Ready to face the cold weather – Pronta para enfrentar o frio

Here I am wearing the fake fur jacket and snood that I made yesterday (click here to read about the sewing details). I styled it with a black outfit (black sweater with pleather sleeves and skinny pants, all made by me, click here for the details) and a black kitty, as you can see in the last two pics, lol!

Aqui estou eu a usar a minha jaqueta de imitação de pele com gola amovível que terminei de fazer ontem (Se estiverem interessados nos detalhes da confecção, cliquem aqui). Coordenei-a com um conjunto todo preto (as calças justas e o top com mangas de napa fui eu que fiz também, ver aqui) e uma gatinha preta, como podem observar nas últimas fotos, hehehe!

EXPOSE... the unknown crafters!

I've never been so glad to be done with a month before! Good-Bye November and Good Riddance with all your sadness!! Now i'm moving on! Ya here me!!! In taking this stand, i've decided to share another one of my favorite crafters! Nothing to cheer a gal up better than a little crafty love... so i'm pleased to introduce you to Miss Brooke from { april two eighty }! Brooke has been inspiring me for years now with her clever use of color and urban whit! She's got a sick little mind for it and you combine that with the fact she lives in the "other" city of Portland... and you're gonna find a huge fan here! How fantastic is she??

yep, she's for reals! love her!

xo, Heather

I decided to commemorate 4:59 AM on Thursday, December 2, 2010 with the story of my life. But how to organize it? Guess dictatorial regimes will work.

The Royal House of Carter
Location: Los Angeles County. This was not even two months of my life. Even I can’t remember it.

The Royal House of Reagan
Location: Los Angeles County and Orange County. Life was easy – except for learning how to read. And dealing with bullying racist – black, white, and Hispanic – kids. But most of the time I was popular, smart, and pretty. Life was good. As long as I wasn’t caught with Mom’s nail polish. I was going to be a mommy. I have no clue what happened to my preschool crush J.J.

The Royal House of Bush I
Location: Orange County. I broke my arm and had all the pre-teen girl experiences, like slumber parties and going bra shopping. Cooking without Mom’s chaperoning became the norm. I was going to be an author, singer, actress, teacher, princess, and world-famous adventurer. Boys were out of the equation. I wasn’t sure why God even made them. They can’t even get pregnant.

The Royal House of Clinton
Location: Orange County. I was twelve. I’m glad I’ll never be that age again. I also learned how to drive, and my parents have lived to tell about it. I mastered anti-social-ness like a true homeschooler. Reading was pretty much the only thing I ever did. Schoolwork was easy. Piano was easy. So I complained about being bored constantly. I was going to be an astronomer or interior designer. Boys were immature…especially those in my college classes.

The Royal House of Bush II
Location: Orange County, Riverside County, and Los Angeles County. I took up a second instrument. I got two masters degrees. I got my second case of the chicken pox. I lost my second grandparent. I had two beachside summer jobs. And I had two experiences with out-of-state snow (Minnesota and Washington, DC). I didn’t want to be anything when I grew up. I was using graduate school to avoid the real world. I fell in love twice, and had my heart broken twice. Men were jerks.

The Royal House of Obama
Location: Orange County. I advanced to candidacy. I hope to graduate…eventually. When I grow up, I want to be a blogger. My most recent date talked about retirement. No, I’m not seeing him again.

Summer and Scott 10/10/10

Summer and Scott chose 10/10/10 for their wedding day because they are nerds (self professed) and their images are dorky and sweet and absolutely romantically spectacular!!!

Christian Carnival II – December 1, 2010

Time for the Christian Carnival II Blog Carnival again. Thanks to everyone who contributed and waited patiently for my Pacific Time Zone posting. Here is this week’s blog list in a not-so-randomly generated order:

“There's No God? How Boring!”
Atheists might think the Intelligent Design movement is a big snore, but conversantlife argues the opposite.

“Guitar Playing as Guitar Praying”
String Love Guitar Lessons gives a lesson on making learning the guitar a religious experience.

“Do You Prefer Wealth or Appearances?”
Free Money Finance talks about flaunting money you don’t have.

“The Worries of This World: A Call to Prayer”
Heart, Mind, Soul, and Strength encourages us to give our concerns to God.

“Jesus the Bread of Life”
INSPIKS discusses God’s provision through manna from heaven and Jesus from heaven.

“God Wrestles with Our Strengths”
The Disciple’s Journal talks about relying on our own strength versus surrendering to God. Interesting post, although I’m not sure what sort of example Jacob is since he won.

“No Strings Attached”
W2W Soul discusses how easy it is to be suspicious of others’ intentions rather than gratefully receive from them.

“On This Day in Christian History”
Beyond Belief reviews Robert J. Morgan’s On This Day in Christian History: 365 Amazing and Inspiring Stories about Saints, Martyrs and Heroes.

“Dreams”
Ridge’s Blog talks about pursuing our goals, even the big ones.

“Surviving Rough Relationship Issues”
The Art of Creative Relationship encourages readers to work through problems. I really liked this statement: “Human beings are complex, and when you put two human beings together, you get exponential complexity.”

“Worried About Money? The Bible Says…”
Christian Personal Finance discusses the negative side of stress.

“Men and Temptations”
Who Me Be A Leader? talks about the responsibility to be self-disciplined.

“Who Else Wants a Comfortable Place of Worship for their Family and Special Needs Child?”
Help! S-O-S for Parents lists resource links to help families have a better worship experience.

“Will We Have Blood on Our Hands?”
Other Food: Daily Devos reminds us of our responsibility to unbelievers around us.

“Basic Knowledge for the Educated”
The Chisholm Source talks about the problems explaining evolutionary processes through genetic mutations. I’m puzzled as to the point of the title and final sentence since they would incorrectly imply that the “educated” are all on one side of the debate over Darwinism.

“Nothing but the truth...”
Angela talks about... our relationship with God through prose and pictures.

“No Child Left Behind?”
Thinking in Christ compares state-mandated drugging of children with “sorcery” discussed in the Bible.

“Do You Know How To Receive Gifts?”
Personal Finance By The Book discusses being willing to accept from God and others. Reading it brought to mind Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages since receiving gifts isn’t really one of mine.

“To Treat One Another As Humans”
Thinking Christian responds to critics over gay rights.

“Moral Difficulties in the Bible: The Concessionary Morality Response”Lastly, head over to mike austin’s blog to read more on the discussion about genocide in the Old Testament.

Hwyl fawr.
