Spring cleaning, Satsuki and Totoro
By Carolyn Gibson Tue, Mar 31, 2009
I don't like housework at all but when the Spring arrives I always get the urge to sort through and tidy up our ever bulging cupboards and drawers.

Moonflowers Garden
Teasle and Peach two Siamese cats, live with Carolyn and her husband Tony in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Carolyn sews and does crafting and loves her books.
"When we were small we read about the Magic Wishing Chair and The Magic Faraway Tree. Bedtime stories took us to Moominland, Moonacre, and Down the Bright Stream. I wished I was Mary Poppins, and listened to the tale of Sleeping Beauty.
I learned my wild flowers and trees with the Flower Fairies. Soon I found Middle Earth, saw The Dark Crystal, embraced Elfquest and went to Hogwarts : )
Now my ball jointed dolls are the ideal blank canvas to create 3D characters of my own. Each outfit I create has its own little story to tell.
To live in the magic is just the way I am. When I see a toadstool at the edge of the wood I see a pixie house. To me a flower makes the perfect hat for an elf or a bright fern leaf is actually a fine umbrella. A white feather floating down is the sign of an angel, the sun shining through a crystal reveals fairies dancing around the room.
It's everywhere, that magic" ^_^
