Nenriel was standing on a ledge. A cliff behind her with the top far above her head. Below was a sheer drop that seemed to vary in height. Somehow she knew she couldn't call for help. She was alone. Her friends were so far away they either couldn't or wouldn't come if she called. She couldn't cry, she couldn't scream, She could only stand there as the wind buffeted her.

Suddenly a bit of her ledge crumbled away tumbling down into the abyss. She clung closer to the wall. Soon her lttle lege would be gone. Who would catch her if she fell? Who would help her climb back to the top before she too tumbled into distant memory like those rocks?

No one.

It was just her and the wind and the snow.

There had been shadows pass by below, but did she dare jump? And voices had floated up on the wind, but could she trust them?

Who knew? so she stood on her little ledge and waited, waited to see if she would be caught when she fell.

Another bit of rock fell tumbling as it went... It would be soon.

Well I haven't posted here in a while... And I knew this would happen if I got a blogspot! But things have changed since I graduated! Things have gotten brighter! I got a job! (Even though I lost it) I changed my Email, I got a new blog, and all these little things were my small way of growing up. My old email address had the numbers "12 13 & 14" in it and I made it when that happened to ne me and my best friend's ages! So my new one is killer! And just among other things this just so happened to be my rant blog, and I haven't really had anything to rant about! (Except losing my job) and even with that it's been all good in the big picture...

Okay well maybe the whole thing is that I got rededicated a few Sundays ago. and things in my life have just gotten better from there! I can look out on life with a smile now! I have a vacation to look foreward to, I have my 18th birthday to look foreward to. *Double take* Ayeyayay! 18 wow!

Ehem moving on. So since thing are looking good, I've been posting ALOT! over at Blogspot! So come on over and check it out. Follow me! Comment! (Anyone can comment anonymously just let me know who you are!) So I'll see you over there! (and don't worry I'll still check in over here! ) avonleadreamer.blogspot.com

okay so Mom brought me in to work today. Fine. I locked the door behind me, set down my stuff turned on the lights and flicked on the radio...right when Andy and Allison started talking about that day's "St. Jude" Drive. Great! Good for them. I commend them!.. I was NOT going to listen to sob stories all day. So I went back out front to get my CDs... AAAND realized I'd forgotten my bag with all my clothes and my CDs and my books in it sitting on the counter at home... Needless to say I kicked the counter.. I couldn't call mom, no cell phone and she wasn't home yet.

So I was gonna wait and call her and have her come back. Well lucky me! she called me as soon as she walked in the door to tell me my Victoria Mag had finally come in! Well let's just say she wasn't happy when I asked her to bring it and my bag to me...

Well as I waited I walked around the store, checking one thing or another, when I noticed this montsrous black line of PEE ANTS! INSIDE THE STORE!! I followed it over to the open pies next to the bakery... they were CRAWLING! So I called Ron and He called the bug man, and I got rid of the pies...

Well I suppose that's all because the rest of the day we didn't have hardly anyone come through...

Anyhoo.. on to other subjects.. #1 I'm kinda thinking of switching to Blogspot... or adding a blogspot. There just seems to be a bigger following over there, and I dunno if I want to keep ranting to empty cyberspace... but we'll see.

I'm about ready to start a new project. Old timer's day at my church is coming up on October 12th so I kinda want to either make a full Anne costume or simply add a vest to mine. So we'll see.

But I guess that's all!
Bye for now!

Yeah how terrible am I? I haven't posted in a week! *slaps own wrist* I dunno I think I just needed a break after posting EVERY day last week. So here I sit in my PJ's and pin curls, writing about my life.. which isn't that exciting this week.

#1 I did finish my vintage dress, which I then wore to church... much to the embarressment of Aunt Kathy... I Like it, though it does need a few adjustments.



I've decided that instead of going to Indiana for a week me and Jess are going to Bilmore for a weekend. It's much more of a conveniance for both of us. Her with her schoolwork, me with my everyday work... So btw Jess I was thinking of going the third weekend in October. it'd give us pleanty of time to prepare :D

Oh! I'm thinking of making one of these-->www.sensibility.com/pattern/main/ dresses to wear the day we go. Okay so I want one anyways :D But I figure they could be modern enough to wear out but old fashioned enough to get good pics. :D I was thinking the afternoon dress (look at the pics of the girls on the beach)

Also I've started work on Aunt Kathy's quilt for my bed. It's looking great! *mumbles* I probably aught to be working on it now *whistles*

Well Gotta go work on the quilt!!

Well first of all I just want to say I'm not allergic to wheat! WOOT! I decided one week was enough to get anything out of my body so Wednesday I had a big plate of Mexican food (a loverly restraunt called "El Mesquit" which we're afraid isn't going to make it cause it's never busy) Which was loaded with wheat, to no avail, nothing happened. so WOOT! I can eat what I want! But it has givven me a greater appreciation for dad. It maes me want to go make him a gf cake. :D Not to mention make pasta and bread and.. well anything that he can't eat, but with g/f flour. :D

Well we're nearing the end of "WifD" Today and Tomorrow are it! *sniffle* I'm loving it though, I always do. Everyone needs a chance to dress up for no reason. It gives a girl a reason to live. Anyhoo! Yesterdays outfit I mentioned earlier. It was the shirt I bought at Catos and a big flower accesory from the same place. I also once again used "Strawberry Koi's" "Notebook" inspired hairstyle. Please don't mind the weird look on my face :D


Today I'm wearing a dress I bought at Goody's before they closed. My hair I simply pulled back into a side pony, it was still curled from yesterday, and though you can't see it the same hair flower is in it.



on another not, I'm nearly done with my vintage patterned dress. It looks AWESOME! I can't wait to wear it!  All I lack is the buttins and hemming. Too bad I don't have a pair of white gloves to go with it! 

On a strange note I've done something very random. I learned the line dance from Alan Jackson's "Good Time" video. yes, I know. What's worse is what happens when you decide to practice it at work... You end up turned away from the door, dancing your heart out until some freaky kid comes and looks at you funny... Yes my bad. :D

Aaaand on a last note, I finally broke down and got myself a You tube account. Not that I'll actully  do much other than comment and favorite. It does make it easier to find my favorite videos. So next time you're on You tube check out my channel at "AvonleaDreaming" Not that there's much on it yet :D but there will be a link to the wonderful "Strawberry Koi" And Jess Take my work and check her out. She's part Japanese and fully vintage! How cool right? She's got a lot of great stuff!! Check out her Webbie too!

Well I suppose that's all for now. Words of wisdom: Don't dance at work, unless it's in the back room.

well My best friend (Salquelatine) is currently talking about Obama and the HR 3200 Calamity on her blog, and here I am about to talk about my newest vintage Dress, and my shopping trip, not to mention WifD. *Grin* Anne And Diana anyone?? 

But anyways on to the Girly Vintage stuff. :D

here is Yesterdays and Today's WifD outfits. I'm late due to not having a computer with an SD port. :D





Like my Vintagey bike?? My dad got it for me last summer. I love it!!

And the hat is the one I usually wear with tuesday's outfit. Alos Originally yesterday I had my hair in the same do as on Tuesday. and Lastly! Yesterday's shirt is of my own design. :D great, huh?

It was originally just the green Cami, I had bought it to impress a boyfriend. Yes it was Jordan and needless to say it didn't work. So anyways I've had it for years, and decided it needed re-vamped. The sleeves are LotR inspired. Arwen's dress in TTT in Aragorn's dream. But they've got a bit of Ever after and Victorian era in them as well. :D


Today was a shopping day. I bought a really pretty shirt at Catos (which you will see tomorrow. :D) And I bought mom some Egyptian cotton towels at Belk, then lastly I bought an awesome black Beret at TJ max. :D So I'm happy, Shopping day went well.

On a final note I'm working on my first vintage pattern! yay!! My Grandmother gave me a whole stack of patterns from the 60's that she bought new! Cool right?? Well I'm working on this one--> vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Simplicity_3446  I'm doing view one. Mom bought me some pretty navy blue fabric, (to match my new shoes) and some oversize white buttons which I'm going to put on the front, (though they won't be working buttons)

I'll post pictures as it comes. I've got the bodice nearly together. I'm hoping to be able to wear it on Sunday.

But anyways I believe that's all! No words of wisdom today. But you could join in the discussion on Sal's Blog about the calamity. See you tomorrow!!

Well Day three! I'm excited. Today I wore my new shoes so my outfit centered around them. The shirt Im wearing my mom bought at vanity fair a while back. I think it's 30's inspired. Sometimes I wear a hat with it. Today I didn't because I wore my "As seen on TV" hair thing.. not sure of the real name but it looks like two combs with elastic beading contecting it. (picture below) The skirt I'm wearing I'm really excited about, It's a size four!! My mom gave it to me a while ago and it didn't fit, now it does!!

Also, yes I am sitting at the sewing machine. How about that eh? I vacuum in pearls and sew in high heels :D But no, I was working on those uniforms I had to alter. :D





To end, today's words of wisdom are: "It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. - Dale Carnegie(1888-1955) American Educator

...I think that's going to become my motto.. too many unhappy people in this world!

Well here's my outfit for day two.




Closeup of shoes:


The dress I bought at "Play it again Sam's" a Local consignment shop. The Shoes I'll explain in a moment and the belt came off of a blazer I got back right after Christmas.

Okay now to explain the shoes. I had to go into town today because I had forgotten something at my Aunt's. (okay so it was my boss's Daughter's Work Uniforms that I'm taking in for her...) but anyways we met in the K-mart parking lot, and I wanted to go in Payless while we waited. Now this is the problem with a steady weekly paycheck.. I have money now.. And I was looking for some work flats and came away with them AND heels...

but okay I'm excited because they're my first pair of Vintagey shoes. But get this, they were $5!!!! They were on clearance for ten and it was buy one get one day. So I got the flats and these.

But anyways from there I had to go into where I work and sign some papers, then went to the Library and the bank. So just normal errands for the day.

But I'm very excited. I finished Jane Eyre two days ago and now I wanted a new one. My library is very small (for now) and very strange. A while back I went in looking for Jane Austen books, a well known and well liked author... One. One Jane austen book. And One that I could order in..

But! when I went looking for Edith Wharton, a not so well known author, I found several of her books.. But hey! I'm not complaining, In the end I got "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton and I'm excited to get started on it!

But anyways To end, Today's Words of Wisdom come from Anne Shirley again, "Good friends are always together in Spirit"  So no matter how much I miss you guys right now, We're always together. :D

Well I thought I would write this down while it was still fresh in my mind. I had a strange dream last night. It was comforting in a way. I dreamt of a man, well almost a boy. He was mine, though our relationship must have just started or something. I won't go prattling on about details. But he was blonde and thin, with blue eyes. About a quarter of the way through, he turned into Jordan... yes eek. And almost immediately I started screaming at him. I don't remember what I said, but I'm sure "Go away" was part of it. He just cackled and dissapeared.

But then I saw the boy again. I was sobbing by then and I ran to him. I rushed into his arms and said "I don't know who you are but please" ("Hold me" was understood) The dream changed and once again I won't go into details, but I dreamt about him all night. He was almost Menanite in his attitude, almost backward he was so quiet, but he was sweet.

In the end he gave up his Fiancee for me. (I know call me a butt!)

But anyways that's my dream of the month. I enjoyed it, it gave me hope for a while. 

But on to RL. I have the picture of my suit on my computer it's only a matter of uploading it. which since I'm at home may take a while and I have to go to church. 

Today is the first day of "WiFD" or "Week in Feminine Dress" on the "Sense and sensibility patterns message forum" So Today I'm wearing a dress I bought at the dress barn a while back. It's brown and pink and very 1940's in style. Yes pictures coming later :D

More pictures to come on this, My uncle bought himself a harley two days ago. (Midlife crisis right?) and he bought the T-shirt, Do-rag and dorky helmet to go with it. :D To answer your question, NO I haven't ridden it yet... and with him I don't intend to. :D

I Did get my hair cut friday, it looks good! and for some reason very much like Jess's... :look  Yes, pics coming!

Also! the wheat free diet is going very well. I've gona almost a week... aaand not only have I quit sniffing, but my skin's clearing up... so once again.. not looking good. Aunt Kathy doesn't seem to know what to do with me! Friday night I had a baked potatoe and beenie weenies for supper... but that's okay, we'll get it right sooner or later.  Dad and I are hopefully going to the grocery store after church (that and I may con him into going to the flea market and some antique stores as well :D )

OH! And one more thing on the vintage search. A neighbor and her husband came by on monday night and as we were talking she said she had a vintage dress and some hats that she wasn't using anymore and that I could have them! She brought them by this week. One hat it wearable, the other... reaaaally gaudy. The dress I can work with, but lastly she gave me a lace shawl!! I'm so happy, cause I was litterally just about to buy one! how exciting!!

But anyhoo, I shall go. Gotta finish getting ready for church. So to finish today here's some well know Anne Shirley Words of Wisdom. Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it. So no matter what you do today, there's always Tomorrow. And that's true in a Biblical sense as well. No matter what you do in this world, there's always tomorrow to make it right!

Have a Happy Sunday!

Edit: PICS!! #1 WifD

Well today went great, I had an absolute blast! The suit held up like a dream! one of the back straps started coming loose and a few other seams, but other than that it was AWESOME! Had a great time with the cousies. Kaitelynne's best friend came with us and Alex met a friend when we first got there. So me and Aunt Kathy stayed with the girls and Alex rode rides all day. We had a great time. Prices were atrocious as usual. Our lunch, of a hot dog for me and nachos for the others plus drinks and a giant cookie, cost $30!!! And Alex got a burger and cost $15, isn't that crazy?? But I have pics of the suit, but due to lack of a camera chord I have to wait 'till we go down to Dunn's tomorrow so I can upload them.

Luckily though, I'm only a little burnt. I literally slathered myself in sunscreen.

I've just had a really great talk with Jess. You don't realize you miss someone until you talk to them again (at least in my world) She was just talking about camp and what a great spiritual growth she'd had, And I listened. It was really great just to listen even, but I had to cut it short due to my aunt not having free incoming calls anymore *sniffle* We're still planning on going to Indinana, and hopefully sometime soon. I need to keep with her on it. :D

But anyways, GREAT day! And hopefully I'll post pics of the suit soon :D See ya'll later! 

Edit: Here 'tis!!
