Beyond the Violet Mist

Me, Myself, Vivi, Abi and I

In digital camera, we had fun with ourselves. I decided that to make my photos unique I would use the bushes to give my picture dimension, to give me places to hide. I peek out of the bushes at myself. The two extra names in the title are my blog name, Vivi, and Abi, a pseudonym I use. Beyond the violet mist, I multiply.

I commented on Tori's

Kitty Cat of the Month

We all know that kittens are adorable, but do you know something else cute? Baby chicks. This year, my grandma is raising chickens, and as such there is currently an old water tank in her garage filled with eleven fluffy little chicks. Well, they're starting to get their feathers in now, actually, but they're still really cute. Their names include En (Norwegian for one), the first hatched, Francis (I was trying to think of good gender neutral names since we don't know what they are yet), Ash, Smaug (my cousins wanted to do LotR/Hobbit names), Pippin (it took a long time to hatch and my mom was like "it's still a-pippin at that shell!" and so we called it Pippin), and various others (it's hard to keep them all straight! Especially the yellow ones). So, to celebrate the cuteness, this month's kitty of the month is snuggling a baby chicky rather like my grandma's :)

Monthly (or Yearly) 'Something Awesome'

If you'll forgive this bit of self promotion, I was really quite proud of my trunk or treat this Halloween and so I decided to put it up here. I made Penguin's Iceberg Lounge specifically from Gotham, complete with frozen iceberg Ed (to the right of myself). Almost no one got what it was, and no one at all got my Gotham references, so now I’m sharing it with the internet. Click through on the picture to see my tumblr post with more pictures; I also plan to share more specific breakdowns of my trunk decor features later on, so stay tuned.

Bible Quotes of the Year Most Likely

1 John 4: "7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

Deuteronomy 22: “1 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. 3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.” (From my notes in the margin: Don’t pretend you don’t see when others are hurting. Do what you can to help them.)

Luke 1: "37 For with God nothing shall be impossible."

Psalm 139: "2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
