Cinderella Sofia, And Prince Charming Rebekah!

I just couldn't resist sharing these photo's with you today...

So, the other day I watched the 2015 version of Cinderella, then today I was listening to the beautiful soundtrack. I had a wonderful idea! Let's dress Sofia {age 9} and Rebekah {age 11} up as the Prince and Princess!! 

We asked our dressmaker {Nancy} and our makeup artist {Beth} to help us dress them up~

They did such a wonderful job, and we all had so much fun!!

Our dressmaker and makeup artist...

Our prince and princess...

Nancy made Sofia's dress out of some blue organza, a shiny old curtain and other bits of pretty blue she could find~  

The first dance!

We put the Cinderella song La Valse de l'Amour that they used in the movie, and our prince glided our princess through the first dance...so cute!

Because Caleb flatly refused to be Sofia's Prince Charming, we had to just use Rebekah...we have all had great experience in being princes and Lords ect, in our games,  because we've always only had girls to use! But what fun we had!

A Mini Tour Of My New Room~

 Good afternoon dear readers♥

Today I would like to show you around my new room~

This is the first time that I have my own room, and I must admit, I am enjoying having 'my own space!'

I have many plans for decorating my room, so for now it is a little humble, but soon I shall transform it! All it takes is patience♥ 

So, here is my room!

In the far right corner, where a plastic chair now stands, I picture a soft, comfy couch perhaps, with maybe a bookshelf above?!

Right now, there is no cupboard in the room, but when I do get a cupboard or chest of drawers, I shall make a little dressing table on top, and make my desk a proper desk. {{smiles}}
 

I think I might paint this little bedside table a pretty white!

Where the little bookshelf is right now (on the floor!), will be my cupboard or chest of drawers...

So! There is my little room.  I shall have such fun decorating it♥ 

 I will definitely put some pictures and posters up on the wall to make the room more cheerful!

In the meantime however, I will continue to look for ideas online and keep an eye out for any treasures I might find!♥ 

Have a blessed afternoon everyone♥

In The Month Of October❤

In our home~

Little Sofia turned nine on the 12th of October, Nancy turned 21 on the 14th of October, and my Dad had his birthday on the 25th of October! So many birthday celebrations!

In my tea~cup~

Just a little while ago, I finished a cup of delicious ceylon tea...

Books I am enjoying~

Recently I have been enjoying the beautiful books by Louisa May Alcott...her way of writing is so sweet and simple, and in her stories I find lovely characters who are 'kindred spirits', and instantly become my 'friends'❤

Music I am enjoying~

The beautiful songs by my favourite group 'Petra' are my delight!

Movies I am enjoying~

 I have been enjoying the 1985 Anne Of Green Gables movie series...

Busy creating~

My younger sister and I are busy learning how to sew...we have lessons with our Mom every Thursday, and are very grateful for her willingness to teach us! {Thank you Mom❤}

Changes~

 Some of you who follow my sister, Kelly's, blog, may be wondering why she hasn't been blogging for awhile. I thought I would mention the reason.

She is working a full time job as soux chef for a restaurant in the little town nearby,..she is enjoying herself immensely, but unfortunately has little time for blogging right now.

             Working Towards~

Buying myself the three 'What Katy Did Books' by Susan Coolidge!

Thankful for~

My Dad's job...because of Covid-19, my Dad lost his job overseas...but the Lord works everything out for our good, and he is now working online, which means he is able to stay with us at home, instead of going away to work!

Beautiful Quote For This Month~

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."

Louisa May Alcott

I hope your month has been has delightful as mine has!

Until I blog again dear readers❤
