I've had it set up before ...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIH_mx0RwzYFJzJuVcsfJpAwToqF-kvcQq7ZlRtL7yExD5Zjuq5wuNz8MZI4M8UXZnuVQcpNRl1pH0M8DUW0swJfX5t4WCMvThwnATuN2dd5yBs56k4RZEhfzR-7CAULLwsf7Fr70aoF5/s1600/WendysDeskIsMyOffice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIH_mx0RwzYFJzJuVcsfJpAwToqF-kvcQq7ZlRtL7yExD5Zjuq5wuNz8MZI4M8UXZnuVQcpNRl1pH0M8DUW0swJfX5t4WCMvThwnATuN2dd5yBs56k4RZEhfzR-7CAULLwsf7Fr70aoF5/s400/WendysDeskIsMyOffice.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />It makes it more convenient for us to discuss important, Wylde Kingdom business.<br /><br />It also lets me keep an eye on her and make sure she's not bringing home more dolls from the internet.<br /><br />So, I went to <a href="http://www.normsdollhouse.com/" target="_blank">Norm's Dollhouse</a> to look for a desk.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6lyi8WgmTm5utHtnE7gGYlNCHi8jGcIvn1QbtgiS9FS3tl1Em2OJ-_Wrq54HM78fbSkvaxQ4Y7ewVCRvsrIqFphVPpobMH01VQqbWTQbuIk6IJGjYq1zvVa-zcvhXtT4tWLIhz3I9xWV/s1600/Workspace001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6lyi8WgmTm5utHtnE7gGYlNCHi8jGcIvn1QbtgiS9FS3tl1Em2OJ-_Wrq54HM78fbSkvaxQ4Y7ewVCRvsrIqFphVPpobMH01VQqbWTQbuIk6IJGjYq1zvVa-zcvhXtT4tWLIhz3I9xWV/s400/Workspace001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I thought this one was quite nice.

I've met some really nice pixie dolls there, and found a neat crafty group.<br /><br />But I have people who I really care about who don't DO Facebook (and I don't blame them. It doesn't work out as nice for everyone as it has for me)<br /><br />So, every Thursday I'm going to post here what I've been posting on Facebook, so you guys don't have to Facebook if you don't wanna.<br /><br />So, here goes:<br />**********************<br /><br /><h4><u>Stuff I Did on Facebook #1</u></h4><br />I got Peanutized! To promote the Peanuts Movie coming out November 6th, this website will show you what you look like as a Peanuts character - <a href="http://www.peanutizeme.com/" target="_blank">Peanutize Me!</a><br /><br />This is what _I_ look like as one of the Peanuts (also, hanging with Snoopy makes me extra cool.)<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Y583GZBqltullh7dID8SsIPgKWCFLTZHTXOfw1MQcmNeczuXeIBvUx8ZZSYBYI7PoL2pxXtbUfFcCVXbD2eIiBWVzpY6kzyScfstWsVE1SFJCeJJzli9253HurqFj0iSTYee8OX8_8pA/s1600/PeanutsMiri.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Y583GZBqltullh7dID8SsIPgKWCFLTZHTXOfw1MQcmNeczuXeIBvUx8ZZSYBYI7PoL2pxXtbUfFcCVXbD2eIiBWVzpY6kzyScfstWsVE1SFJCeJJzli9253HurqFj0iSTYee8OX8_8pA/s400/PeanutsMiri.jpg" width="400" /> </a> </div><br /><br />I also helped my friend, Devika, make cookies.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6xLXRs4G80ajEtq7zlN0R510rz8iidhiSE30Vr4MNxowJaZqgd5PaDHLQKbeSf1Tpd5kMhTAl1OLoKlCTsZqxf2DLxH512JqmkTFAX45iaBlhCFyGjbeRAPFeQESEzaH81aRmIcZef1O/s1600/BlackCatCookies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6xLXRs4G80ajEtq7zlN0R510rz8iidhiSE30Vr4MNxowJaZqgd5PaDHLQKbeSf1Tpd5kMhTAl1OLoKlCTsZqxf2DLxH512JqmkTFAX45iaBlhCFyGjbeRAPFeQESEzaH81aRmIcZef1O/s400/BlackCatCookies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Mmm... delicious bats & cats!

The good news is, if you fall into the cookie dough while you're trying to mix it with a spoon five times your height, you can always eat your way out. :) <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnUU0cEH-m8GcUJChtjmV_n88mdZ9OF-za98HpN5dImf3FjC5fGal0XQQ8qfqL-ml8JM6seZMvK9_el41tJxRfnBjqZnQvWrOaszaNKpupOK8QJSNayx1vKAhm8y_KfLHLsoqpipnaGOV/s1600/CookieMaking002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnUU0cEH-m8GcUJChtjmV_n88mdZ9OF-za98HpN5dImf3FjC5fGal0XQQ8qfqL-ml8JM6seZMvK9_el41tJxRfnBjqZnQvWrOaszaNKpupOK8QJSNayx1vKAhm8y_KfLHLsoqpipnaGOV/s400/CookieMaking002.jpg" width="285" /></a></div> I discovered that candy eyeballs are my new favorite thing.

But since you read the blog, you already know how that turned out - (<a href="http://mirandawandering.blogspot.com/2015/09/another-house-in-wylde-kingdom.html" target="_blank">Another House in the Wylde Kingdom</a>)<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBxLiMM2tddzSRN4jf36ALcHqHhG3cBj4RGUWH1KweMp7oxW1Yy1DASikY_d_BVfsDEBKuWTJ8g6-VDR9tzRQTXjmKx0CzBZT7grrBHheDoEH0VCpb0kI2iYE5P5_allIossxmop4Iq2Z/s1600/MagesticMoon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBxLiMM2tddzSRN4jf36ALcHqHhG3cBj4RGUWH1KweMp7oxW1Yy1DASikY_d_BVfsDEBKuWTJ8g6-VDR9tzRQTXjmKx0CzBZT7grrBHheDoEH0VCpb0kI2iYE5P5_allIossxmop4Iq2Z/s400/MagesticMoon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I didn't actually get to SEE the "Blood Moon", but lucky for me a friend of mine had a friend in Florida who snapped this unbelievable picture of it! I'm so sad I missed it! So majestic and VERY super!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX838WQIFpbEcbm1uc6awVyYYOIvNEzS-I0feXCeDFuFkC3OaNNnBw20LdtpWRSD3fypbYDkO7c_FUlBHMB_SNY2onOpZjeV3PFTQv1dqV4Mq50n1EP3kd900IGQwmhfEqHgrvkSNaeWe/s1600/BingeWalkingDead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX838WQIFpbEcbm1uc6awVyYYOIvNEzS-I0feXCeDFuFkC3OaNNnBw20LdtpWRSD3fypbYDkO7c_FUlBHMB_SNY2onOpZjeV3PFTQv1dqV4Mq50n1EP3kd900IGQwmhfEqHgrvkSNaeWe/s400/BingeWalkingDead.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>So, since Eris & Sebastian snagged my house, and the Pepperwood Farm is now mine, I kind of moved into it. It's not even STARTED, much less close to finished. But it's still kind of nice to sleep in your own (even unfinished) house. I swiped Wendy's cell phone (which makes a GREAT big screen TV for pixies) and binge watched Season 5 of the Walking Dead until the batteries died.<br /><br />Honestly, if she didn't WANT me to use her phone, and credit cards, why would she just leave them laying around? She always gets so mad. Just silly, if you ask me.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKQrbB62RqrAU2WU6_0Ir2CD4YYoNTtzrN2ymLlrGjSAIXpYk-iaFJS0AKSTJyv2NpIRHnrAmU23qWBDdyuMdh91HW62iXDFIIjMDEdYri0fAMiJBpQQvHLPKzsA1BezoQD_1tCo-x5i0/s1600/BlueWhiteAfghan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKQrbB62RqrAU2WU6_0Ir2CD4YYoNTtzrN2ymLlrGjSAIXpYk-iaFJS0AKSTJyv2NpIRHnrAmU23qWBDdyuMdh91HW62iXDFIIjMDEdYri0fAMiJBpQQvHLPKzsA1BezoQD_1tCo-x5i0/s320/BlueWhiteAfghan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Oh! And the blue and white afghan on the bed up there? I made that! Pretty, huh? I was thinking about selling it, but I really like it so I'm just going to keep it.<br /><br />Never trust a crocheter who doesn't like their own stuff. Just sayin'.<br /> <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDC_lkX-wBTv1ReOLI_384qWRJjCdvfF_9NgnAhd1imxdqVU3aZWvbL32o_GBJZHHyS2_X3Nagm6dmCTqhqktzhloPVT4HM2lQParIVqBGNVz6Ph3Hvljdq73DkwHKMPe7eMEoO8_X4DyA/s1600/GrayAfghan001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDC_lkX-wBTv1ReOLI_384qWRJjCdvfF_9NgnAhd1imxdqVU3aZWvbL32o_GBJZHHyS2_X3Nagm6dmCTqhqktzhloPVT4HM2lQParIVqBGNVz6Ph3Hvljdq73DkwHKMPe7eMEoO8_X4DyA/s320/GrayAfghan001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is an afghan I am working on for a friend. It's coming along pretty nicely, I think.<br /><br />So I joined this crafty group that already had a couple of pixies in it, and it set me off on this big crochet kick.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrr2LO-WlWY47UtHCzlFiRdxSJsoO3kdwNlV7CIO3Y7VmfFUTQSuXaYnf-JcI9CeeTVOLBBhQs58EK-6ZGbYDATy8sCqugCr9ZLzXlfiChjpp97JYzqcMsMQQhqtRhS3sx-mTN63F_sKhr/s1600/ToddlerDress001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrr2LO-WlWY47UtHCzlFiRdxSJsoO3kdwNlV7CIO3Y7VmfFUTQSuXaYnf-JcI9CeeTVOLBBhQs58EK-6ZGbYDATy8sCqugCr9ZLzXlfiChjpp97JYzqcMsMQQhqtRhS3sx-mTN63F_sKhr/s400/ToddlerDress001.jpg" width="371" /></a></div>So I made myself this top! Cute, huh? I made it from this free pattern, here - <a href="https://lovelystrife.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/toddler-dress-pattern/">https://lovelystrife.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/toddler-dress-pattern/</a> and it is FABULOUS. I want to make a million more. I have all these oddball shoes that just don't match ANYTHING so now, if I get the right color thread, I can MAKE stuff that will match them (instead of just being a freaky shoe hoarder with shoes I never, ever wear).<br /><br />It is a really great pattern, and highly recommended, so if you try it let me know how it goes!<br /><br />And now I think you're all caught up! This concludes "Stuff I Did on Facebook, Episode 1". I hope you liked it (you know who you are, too). :)<br /><br /><i>- Miri</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368563216586465659.post-62349989523962918252015-09-28T18:32:00.000-07:002018-04-12T13:00:14.853-07:00Get a House Lose a House Get a House So here's why I had to suddenly do some house rethinking.

I knew they liked it. 'Cause what's not to like?

It's super small. In fact I was going to make it into a linen closet. But they saw another use for it. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6DjgyJzXAlgAhtetuw1K8rk97TaXdDtDz3kgntt_eHoEYV7VQR7_pDQ7HaMVliRDSnB9njeYetKVIGUVHeMENXkzMrWrEXGj3T0DQ-gnHL8BFVz5sEptF17kP1isnuZ2YO12mTGxoVGoD/s400/GetNLose008.jpg" width="300" /></div>See, Sebastian is a shapeshifter. But not on purpose. He can't control it, and sometimes he just turns into all kinds of critters. He hasn't turned into anything dangerous lately (<a href="http://mirandawandering.blogspot.com/2007/12/finding-sebastian-pt-2.html" target="_blank">like that time when he turned into a snake and BIT me!</a>), but just in case, they would like any house they get to have a "holding room", where he can hang out, safely, as a whatever he turned into. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG3yIdEFEWRt3xYmw-ieKgsP1ukXphhIZWMklCrhygaD_PhRYgGIjjAhW6emB9aNtfODSt7u_7WmFyEqCzB0I22Bvxu4PQ-eMjJusEMvVComOAwKiNiSz1bxZREec5VTY7cK9Wj2_41Kth/s1600/GetNLose010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG3yIdEFEWRt3xYmw-ieKgsP1ukXphhIZWMklCrhygaD_PhRYgGIjjAhW6emB9aNtfODSt7u_7WmFyEqCzB0I22Bvxu4PQ-eMjJusEMvVComOAwKiNiSz1bxZREec5VTY7cK9Wj2_41Kth/s400/GetNLose010.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>And honestly, that IS a pretty good use for that room, and a good reason why this house is a better fit for them than the Pepperwood Farm.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGhYkj5cnViHe30vScwCyqPPhHpbgqqU0-wMt_iIwDJgCFYSejFJE4jqVASA01F31s5rhg72lHw3j1Cphx8d8K8mu7ipjpxEKoch-0vE9_qN4M9PHrK5xivE7hWTSnp_HZElMaKJzL5XY/s1600/GetNLose009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGhYkj5cnViHe30vScwCyqPPhHpbgqqU0-wMt_iIwDJgCFYSejFJE4jqVASA01F31s5rhg72lHw3j1Cphx8d8K8mu7ipjpxEKoch-0vE9_qN4M9PHrK5xivE7hWTSnp_HZElMaKJzL5XY/s400/GetNLose009.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>So I told them that was fine, we could totally trade.

It's from the 70s<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNwwAy_KkpIpehYA8R47973CQP9Je0uMNHeQGbrYemvs1TdC6WH3De23_FTIhueMFA8YYCDEhw0Z12J32vO3EykvuUVnauDpve8RnMOF2ojUTEPbGsbaWn81-S4A3YgwGxDN9bAEJkjrG/s1600/001Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNwwAy_KkpIpehYA8R47973CQP9Je0uMNHeQGbrYemvs1TdC6WH3De23_FTIhueMFA8YYCDEhw0Z12J32vO3EykvuUVnauDpve8RnMOF2ojUTEPbGsbaWn81-S4A3YgwGxDN9bAEJkjrG/s400/001Front.jpg" width="361" /></a></div><br />What makes it unusual is that it is 3/4 scale, which is a kinda weird scale, but really popular in the 70s.<br /><br />So 3/4 of an inch = 1 foot in the human world.

It's kind of groovy.

There's not a lot of furniture yet, but finding 70s house appropriate stuff will be part of the fun of having a house again. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYk0DkpwzGOdGM4BQLTRErK1K_azM1Xe8nQXH3Q8s5S7LIcMXAvsBx_fyimv8mOJOR_pJMXFfETTQg99j4CxcUl5tTbGf6WUhiFRsbnKXw2QoAP0YT23stb_QuaYjv-cwbYfnb1g_En7a/s1600/Investigating003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYk0DkpwzGOdGM4BQLTRErK1K_azM1Xe8nQXH3Q8s5S7LIcMXAvsBx_fyimv8mOJOR_pJMXFfETTQg99j4CxcUl5tTbGf6WUhiFRsbnKXw2QoAP0YT23stb_QuaYjv-cwbYfnb1g_En7a/s320/Investigating003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>So it's mine.
