Tiptoeing Tulip

The Halloween activities have already begun and this Saturday Illusia got to visit the 'Night of the Living Zoo.' it was cold and way overcrowded but she still seemed to have fun, for the most part.

Then on Sunday we wanted to go to a haunted house but could not find one for the little kiddies in the area (but are looking to try again next week, which is a full schedule for sure!) Instead we went to the park. :)

Steps of a Sugar Plum Faerie

On Thursday the 27th of May, at 13 months and 6 days old, Illusia took her first unassisted steps!! That's right, my little pixie is walking! I did a quick (and kinda not-so-great) video to commemorate --- her cuteness makes up for my poor editing though, really! You might have to turn your volume up as the music and talking is pretty quiet. Also included for your viewing pleasure is some bonus doll kissing. 

Baby Steps from S a r a h ♥ on Vimeo.

I am currently in the process of switching over all my videos to vimeo which has better quality and youtube is driving me nuts and squishing all my vids. Urgh! video squishing bastards err.. big dummies!!

Anyone else use Vimeo or another youtube alternative? Let me know if you have any experience with a good one!

Very Faerie Birdhouse

 

After Illusia's nap, we finished decorating our birdhouse. Well, I might add another thing or two to it, but it is mostly complete. We now just have to get some hooks and it will be up and ready for our feathered friends.

I must've lost all of my paintbrushes during the move, so it kind of put a damper on the decorating. I also seemed to loose the tinkerbell stickers I was going to put on it ;(. So, I improvised with an assortment of q-tips, fingers and colored pencils dipper in paint. And I used a mini hot glue gun to glue on the little faeries. I think it could have been a lot better looking than it is, if I had found the proper painting supplies but, I still am proud for finishing it and I doubt Illusia minds my sloppy decorating.

I really hope the birdies like it!
