Halloween Pendants

Every Halloween I like to offer the kids a little extra something along with their candy. I had intended to knit some little critters, but I was busy with other things and I never got started, so I decided to whip up a few pendants instead. I got a little carried away... Anyway, I promised a friend I'd post pictures, so here they are.

Glass

Fish

Hematite

Charms

I think I have about 80 altogether. I've had so much fun going through all my beads and seeing what I can do with them.

They can be pretty bad for people too.

I tried to re-watch B7 some years ago but couldn't get past the first episode. TV these days is more action=packed, I think I've been spoiled for some of my old favourites where the pacing was slower. I should try again though. I'm sure the further I got into it the more fun it would be. I have huge stacks of cult TV magazines. At one time I was subscribed to at least five, lol!

Over here we'd call that a smallholding. =)

Yass, agreed. I was always worried about one of my friends who rode her bike to work every day (rain, snow, what have you) in a busy city. I would actually like to do that here - and my city isn't very busy, and there is a bike path mostly from my home to where I work - but drivers still don't pay any attention to bikes (except me, and I'm usually cursing at the bike riders because they're going against traffic or darting into it or right in front of me).

I have not seen B7 in...a very, very long time (probably back when I first saw it on TV)? I remember very much enjoying the fanzines. I think I have at least one of the paperbacks? (Or was that a Sapphire and Steel paperback?)

The series I want to see again is Robin of Sherwood. *siiiiiigh*

I want another little farm. I doubt I'll ever have the money to do that though, unless my coworker adopts me.

As a cyclist AND a driver, I know what you mean. I'm very careful of cyclists when I'm diving, but some of them are idiots. But then again, some drivers are too. One time the same post office van pulled out of side streets right in from of me twice in less than 5 minutes. I've lost count of the times I've had to slam my brakes on, or swerve across the road to avoid being hit.

I think I used to have a couple of B7 paperbacks, but I must have got rid of them for some reason =( I do have Sapphire and Steel on DVD though, and it's still just as good as I remember. My older sister was a bigger fan of Robin of Sherwood than I was.

You never know, it could happen, maybe!

I really want a bike so I could get a trailer and haul my dogs around for long rides. I think that would be a blast! I used to take my two dogs along as passengers when I was much younger in the metal saddlebags. They loved it. I loved it. And it seems like it'd be great exercise (again).

I found the collected Sapphire & Steel dvds at a book & music exchange store. I was very excited and I got it for next to nothing! I've only seen Robin of Sherwood available once or twice here in the States.

It's great exercise, but my hips are getting bad enough that uphill is for walking, lol! Downhill is the fun part. I bet your dogs would love being taken out in a trailer.

That's so cool! I hope one day you'll find Robin of Sherwood. The different region codes for DVDs are what cause the problems. It's no good getting DVDs that you can't watch.

Merlin and I walk pretty much daily but some days we don't get very far depending on weather. I figure I could get some good pushing in by hitching a trailer to a bike and riding around with two dogs in the back.

I do, too! I really loved that series (or at least the first two seasons of it with Michael Praed as Robin). Robin Hood has been one of my heroes since I was very very little and that visual versino of Robin Hood is my ultimate favorite.

...well, that and Disney's animated "Fox as Robin Hood". Because I think that started my love for foxes.

It would give you plenty of leg and back exercise, that's for sure.

Yeah, his dark hair fit the role better than Jason Connery. The Fox made a great Robin Hood too

And I could use that back exercise. And balancing exercise. Definitely balancing exercises!

Michael was prettier too. :D Well, in my opinion at least.

Of course the Fox made a great Robin. It's kind of what foxes do, steal from the rich.

I have physio exercises for my back.

I think so too. Nothing against Jason.

Good point. Plus foxes are sneaky as Robin needed to be.

I have an inner ear condition which causes dizziness. Anything that helps me keep my balance is a Good Thing.

Jason was fine, but after Michael Praed...

Mm. Foxes are kind of special to me. What can I say?

That can't be fun.

Some people are a hard act to follow.

I was stood at my gate one summer night, just enjoying the breeze, and a fox trotted right past me, just feet away. Used to see them in the back garden too. I miss my foxes.

It's not as bad as it used to be before I was actually diagnosed and on meds.

They really, really are.

I kept hearing them near my house in Florida but never saw them.

Glad it's better than it was. =)

Foxes can be very elusive, which I suppose is what helps them stay alive. It's a real treat to see them. Some are surprisingly small, but we did have a magnificent and much larger than normal dog fox around here some years ago. Really beautiful. these days I don't even smell foxes in the garden.

It is a happier thing. Still doesn't always keep my dizziness in check but so much better than it was.

Aww. I'm sorry you don't see/smell them any more.

Anything that helps is a good thing.

So am I =(

Don't I know it. I was sick on so many levels before I went on medications for this.

I can imagine all too well.

I know how that feels only too well *sigh*

Yeah...it's something, isn't it?

Yeah, especially when you just get told you'll have to live with it.

ew, ugh. That's much more annoying than mine.

It's no fun, that's for sure. Ah well, that's life, I just try to make the best of things.

That's sometimes the only thing one can do.

Yep! And I've had plenty of practice.
