My second post

So, sorry for the long wait, everyone!
I'm back. I have just returned from a summer vacation (it is now July 9th) and it was very fun, in case you wanted to know. Happy overdue July 4th to all Americans, and happy very overdue July 1st to all Canadians. So, let's get this post started!

This post is going to be written by Maple Cat mother, Georgina. Let's begin...

(oh, and by the way, I will use different fonts to show that different family members are writing the posts... well, not, really them, but sort of 😉)

(OK... trash that idea... there aren't a lot of fonts anyway, and they mostly look the same)

Hi, it's Georgina. Life at the 'House on the Hill' is going great, considering we just moved here from the Sylvanian Town where my husband Theodore had his very own tram business. (he was recently hired to drive the older residents of the Sylvanian Village around to get them around the place.)

 Millie was booked in a new school, and so that's good. She seems to be adapting quite well, since you all probably want to know. All of the neighbours have been so kind, they threw a party for Daisy's 1st birthday, only a week after we moved here and met them!! I was so surprised, I'd never seen anything like it. The neighbours are a family called the Teaks. They have three children, and their daughter is in Millie's 5th grade class.

 Wait! I almost forgot, since you probably don't know a lot about me, here is a list ( I love making lists) about ten of my hobbies and likes...
  1. Cooking
  2. Gardening (I used to own a flower/garden shop)
  3. Spending time with the kids
  4. Watching cooking shows
  5. Organizing rooms in the house
  6. Cleaning (well, I don't LOVE it, but it's good enough)
  7. Having a good nap
  8. Family bike rides (Daisy has a baby bike-seat)
  9. Staying at home watching the sun set from our front porch
  10. Getting a nice glass of Lemonade in the summer
So, also, although a woman never reveals her age, I am 41 years old, turning 42 this September.

SNAPPING BACK INTO EMILIE, WE WILL HAVE TO SET UP A PARTY SCENE FOR HER, AND I PROMISE I'LL TAKE SOME PICTURES!!!! 😃😃

I am getting an offer for a well paying job that I hope to accept but must find a sitter for Daisy first, as her older sister is only 10 and not able to stay at home alone yet. The job is a gardening service, so of course, I'm pretty used to that. I hope it'll help a lot of people with their gardening abilities.

My closest friend so far is Mrs. Wildwood, she is the wife of Millie's teacher (small town, don't you think?) and has been a great help since we moved. As well as the Teaks, the Wildwoods were one of the first people we met here in the Sylvanian Village.

Oh, and I also love how all of the houses here have nicknames, 'Old Oak Hollow Treehouse' 'Cloverleaf Manor' and so on... it just makes the whole place seem so much more intriguing, or original, or welcoming...

If you are wondering why I have all this time to write to you all, then I will explain that Millie is at school and Daisy is napping. Daisy never naps, and is surprising very needy for a one year old. Not that that's a bad thing, but she constantly wants to be with me no matter what. The hardest thing for us to handle so far was getting her her very own room. She also dislikes getting her diaper changed, as far as I know the only way to get her to keep still is to feed her chocolate chips. The problem with that is, she has five, and that's enough, in my opinion, but then she always seems to get another five. And then she doesn't eat what we give her--string beans, mashed carrots, peas. I mean, Millie's favourite foods as a baby were peas and peaches and broccoli and, well, everything! She was just so different from Daisy, and having my second and probably last nine years later would most predictably be easy! But no... and here, she cries again...

I guess that was a good chat, but I better go get Daisy now. That was a pretty good nap, and so I'll congratulate her for that one. She's a god baby with a good heart, but is just so hard!

Alright, I better go now, bye bye!

Poor Georgina! That Daisy sure sounds like a lot of work. But if she accepts that job offer, than yippee! I wonder which baby sitter she'll find. I wonder who we'll be hearing from, next!

Bye for now, Emilie

    Hi Emilie!
    I hope Georgina can get the gardening job. She must have a lot of experience as she used to have a flower shop in town.
    I´m afraid Daisy keeps her busy most of the time so I hope she can find a good qualified baby-sitter to take care of her younger daughter in case she is lucky to get the job.Daisy is a bit of a handful so the baby-sitter must have lots of patience to deal with her.
    Looking forward to seeing what happens in your next post!

      Thanks, Cutata! I hope she can get the job, too.
      Have a great day, Emilie

    Hi Emilie!

    Thank you for letting me know about your blog, I really enjoyed reading this first story about the Maples. :)
    Poor Georgina sounds quite overwhelmed with taking care of her baby girl. I'm sure getting that gardening job will be good for her, and little Daisy will hopefully also learn to be a bit more independent!
    They have such nice neighbours, too! Looking forward to those pictures of the party. :)
    I loved the detail that Georgina likes making lists, hehe! Nice personality trait!

    Have a great day!

      Thanks, Ayrell. Your welcome for the story and the introduction. I wrote this post to keep me going on the blog and to inspire myself to write a follow up post.
      Thanks for reading. Don't worry, if everything go's fine, there will be lots of party pictures in September!!
      Thanks again for your kind words and so have a great day,

      Emilie

Renovations in the Maple's House... PART 1!

Image
Hi everyone! I was hoping to do a post based on the Creative Crafting Challenge - Christmas Lists, but something else has been on my mind, and that is re-decorating the Maple Cat's house, and turning it into more of home. If you are wondering why, it's because I have moved into a new home, and all the furniture has been taken out and carefully arranged into bags. Now I can finally take it out and play with it again, much to my delight! Setting up new scenes is fun, ya' know! ......................................... Hope you enjoy! ......................................... Millie is quietly enjoying herself at the table, cutting up old scraps of newspaper and drawing on them, making pretty floral designs like the plants in her mother's workplace. But, nothing around Millie is as silent and peaceful as herself... "Heave ho!" The workers' joke. They are being especially kind today, not only doing reno's later but also helping to move fu...

A Christmas Prelude

Image
Hello again, fellow collectors/photographers/bloggers! Since the move is getting back to normal and we have now partially settled in, let the posts begin! But first, I would like to say a few things: I've been pretty late on the Creative Crafting challenges, missing two in a row. The first one I missed was the Gratitude challenge, due to the business of preparations for the move and packing and unpacking my things. The second one I missed--the Christmas Lists one--because I posted a different topic on my blog instead: renovations in the Maple Cat's house. So... here's something to get us into the Christmas spirit and focus a bit first on the renovations. Here goes!! Oh yes, and one last thing before we start: Thank you, everyone, for your support about my blog, your lovely comments and the encouraging things you say! With this blog and this community, not only do I have an audience but also friends--from all over the world. So thank you. You, my parents, my sister...

A Very Merry Christmas

Image
 Hi again... it's been FOREVER since I have last posted a story, but those of you who know me from the collector's forum also know that I was thinking of getting back into blogging eventually. Soooooo without further ado I will now present a short Christmas themed story for the Winter Celebrations creative challenge... with pictures, of course. It was a lonely Christmas morning for Felicia Tuxedo. She had been so busy this year with her photography career, multiple photo exhibitions and moving into her own apartment that her Christmas tree didn't dawn a single decoration. Gazing out the window she saw slushy city streets and barely any snow. Was it just her, or were the Christmas lights a little dimmer this year? She decided it was best to relax and sat down. But her thoughts kept wandering to her family and friends back in the countryside. And suddenly, as if by miracle, there was a knock on the door and her mother Natalie appeared holding a shiny present and in her best c...
