Lanterns Shining Light

When I switched these little lantern lights on for the first time last week

I thought they looked real cool

They reminded me of  these Lantern Maidens that I had made

Walking with Mother Nature

Adeane's Native bush reserve is a 10 minute drive from my country home

It is always a delight to walk there

And one is inspired to create

Memories

I took this photo yesterday

We put this swing up 20 years ago for our children

The wooden seat  is off an old oak barrel

We have never had to replace it

When my Grandson visits I hold him and we swing together

Fairy magic

 Sometimes I assemble  things together

In this art creation

I found an Art Fairy Doll

A wicker frame

Handmade wool felt and white wool

I personally made none of it, just assembled it

I am not sure why I do this

But I enjoyed it

What do you think?

Dusk was falling

The Snowy owl

A photo for my Northern Hemispere friends

Love and light  Marie

I heard a noise last night

I heard a noise last night in my loft

I climbed up and there nestled under my wooden shutters 

Was a Mother Owl with her baby

I shooed them outside

And in the morning 

Found them sitting on a branch in my orchard

The Big OE

My darling daughter  will soon be 21

Most young New Zealanders travel overseas

My daughter is about to start her big OE (Overseas Experience)

I remember when I was 21 and travelled to Australia to work

Then saved and went to Europe etc

Upon returning home to New Zealand 2 years later

The feeling of love for my Country became so much stronger

I did miss the "Green green grass of home"

Love and light  Marie

My Owl Family

People do love my owls, I get a lot of comments about them

So I have decided to list the whole Owl Family on Etsy

They will be made to order

Upon Awakening

Upon awakening I must have been dreaming BLUE

Ideas were forming in my head

A Maiden or princess with blue hair in which blue jewels were woven

Wearing a blue dress, olden times, long caped sleeves

Mounted in a circle or free standing

I do not often work with blue wool

I have no idea how it will turn out

I am in just as much anticipation as you as to the end result

I am away now to my work table

With the summer sun shining through the window and birds singing

Love and light  Marie

And here she is

For everyone that just LOVE'S  Blue

Five Minutes Ago

I walked down the side of my home and ran my hands along the top of my small lavender hedge

The smell was heavenly, so I thought I would share that with you all

Love and light  Marie

Original Fairy Art

Love and light Marie

Dual power

The wise men discussed where best to send their light

Where was it needed most in the world

They decided the whole world needed it

So they shot the light above the tallest trees

And  circled the Earth with ribbons of light

People who were having troubles felt eased

Babies who were crying stopped

People who were frowning smiled

The power of light is a great power

It shines into your heart and warms your soul

Love and much light  Marie

Purity

When I was making this I was thinking about purity

Love and light  Marie

Doll making by my friend

My dear friend Jeune made these dolls

Cheers  Marie

Swinging under a rainbow

While I was making this today I was thinking of the saying

"I have decided to be happy, because it is good for my health"

I think I will take this into the New Year and be Happy

And not worry to much about the things that upset me.

Love and light  Marie

A pre loved little sweetheart

I stopped at a garage/yard sale and while sorting through a box of toys

I spotted this wee girl, all alone face down and squished in a corner

I brought her home, cleaned her up,  gave her a bright red woolen cloak

And a basket, so she could visit her Grandmother who would take care of her

Love and light  Marie
