Pumpkins on the Pier

This was the most fun ever. We painted faces for 3 hours solid. Here are some of the photos from our pirate face painting booth. The tiger is my grandson Hudson.

I'm not sure what 'ping my default' means but I guess I'll find out when I hit send.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

Come view my Flickr photo stream. Over 3000 photos I've taken are waiting there for your pleasure. http://ping.fm/3TTAi

Tank Bluewolf and Luna Silverstar

Tank Bluewolf and I are enjoying our pirating escapades under my name, Luna Silverstar over at Pirates Online. Only last night I took a break to go to dinner and when I got back the site was closing for maintenance and no sign of Tank Bluewolf. So phooey. Today I was on for a few hours and didn't see him on my friend's list. And now it's almost midnight already and I have to get up early to go to a juggling party for World Juggling Day. So no pirates for me tonight. Arrr.

I also play with a pirate named Jumpin Jack Slash. Best pirate name ever, heh.

Seeking Tank Bluewolf

Luna Silverstar is looking for Tank Bluewolf. I'm just hoping google picks this up so you can find me. I tried making the gmail LunaSilverstar but it is already taken. Seems the name I made up out of the clear blue sky is a character in someone else's fiction, so the name is in a lot of places. Drat. Never thought to google my pirate's online name up before. Same problem with bluewolf. Lots of bluewolf listings on google. Oh well maybe you will find me via blog. If so drop me a line at queenofdreams@gmail.com. Peace out.

Bejeweled Skeleton Key Hair Ornament

I just love this hair ornament I designed. And I listed it in my Etsy shop though I'm not sure if I can bear to part with it. I'm so excited about the way it came out.

Skulls skulls everywhere.

Arrrrrrrr..Check out this cool Skull-a-day blog. http://skulladay.blogspot.com/

Pirate Game online

I've been playing that online Pirates of the Carribean game. Even at the lowest graphics setting my computer freezes up at times. And my person is always jumping out of her hair! Pretty funny really. But my oh my is that game addicting. You've been warned Matey! http://www.piratesonline.com.

My two pirates are Ruby Daggerz and Seraphina Royale.

Great Cannonballs of Fire

Well me hearties I am working on me pirate juggling show. I must say my back is tired from chasing objects underneath other objects. So far the props I plan to use are daggers, firestaff, torches, cannonballs (croquet balls painted black) hoops made of rope or fabric, flower stix, my contact juggling spheres, and some sort of juggling clubs 'not' made of plastic. Also, I'm crocheting 3 faux chickens to juggle I'm not sure if I want a dowel in them as a handle. Or just treat them like any stuffed animal I might juggle. Hmmm. Things to ponder for sure.

Simplicity

The Simplicity pattern company has come out with a plethora of new pirate costuming patterns. I waited for the .99 sale on President's weekend, but I had to go to two different Joann's to get all the costuming patterns on my list. So now I just have to get busy sewing. Can't run around nakie you know.
