right around the corner can you believe it in some ways this year has gone incredibly fast and in some ways it seems like january 1 was a lifetime ago it s also been a whole year since i last posted a whole year crazy it s definitely been an eventful year for me eventful last 4 months really we moved cross country and i had another baby but those are all stories for another time so back to the point easter is right around the corner i ve been wanting to make an easter basket for my daughter last year when she was one i broke down and just bought a little wire one to make do i have scoured and scoured the internet and pinterest but couldn t come up with anything i loved anything that seemed to fit i was wanting to make a basket that she could use every year not for egg hunting but to wake up to easter morning filled with goodies i wanted to make a basket for her that would be a memory i remember when i was little i had an easter basket that had a stuffed bunny head on it a little gruesome when you write it out actually but it was cute i still have that basket i don t actually remember ever using it but i ve seen it in pictures when i was little so i know it was loved so that s what i wanted for avery except i want her to remember it i have these images of her waking up every easter morning to the same basket filled with goodies all the way until she leaves for college then when she s gone i ll cry over her basket every easter morning sad that she s away then when she gets older she ll appreciate the nostalgia of that basket and want to use it for her own daughter okay so maybe i get a little carried away she ll probably not even notice the basket just grab the stuff and it ll get tossed aside then in a few years we probably won t even do easter baskets anymore she won t remember it and it ll get left in the attic somewhere but i can dream right so as you can see i put a lot of pressure on myself for this easter basket for a lifetime ha i don t know why i do this to myself anyway now that i have baby boy i ve got to do this times 2 i wasn t worried about it being a traditional basket so much just wanted to find something cool and unique so i set off for the antique store this is what i came up with for avery it was an old metal flower basket a little worse for wear not sure what it looked like originally but it had been painted a green color and it was terribly rusted but it had potential pretty shape and it was big enough to hold goodies but not so big it would be hard to fill i started by sanding all the loose rust i could then primed it with a spray paint rustoleum primer after it was primed it already looked much better avery s favorite color is currently purple and she picked out the color she wanted her basket to be i had some pretty blue leftover from a different project so i sprayed the inside blue for a little contrast at this point all that was left was to give it a little personalization so i made a bunting banner with her name but of course it had to be a double sided banner why because i like to complicate things and because then i can be less decisive if i can t decide between 2 different banner fabrics why not do them both right so after all is said and done this is what i came up with all ready for easter morning i m pleased with how it turned out it may not last until my children s children s children but maybe the next couple of years so now it s on to benjamin s posted in uncategorized tagged basket diy easter

back when i was invited to join a quilt swap of civil war reproduction 9 patches entitled a quilt for melanie wilkes i jumped in on it without hesitation and i love the quilt i ended up with it s huge about king size and it s got such a great assortment of fabrics so many more than i could collect on my own i sent it to randi allen in tx to quilt it and she did a great job with it an all over swirly star pattern perfect for the patriotic theme of the fabric anyway i m so pleased with this quilt it s really a workhorse quilt i often have a hard time using quilts that i ve made because i m so afraid they re going to get torn up or stained and after all the time and money that went into them i want them to stay nice but this quilt is different it s quite pretty to look at it but understated it s not flashy or showy but the beauty is in the details when you notice the quilting or pick up on a really unique print in it it s been used quite a bit it s super warm in the winter and huge so the perfect quilt to huddle under with my family to spend time together watching a movie it s the perfect quilt to haul to my husband s ball games it s big enough that all my girlfriends and their kids can sit on it and chitchat and it s such a great blend of colors no one would ever notice if something got spilled on it or stained it really encourages fellowship and friendship it s very soft and a perfect amount of worn in feeling and i think that s what melly would have wanted several years ago there was a line of gone with the wind fabric that came out and i snatched up a bunch of it i didn t get around to actually making a quilt top out of it until a couple of weeks ago i used this great pattern by violet craft that i modified just a bit to accomodate some of my larger prints in contrast i call this my quilt for scarlett o hara different from my melanie quilt this quilt will not see a lot of hard work this one prefers to just be admired and look pretty i think i m going to have it custom quilted it needs that special touch i want the quilting to be showy dramatic definitely something to be noticed this quilt will just be draped around the house somewhere a life of luxury and i think that s what scarlett would have wanted so ps i need a long arm quilter someone preferably who loves gone with the wind so they can help me capture the essence of scarlett in the quilting i m thinking perhaps some of her phrases in the sashing know anyone send them my way posted in finished quilts quilting tagged chevrons civil war gone with the wind melanie

about getting every item marked off that list i get great pleasure from lining through all the things i ve done and i get great stress from leaving things undone on the list lately the latter is where my blogging has been falling i ve been just awful at blogging lately even though it s always on my list of things to get done i used to love blogging it used to be easier now it s just become stressful because it s this thing i know i should get done but i just never get to it i think one reason i haven t been blogging is because the blog is having an identity crisis when it started it was a quilting blog it fit in that nice little box but in the last year or so i have done very little quilting like maybe one quilt in the last year so i really have nothing quilty to talk about now i have baby on the brain all the time i could maybe write lots about my baby but one that would be very boring to everyone else and two it see...
