Winter wonderland


My home in winter time
Heavy frosts lay on the ground most mornings
Winter crops are in, leeks, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower
I am warm and snug inside, warmed by firelight
Busy creating, with warm soft wool

Love and light Marie

Fairy tales


Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs



Little Red Riding Hood

Jack and the Beanstalk



Oh how I love fairy tales

They are a magical part of growing up
Stories handed down from generation to generation
Timeless stories, loaded with drama and excitement
Always ending in good triumphing over bad
My favorite haunt is old worldly bookshops and market fairs
I find lovely old fashioned children' s books and get inspired
By the beautiful illustrations.
Here are a few fairy tale creation's

King Winter has come to New Zealand


Winter has come to New Zealand
King Winter is warm and snug in his long blue coat
Snow lies all around
It covers the trees and ground
If you look , you can find
Enchanted snow acorns
Their acorn caps covered with sparkling starlight
To light your way through the darker winter days.

Love and light Marie

This was a custom order

Family love


We come into this world with a Mother and a Father
We become a family
Sometimes on our journey we drift apart from our partner
Sometimes we stay as a family together
But no matter what the circumstances are at the present
We, as Mothers, remember so dearly the birth of our children
The love that we felt when we held them in our arms
This is a circle, uniting picture of love

Love and light Marie

Down the end of my road

Down the end of my road are hills, valleys , and sheep, lots of sheep


With all these sheep there is lots of wool, wool that I can turn into Enchanted Rainbow Fairies
