Clara loves eggs! Boiled, fried, or scrambled, not a day goes by without a bite of her favorite protein. But when she heard that on Easter Sunday almost all eggs served are chocolate, she nearly lost her whiskers in excitement! If there is one thing Clara loves more than eggs, it is chocolate eggs!

Just in time for Valentines day, my Castle class last Sunday made 'sweetheart pillows'. Inspired by WWI pillows, these are made of felt, beads and pins. The perfect sentiment for someone special! Each were as different as the lovely women in my class.
Finding grace in the midwinter can be a challenge. Hearing ones muse becomes a tender proposition. Little whispers: birdsong, moonlight, spring crocus buds, dog kisses, mushroom and chardonnay saute - they delight my senses and beckon my soul to listen.
I am quietly creating these days - slow stitching - finding reverence in what my fingers can do.
(I created a new Pinterest board this morning evoking my feelings today - HERE)
Little Ruby Rae has found the perfect cozy nook to rest her weary bones. Having just spent days upon days gathering nuts for her Mouseling friends - she may just sleep through the New Year - or until the Bluebirds sing!

I've been thinking of making this one for weeks! Finally I got a chance to work on him today.
Pinocchi-mouse is of course very fond of cheese. But ask him if he finished the last bit in the cupboard and he will respond, "No, No, it wasn't me!" Is that a spoon you have Pinocchi-mouse? "No, No it's my stick-horse, who doesn't eat at all!"
Pinocchi-mouse will be at Castle In The Air, this Saturday!
As the Mouse Castle Christmas Celebrations continue at Castle In The Air, many little mice are quickly finding new homes. But no worry, new mice keep arriving. A cream clad St. Nick, with his little helper will be there to greet you on Saturday!
I had the wonderful pleasure of teaching 8 women how to make marionettes recently! The birthday girl chose a black and white theme, and most of the marionettes followed suit. Thank you Lana, and Birthday wishes for a whole year!!! More photos HERE!
Laughing with my father is as wonderful today as it was 50 years ago! I Love You Dad!!!
