ONE WORLD ONE HEART ADVENTURES OF FLORIDA FAERIES

Just under the great National Forest of Ocala and above the Parks and the City Beautiful, Orlando is a tranquil place called Central Florida. Smack in the middle of the state time stands still!
Thousands of fresh water lakes surrounded by groves of orange trees, tall oaks dressed in lacy moss, where beneath lie monstrous alligators and Great Blue Heron fill the air.

On this particularly sunny crisp day, I set off to visit some of my local friends. I stopped to share an orange with Shortie and Ute, little field trolls.
Than onto the lake front where I waved at a pair of beautiful Merfaeries with green dragon fly wings, singing lulla-byes to the restless alligators.

I walked through the orange grove and came across three little country faeries collecting acorns in their full skirted pinafores.

I stopped to chat, I told them of the One World One Heart event, where I will get to meet new friends from all over the world.
The faeries were very interested in all the adventures I spoke of, they so wanted to travel to new places. I suggested they pose for me and I took some pictures of these three lovely faeries.

THE GIVE-AWAY IS "THREE COUNTRY FAERIES"



So my blog is open to everyone who visits, leave a comment and a e-mail and FEB 12th, I'll pull three names out of my PETER PAN HAT and send three winners one of these country cuties, for a grand new life and fabulous adventures!

Thanks for stopping bye and checking out Central Florida Life

FAERIES AND MORE FAERIES

I never left my studio this past season, but my life is pretty easy these days, one child away at school out of state, young people have such busy lives, Oh, I remember that! It is nice just to enjoy the days at this slow rate. So I make lots of dolls, lately faeries, I just don't feel the mermaids until the weather gets hot again. I know the weather up north has been cold, but for us in Central Florida it is nice to put on a sweater once in awhile.
So because it has been cold,
The Big Blue Fae, Lola and Leila shook frosty crystals on my studio windows the other morning!

The yard was full of red breasted Robins, large flocks passing through on their way South to Miami, because that is where the party is!
Spring will be here soon enough, so here are a few colorful little Garden Tenders to help brighten up your day!

I will be posting my give away for the One World One Heart Event on Jan. 19th
So check it out!

NEW YEAR AND A CLEAN PIECE OF PAPER TO DRAW ON!






I never make New Year resolutions, not that I couldn't keep them, I just feel like a New Year is like a piece of fresh white paper to draw on. What will I draw? Sew?

I have so many ideas, for me it is trying to find time for all them in a short New Year.



I started working on new dolls over Christmas, getting ready for Valentines Day, I love holidays! Here is a peek of my new Elf Girls, Sugar and Spice.



I love making little spicie devil elf's, handing one of these little cuties to a friend, because the devil made me do it!


Or maybe you are a sugary sweetie!



I'll be posting a collection of 8 Jan. 10th on my Etsy Shop, so stop by have a laugh, smirk a smile!
