I've been such a good boy this year that I have bought myself an early Christmas present hehehehehehe :-)

I know this image is being shared, I am glad I am getting the hits for it, but can anyone tell me where in the comments? just curios.

Drinking sustainable coffee beans make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Teylers Museum (Dutch: Teylers Museum, pronounced [ˈtɛilərs myˈzeɪʏm]) is an art, natural history, and science museum in Haarlem, Netherlands. Established in 1778, Teylers Museum was originally founded as a centre for contemporary art and science. The historic centre of the museum is the neoclassical Oval Room (1784), which was built behind the house of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702–1778), the so-called Fundatiehuis (English: Foundation House). Pieter Teyler was a wealthy cloth merchant and banker of Scottish descent, who bequeathed his fortune for the advancement of religion, art and science. He was a Mennonite and follower of the Scottish Enlightenment. Source: Wikipedia.

English Muffin Bread:

 

Recipe Courtesy of King Arthur Flour

 

3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

 

1 tablespoon sugar

 

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

 

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

 

1 tablespoon instant yeast

 

1 cup milk

 

1/4 cup water

 

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil

cornmeal, to sprinkle in pan

 

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast; stir to combine.

 

2. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the milk, water, and oil and heat to between 120°F and 130°F. Make sure to stir the liquid before measuring its temperature. If you don't have a thermometer, don't worry, King Arthur states that the liquid should feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable as bath water.

 

3. Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Beat at high speed for 1 minute, the dough will be quite soft and sticky.

 

4. Lightly grease an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal. I just tossed in about a 1/4 of cornmeal and tilted the pan until the inside was thoroughly coated.

 

5. Scoop the dough into the prepared pan. I used a rubber spatula sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to level the top of the dough out a bit.

 

6. Cover the pan (I used plastic wrap), and let the dough rise until it's just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. King Arthur Flour notes that when you look at the rim of the pan from eye level, you should see the dough, but it shouldn't be more than about 1/4" over the rim. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, if you heated the liquid to the correct temperature and your kitchen isn't very cold. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.

 

7. Remove the cover, and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, until it's golden brown and its interior temperature is 190°F. Mine baked for 26 minutes and it was perfect.

 

8. Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

 

Well this was a adventure of a cake at first I thought I was to make a first birthday

then I found out this was suppose to be a Christening cake,

Well not a problem as I found out the day before I took the one out of the bears hand and

gave him a red heart:-) now if that birthday cake arrived at the place and everyone saw it

that was going to be some surprise...LOL

The cake is totally my creation, inside White tender cake with Chocolate and Vanilla cream

iced in Buttercream and then dressed with rolled fondant,

all the decorations made with Gum paste, the only think that is not mine are the MM's

I make my own molds out of wood for the wagons. even the fondant smoother

Lighting conditions on my shop are not that great I wish I made this at home.

Wooden sculpture from the 15th century of St Olof (the Norwegian king Olaf II Haraldsson, 995-1030). He was killed at the battle of Stiklestad and canonised just a year later by the local Bishop Grimkell in Trondheim (then Nidaros), and the canonisation was confirmed by the pope 1164, making him an official saint of the Catholic church. He was quite popular not only in Norway but also in Sweden and Denmark - in Sweden often known as St Olof or Olav den Helige.

 

In Granhult's church, which is the oldest entirely preserved wooden church in Sweden, the timber has been dated to the 13th century - the oldest parts of the church has been dated to the 1220s. In the 1830s it was ordered that the church was to be pulled down - probably because it was deemed as old-fashioned, dark and should be replaced with something more suitable and modern, but the villagers refused and the church was turned into storage facilities. From 1879 it was once again permitted to hold services in the church. The wall shingles were partly replaced in the 19th century, the exact age of the older bits that remains is not known.

 

The pews and pulpits inside the church dates to the 17th century, so too the paintings in the sacristy - with additional paintings in the ceiling there from the early 18th century by Hans Brachwagen (probably). The nave and chancel was painted Johan Christan Zschotzscher (directly on the timber) in 1753. The medieval windows were replaced in the north sometime in the 18th century (but before the room was painted) and the windows in the south in 1795.

Since we did go absolutely nuts with the spring cleaning (in fact not just cleaning, but repainting furniture, sanding, staining, etc), I thought it was about time to share some inside images of my home. The love affair I have with it grows regularly. Plus, the porch shots were probably getting old! ;)

 

I *believe* from the research I have done that this craftsman was built in the early 40s.

Inside the abandoned New Bedford Orpheum Theatre

 

www.orphinc.org

 

"The Orpheum opened on April 15th, 1912 at a very important time in American history. Little did the people know at the ”Grand Opening” that the Titanic would sink on that very same night. This was just before World War I, when the City’s mills were busy, the economy was good even though the whaling industry was slowly declining.

 

The Orpheum was constructed under the ownership of The French Sharpshooter’s Club of New Bedford. This esteemed group operated a ballroom and armored shooting range in the building for nearly fifty years. Le Club des Francs-Tireurs had many events such as dances, benefits, and shooting tournaments. The Club was instrumental in raising and training recruits for both World Wars. The theatre was leased from the Sharpshooter’s to the Orpheum Circuit of Boston."

Take a peek inside, it will be worth it

 

This was my weekend experiment and I so badly wanted to share it with you that this is my second upload of the day :D

 

I liked the reflections and the colors in this one :-)

 

A lot of shots of this bauble (gifted by Mom again :-)) will follow in near future :-)

....... all Grace wanted for her 3rd Birthday was a Peppa Pig cake ..... but it had to be pink!

 

I don't think this could be any more pink ...... it's even pink on the inside as it's filled with that delicious raspberry buttercream!

 

When Grace sees this at her party this afternoon it will have the addition of three candles ...... pink, of course! LOL

Here is a summer shoot of my friend Akinco at Takedao, this is a really awesome location a friend of mine told me about an year ago, and since then I went there a few times. There are old railway tunnels that are not used anymore, and not are a kind of a hiking course. The place is fantastc for experimenting with flashes inside the tunnel! The design of the dresses is made by Ken Isaka @ Baa Maa, and we actually do that shooting together!

 

You can see the strobist info, it's quite long though, I wanted to play a bit with flashes in the tunnel and try some different coloring! I'm using the softbox as a main light, and other flashes are fired by optical slave, and it's a kind of chain reaction!

Masjid Negara – National mosque

The ultra modern mosque, with its design based upon the Grand Mosque in Mecca, with 48 smaller green domes dotting the courtyard, and one large blue tiled dome. It has a large capacity of 15,000 people and is surrounded by lush greenery which expands to a 13-acre land (53,000 m2). Around the compound are many reflecting pools and fountains.

The mosque was actually built on the site of a church in 1965. The original structure was designed by a three-person team from the Public Works Department: UK architect Howard Ashley, and Malaysians Hisham Albakri and Baharuddin Kassim.The mosque has been standing firm on its grounds since then and is now deemed as an important symbol of the Islamic country of Malaysia.

The best features of the mosque are the 73 meters ( 240ft) high minaret and its 18 pointed star which is its main roof. The main roof's design was inspired from the idea of an open blue umbrella while the minaret is like a folded umbrella. The roof symbolizes the 5 pillars of Islam and the 13 states of Malaysia.

The building itself includes a hall, a mausoleum, a library, offices, an open courtyard.

The mausoleum, situated at the rear of the mosque, stands in a circular reflecting pool and is connected to the main building by a covered foot-bridge. It is circular in shape and is covered by a pleated shell concrete dome similar in shape to that of the Grand Hall but with only seven folds, one of which covers a reserve for the national hero’s tomb.

Non-muslims are welcome, however there is a different entrance for “tourists” and of course there are set hours around the prayer times. Special purple hooded cloaks are provided if you are not appropriately dressed.

Near the main prayer hall, there are volunteers who would be more than willing to explain the history and some information about the building and the religion to you.

Haha, i see alot of trees in my work recently. This wasn't on purpose though.. just my mood i guess! Hope you'll like it!

and a few of her many expressions.

One of the things I love about this girl is that the same eyechips in different positions can create such drastically different expressions.

Un look para el frío intenso! Hacía mucho que no usaba este tapado sintético, y lo mejor es que cuando te lo ponés, sentís un poco de frío, pero a los 5 minutos, te empieza a calentar todo el cuerpo! Me gusta mucho la sensación del peso que tiene, y cómo te envuelve el cuerpo...

El vestido, drapeado y con la espalda buche, también se siente sensacional, y lo completé con una cartera Chanel 2.55 imitación...

Wednesday April 11th 3465 S.E.A.

 

Bill Died yesterday. In our panic we hid in the small pond inside the arboretum and hoped the water would hide our scent from the wolf. We knew it had been following us as we tried to make our escape we just didn't know how close it was until it was to late. I am ashamed to say that I didn't even look back. As soon as it grabbed Bill I ran like the coward I am and didn't stop until I passed out from exhaustion.

 

When I came to I found myself in an unfamiliar part of the space station America and by all the medical equipment around I knew I had somehow entered the experiment facility itself. A sudden rage at the idiot scientist filled me and I set out to find why those bastards created such a crime against nature. I quickly booted up a terminal and started sifting through the data.

 

After what seemed like an eternity I found what I was looking for. The head scientists private notes. Unfortunately I needed his passcard to access the files so I started searching for his office. What I found shook me to my core. As I walked in the first thing I noticed was that it looked like someone had ransacked the room and then I saw the bodies. As I took in the horrible scene something something in the corner caught my attention. It was a human being contained inside a test tube. Quickly I grabbed the passcard from the desk and ran to the terminal, I had to find out just what was going on in this facility.

 

As I turned I heard it, a soft shuffling coming down the corridor, then I saw its shadow and the horrible truth dawned on me. The creature had made this room its dwelling.

 

I cannot get out... A shadow lurks in the dark... I cannot get out... It is coming...

A continuation/end to the story I started in "Experiment Gone Wrong" and I would highly suggest reading the other story if you want everything to make sense. Also, by no means am I master writer, so please, don't take the story seriously. I wrote both of them right after I uploaded them and they are bound to have mistakes :P

 

I would also suggest viewing it on black:

View On Black

Taken at the Imanishi House in Naramachi- the temple town around Gangō-ji, in Nara. The area has a well-preserved Edo period feel to it. One of the old houses in Naramachi open to the public is the Imanishi residence. The home is designed in a shoin-zukuri architectural style that became popular in the 1400s. The head monk of a local temple lived in this house and it came into the possession of the Imanishi family in 1924.

This futuristic architectural masterpiece was worth at least 100 shots for me (at least that is what it felt like) from every corner and every angle possible. All the lines, edges, curves, twists etc. were just perfect! From botton to top, left to right, vertical to horizontal, everything was possible with this photo motif.

In the future I am sure I will upload several more, this was just the beginning :)

I'm sure most people suspected my insides looked like this anyway.

"The magnificent interior closely resembles the inside of St. Peter's. The high altar even features a replica of favored Vatican artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini's vast baldachin (a permanent canopy of state that sits over the altar), which holds the same spot of honor in the Rome church. Made of gilded bronze, the ornate baldachin at Cathedral Marie-Reine-du-Monde was designed by architects Arthur Vincent and Olindo Gratton." (Cathedral website)

 

Well ..

 

It was last week when I decided they need to be outside. I don't want to hide them or just keep them in boxes and if someone have a crazy comment on that or disapprove it, it is fine. I just approve it!

 

I know in my family, they don't like or understand my bjds but as long as I keep them in my room and don't show them, they are cool to forget them. I arranged this space lately because I wanted to display as much of my girls as possible ..

 

They are all here except :

- Amellie - MSD LE Pine from eluts

- Dalia - YoSD LE Choco from eluts

- Bee - YoSD DND Heart size doll

- Lala - Basic Lati Yellow Benny

- Cleo - Lati LE Magican Ruki

- Apple - Asleep Eidolon tiny Donut

 

& ofcourse my coming girls/boys from Lati / Fairy Land :)

 

I just love how I changed their rooms .. It is nothing I bought lately .. well some items I bought around September / October but wasn't able to think of a way to display them n_____n

 

I hope you enjoy this photo .. it is an early ADAW photo I know since i usually post that by Friday but I couldn't resist posting this today *Happy Leap day* .. I might just do a double ADAW this week as well x3 ..

A friend of mine is starting small catering business so she asked me to take some photos of their baked stuff. Although my 400D is a modest choice for commercial photography, a 50mm f1.4 lens made some good effects, I believe. This is my first time to shoot food for commercial purposes.

I've decided to do another 52-week project, as I really enjoyed doing my first one last year. The first theme this year is timely, as we all think about New Year Resolutions. I've spent a few days deliberating on this theme, and considered everything from dieting, working harder/smarter, going to bed earlier, cooking more meals for my family, getting more exercise, ..... but none of them felt right. I've settled today on what my good intentions are for 2015, and have endeavored to capture it within this still life. So, my good intentions for 2015 are: to enjoy the good things in life every day - beginning the day with a nice cup of good coffee, ending it with a good book, taking photos (as I plan to bring this "small camera" around with me in my handbag), enjoying nice chocolate in moderation, seeing the beauty in the little things, and appreciating those I love. To live in the now, and to enjoy each minute as it passes.

Development of the trilogy blog – pride – persons.

The second part of this trilogy that I dedicate to explain, and to explain myself, because I use the captions (feet) of my photos as if they were my personal blog. This time I will comment because I feel proud, basing on my concept of person that I exposed in the first photo of the trilogy.

 

I am a heterosexual crossdresser girl. It is a fact … but, what does it means? If I you tell the truth, I don´t know it with certainty. It seems as if every crossdresser girl had her own definition … probably because there are many branches inside the crossdress … but this it is another theme. I suppose that to the others happen like to me, I am ashamed instinctively of this facet of my life, it is something cultural, the image of the "transvestite" is at least ridiculous, laughable, even I fall down in it without thinking it. It is like if it was so unnatural, so out of place, so incomprehensibly … why a sane man, that considers himself as man, would try to pass off as a woman?... And this it is the nice image, also there is the vicious image, in which you are a disgusting pervert which who know how many more barbarities will do. It is not to feel very proud … not. But the reason wins to the instinct, I am a person, and as such I have reasoning and feelings, and they say to me that this it is not the reality, it is not my reality. Maybe it is a parafilia, as some people say, or maybe it is the aptitude to overcome the assigned role and experiencing positive sensations that are denied to us without reason. I do not have answers, disease or quality, I don´t know, but I know that I do not have motives for which to be ashamed. I am a person, with multiple characteristics, but none of them defines me lonely and to be a crossdresser girl is not the exception, only it is a small part of me. Globally I am not discontented with me, do not understand me badly, I should improve very much as person, but if tomorrow I would die and I would have to give account for my life and for what I am, I believe that I would go out in peace, and it is a motive of pride. The global pride like person, to feel yourself well with total honesty is what really matters. And the pride for the different characteristics that I have? It is a different pride, with different purposes, bad some as arrogance, and other more positive as the reaffirmation. The pride that I feel for be a crossdress girl is of this type. If the things were as they should be, surely I would not feel proud for it, would be another characteristic more as to have small foot or the dark eyes. But unfortunately the things are not like that, and some groups have had to use pride as method of defense, as reaffirmation against discriminations and injustices.The example most clear is the homosexuality. I am hetero and it allows me to see the situation from out, impartially, and I believe that they do very well in feeling proud, because understandable better or worse, what harm do it?, why to make to feel badly to a person for a quality that goes implicit in that person?... My crossdress does not harm anybody either and though I can give up practising it, it is not anything that could make disappear of me, as I cannot change my liking or my way of being, it is a part of my intimate self. So, if I see it good for the others, why not for me?

I look around and see so many motives for what the people should be ashamed, so many attitudes, so many actions that cause so much harm … And later I look at me, being ashamed instinctively for wearing a dress or for feeling feminine … Not … I refuse to accept it, it is possible that in the moment I could not avoid the instinct, but I refuse to accept consciously a shame that does not correspond to me, because of it I am proud! This one is not an allegation in order that we all go out to the light and feel us superproud (though it would be very well also I understand that it is very difficult and dangerous), it is for feeling us well with ourselves and we do not torture psychologically ourselves without motive. The crossdress makes me feel good, and when I dress and look at the mirror, there goes out for me a smile of satisfaction and pride. I am proud!!

 

Desarrollo de la trilogía blog-orgullo-personas.

Segunda parte de esta trilogía que dedico a explicar, y a explicarme a mi misma de paso, el porque utilizo los pies de fotos como si fueran mi blog personal. Esta vez os comentaré porqué me siento orgullosa, basándome en mi concepto de persona que expuse en la primera foto de la trilogía.

 

Soy una chica crossdresser heterosexual. Es un hecho… pero, ¿que significa eso? Si os digo la verdad, ni yo misma lo se con seguridad. Parece como si cada chica cd tuviera su propia definición… quizás porque hay muchísimas ramas dentro del crossdress… pero ese es otro tema. Supongo que a las demás os pasará como a mí, me avergüenzo instintivamente de esta faceta de mi vida, es algo cultural, la imagen del “travesti” es como mínimo ridícula, risible, yo misma caigo en eso sin pensarlo. Es como si fuera tan antinatural, tan fuera de lugar, tan incomprensible… ¿por que un hombre cuerdo, que se considera hombre, intentaría pasar por mujer?... Y esa es la imagen amable, también está la imagen viciosa, en la que eres un pervertido asqueroso que ha saber que barbaridades mas hará. No es para sentirse muy orgullosa… no. Pero la razón vence al instinto, soy una persona, y como tal tengo razonamiento y sentimientos, y ellos me dicen que esa no es la realidad, no es mi realidad. Quizás se trate de una parafilia como dicen algunos, o quizás sea la capacidad de superar el rol asignado y experimentar sensaciones positivas que nos son negadas sin razón. No tengo respuestas, enfermedad o cualidad, no lo se, lo que si se es que no tengo motivos por los que avergonzarme. Soy una persona, con múltiples características, pero ninguna de ellas me define por si sola y ser una chica cross no es la excepción, solo es una pequeña parte de mi. Globalmente no estoy descontenta de mi misma, no me entendáis mal, debería de mejorar muchísimo como persona, pero si mañana muriera y tuviera que rendir cuentas sobre mi vida y lo que soy, creo que saldría en paz, y eso es motivo de orgullo. El orgullo global como persona, el sentirse bien con una misma de forma totalmente sincera es lo que realmente importa. ¿Y el orgullo por las diferentes características que tengo? Ese es un orgullo distinto, con distintas finalidades, algunas malas como la soberbia, y otras mas positivas como la reafirmación. El orgullo que siento por ser una chica crossdress es de este tipo. Si las cosas fueran como deberían de ser, seguramente no me sentiría orgullosa por ello, sería otra característica mas como el tener los pies pequeños o los ojos negros. Pero desgraciadamente las cosas no son así, y algunos colectivos han tenido que tirar de orgullo como método de defensa, como reafirmación ante discriminaciones e injusticias. El ejemplo mas claro de esto es la homosexualidad. Yo soy hetero y eso me permite ver la situación desde fuera, imparcialmente, y creo que hacen muy bien en sentirse orgullosos, porque se entienda mejor o peor, ¿que mal hacen a nadie?, ¿por que hacer sentir mal a una persona por una cualidad que va implícita en ella?... Mi crossdress tampoco hace mal a nadie y aunque puedo renunciar a practicarlo, no es algo que pueda hacer desaparecer de mí, al igual que no puedo cambiar mis gustos o mi forma de ser, es parte de mi yo íntimo. Así que si lo veo bien para los demás, ¿por que no para mí?

Miro alrededor y veo tantos motivos por lo que la gente debería avergonzarse, tantas actitudes, tantas acciones que hacen tanto mal… Y después me miro a mí, avergonzándome instintivamente por ponerme un vestido o por sentirme femenina… No… no lo acepto, puede que en el momento no pueda evitar el instinto, pero me niego a aceptar conscientemente una vergüenza que no me corresponde, ¡por eso estoy orgullosa! Este no es un alegato para que salgamos todas a la luz y nos sintamos superorgullosas (aunque eso estaría muy bien también entiendo que es muy difícil y peligroso), sino para que nos sintamos bien con nosotras mismas y no nos martiricemos psicológicamente sin motivo. El crossdress me hace sentir bien, y cuando me visto y me miro al espejo, me sale una sonrisa de satisfacción y orgullo. ¡¡Estoy orgullosa!!

Ive always loved this Church as my Grandparents, Parents, Myself and my Son were all baptised here so it holds a special place to me, I always wanted to photo the interior of this magnificent building in hi detail and finally got my opportunity yesterday!

 

Constructed in 1895 the Immaculate Conception Chapel or Church is a true work of art that still has not been surpassed by height or beauty by any other building in a hundred years for miles within the local area, by far Strabane's most iconic landmark

This is the floor that we walked on when entering the lower part of the palace. It is wooden so it would be not hard on the horses that entered here also.
