Channeling my Inner Pirate

Now that I am home again I can post the pirate photos I took on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Aarrgghhh! No one else wanted to play with me. They were all tired from the baby shower.

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.

International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2008

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and as I was alone all day, I had no one to talk to, but I did take some photos to celcbrate the day and some of them were even picked up for a public news article on line.

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.

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.
