Happy Birthday Mae!

I did a photoshoot of Mae last 2010 while I was pregnant but I never got to finish editing until last week. Now, I realized it's her birthday today. Hope she likes this video and I wish her a happy day specially today. =)

The Passionate Pilgrim, I.

 “When my love swears that she is made of truth”

WHEN my love swears that she is made of truth,               

I do believe her, though I know she lies,                  

That she might think me some untutor’d youth,                   

Unskilful in the world’s false forgeries.                   

Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,         5         

Although I know my years be past the best,            

I smiling credit her false-speaking tongue,               

Outfacing faults in love with love’s ill rest.              

But wherefore says my love that she is young?                    

And wherefore say not I that I am old?                     10       

O! love’s best habit is a soothing tongue,                 

And age, in love, loves not to have years told.                     

 Therefore I ’ll lie with love, and love with me,                   

 Since that our faults in love thus smother’d be.   

I love Shakespeare's sonnets. This one reminds me of how much a young person would always try to convince themselves of the only truth they would ever believe in. That the woman he loves feels the same way despite of all the lies that she could be made of. 

Ah, to love with a fire of a thousand suns.     

Not too young for tutu!

On a lighter note, my Impatient Girl does love her tutu :) I made it a year ago and it was too big for her to wear then. (Don't worry, it's a no-sew skirt :)) But now, she would put up a fight to get it off of her! Why oh why did I make these with glittered tulle?!
