absinthe - The muse of artists and writers in the late 1800's, the Green Fairy was banned in US for its ingredient of wormwood and has now been made available again with a different variety of said ingredient as Absente.  It is my guilty pleasure on rare occasions.

celtic mythology - A strong celtic heritage leads me to study and learn more about the celtic history, legend and myths (or what others may consider myths.

dracula - The first vampire once known as Vlad the Impaler, aka Prince Vladimir III of Wallachia -- Lord Dracula to others.  His story is told in the writings of Bram Stoker.

E nomine - see above and include:  Vater Unser and Das Omen or often heard being sung by me at random times.

romani - the proper name of the people commonly referred to as gypsies.  Their heritage and Lore are long and known and one I am proud to have connections to through ancestors.  Also known as travellers in the UK

scottish history - History of our families and their homeland.. Clan Cochran, Clan Cameron.

totem animals - My totem is the dragon...  A brilliant Amber colored gold.   Guardian, Guide, Spirit totem.

... Even after going to Altus the day before, Joe and I headed to Sweet Bay Coffee House for an few hours of Celtic Music courtesy of Cold Water dog


The above is them playing The Butterfly. 

Some pics from the afternoon.

 

While the music ended about 4:30 - 5ish, we remained and kicked back till about 6:30 when we headed out to see Sweeney Todd which was awesome!

Got some thrift shopping done with some great finds.  Jeans hubby needed, two nightgowns for NOLA in house unity colors no less!

and an interesting celtic looking wood plaque and a St Francis for my garden when I get one!


Friday I attempted to get my sewing machine fixed but was told the price would be way more than worth it.  So guess I'll consider looking for another one instead.  However I did manage to get some craft supplies I needed to finish projects and some yarn in a "lighter shade of pink than I used for Jenn's Molly"  to make yet another Molly for  quietish!


So will be starting on that in the upcoming weeks.

Spent the weekend crafting and as a result there is another version of "300" below!



Even Joe got crafty and so I present to you -- from the Sorceror's Stone....the flying keys!


In the meantime, started a shawl in fun yarn I found at Dollar Tree for the conference. and here's progress so far:


That's the first ball of yarn so far and the one to the side above is a full ball to give you some idea how far I seem to be getting out of one ball of it. 

Quite a good weekend!

I took the "what's your love token?" quiz on gURL.com
		Your love token is... a spoon Your love token is the spoon. But what's a spoon got to do with love? If you're a Welsh sailor, plenty. Young men would spend their time aboard ships carving these elaborate constructions from a single piece of wood. The more intricate the spoon, the longer the voyage. Different symbols embedded within the carving speak to a secret language between two lovers: flowers for affection, diamonds for wealth and good fortune, an anchor for a guy who's eager to settle down. You may or may not be in a long-distance relationship, but like the Welsh sailors and their sweethearts, you believe in patience and loyalty. You're probably less into short term flings and more into finding the right person. Patient and down-to-earth, you might wait forever for your crush to notice you and steadily work to win their heart. It goes the opposite way too. No fly-by-night wooing here. If you're looking for a similar love token for your honey, you're in luck. You can still find love spoons at craft festivals or you can buy a how-to book, get a hunk of wood and carve your own. If you're looking for something a little less time consuming, why not swipe some silverware from the school cafeteria and make matching spoon bracelets for you and your beau? Read more... What's your love token?

About 80 miles from here is the nicest, most authentic UK Style pub ever -- "Kelt's" Since hubby had to work for Halloween/Samhain, we took off and spent the Sunday before at Kelt's for Brunch. Delicious food. Wonderful celtic harpist throughout the afternoon. It could not have been better
