What is Mother owl looking at??

 She is looking at a tiny  baby

Clothed in  the softest finest wool

Placed there by an angel who needed to rest

She knew that the Mother owl would look after her

And keep her safe and warm

Until her return

Love and light  Marie

I do so love all your comments

Off to a gallery

This is what I have been working on this weekend

Three chick's in nests

Now the one thing that I am not very good at is making chickens

You may say, well, how easy can this be Marie

But they never seem to flow the way I would like them to

But the lady who ordered them loves them and that is the main thing.

Love and light  Marie

Saint Francis and the birds

The sun shone down into the forest
Its golden rays created a warm yellow glow around St Francis's halo
He loved to wander in the woods and feed the birds
He always carried some breadcrumbs in his pocket
He loved listening to their sweet bird song
It filled him with joy.

Cheers and happy wanderings, Marie

Owl's and owlets

The custom order brief said,  "Please make me two owls and four owlets"

So I sat down and made them, they took a lot of thought, time and energy

I went out into my garden this morning and photographed them

They make me smile

Love and light  Marie

Fairies are in my garden

November Giveaway

There was an icy chillness in the air

The Snow maiden walked softly over the frosty ground

She bent down and picked up an Acorn

Immediately is turned snow white in her hands

The star light glittered and sparkled on its little cap

She would protect it, until Spring came 

Then plant it deep within Mother Earth

This Giveaway is open to all global visitors

And will be drawn on 10th November

Love and light  Marie

Autumn Baskets for the fair

Mystery solved

The mystery is solved

The lovely lady who gave me the Angel book just contacted me

Here it is open on my bookshelf

At the page "Peace and Harmony"

"Side by side and on through time

Go Peace and harmony

And trust me when you find the one

There will the other be".

Love and light  Marie

My rural landscape

When I go for my early morning walk everyday at 5.45 with my neighbor

This is the view over the hills
