All kinds of goofiness here! There are “blog parties,” which are posts about a specific topic where people participating in/enjoying the “party” can click to all the participating sites’ posts to read the party post & enjoy the fun. Then there are the Kork-Knees…and “Downton Polaroids”…and all kinds of other nuttiness. Posts in this category are what I call “digital whimsy run amok.” ;)
(Disclaimer: This is a silly and whacky adventure of digital whimsy. If you’re not a fan of goofiness, you may want to visit another time.) It’s been a mad while since we’ve tea-partied around here (let’s see…last was in 2016, and one in 2013…and 2011…and 2009…) All kinds of stuff just makes life get crazy…
(This post is for Vanessa’s annual Mad Tea Party blog hop…excessive silliness, starring the Kork-Knees, will ensue. Fair warning!) I told them not to follow. I told them it wasn’t actually a white rabbit, it was Jack Kork wearing white rabbit ears. That it was a joke. But did they listen? Ooooooh no. Off they…
It’s time! It’s time! It’s time for the annual Halloween Party hosted by A Fanciful Twist! Me and the Kork-Knees are ever so excited…the Kork-Knees have been bouncing around the house all week, clamoring to party. They’ve been waiting for the portal to open; they actually went through one a few days ago & returned…
Ok, they’re not new. These wacky beings have been around this blog for years now. But as of today, they officially have a new name: The Kork-Knees! Why? Well, as I mentioned in this post, I always pronounced their original name, Korknisse, as “cork-neeze,” and I have no idea if that’s even remotely close to…
While magic portals do open regularly, if you know how to look, there’s a special time of year when they’re opening all the time, willy-nilly, and you have to really be careful lest you fall into one unawares. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. I heard a tale once of a young girl who…
My birthday is approaching—well, it’s in the first bit of October, anyway—and I’ve bought myself a couple of presents already. Why already? Because I can! Wheeee! :D Ahem. One of the things I’ve gotten is a fabulous, gorgeous Laurel Burch “Santa Fe Felines” mug, something I’ve wanted for years (literally, years) and have no idea…
So I’ve made “Korknisse” for years and have featured the little scamps in various whimsical posts here on the blog. And I always called them “Korknisse” because, well, that’s what the pattern said they were called. In all the years I’ve had them, I never looked up the meaning of the name until recently. “Korknisse”…
Look at that, look at that…it’s time for a (mad) tea party! The little golden glitter bird said so. The Korknisse said hey, I don’t see a tea set, or anything tea-like… and POOF! A candle appeared! Perhaps to light the way to the tea? The Korknisse squealed with excitement and gathered round… Waiting with…
It’s time to get goofy! I first made these in 2011 when I first started watching Downton Abbey, so they are referencing the early episodes of series 1. Why’d I make them? Pure silliness, naturally. ;) IF POLAROIDS WERE AROUND IN 1912: PICTURES, WITH NOTES, FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF RESIDENTS OF DOWNTON ABBEY From Lady…
The day has arrived! It is MAD TEA PARTY time! Thank you to the wonderful Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist for the madness! Are you ready for the muchness fun-ness? Fair warning: It’s about to get really mad in here. The invitation the Korknisse and I received said to follow the white rabbit down Magic…
It’s Downton Sunday! It’s Downton Sunday! And, it’s the last one. *sniff, sniff* To keep myself amused & not thinking too much about this being the last Downton Sunday for awhile, I give you… Anna’s polaroids To add to my continuing collection of Downton polaroids, which so far includes Mary’s and Carson’s pictures, here are…
(More fun with Photoshop actions & Downton Abbey!) New technologies are running rampant at Downton! Electricity, cars, telephones, and now Polaroids! Carson is none to pleased. Thomas found these in Carson’s room (don’t know why he was in there; I’ve found it best not to ask about such things). I found them innocently amusing, although…
