Sticks And Stones....

Distractions...... and A Teeny Tiny Fairy Tale....

Once again, Dear Readers, I am going to claim that I have accomplished Almost nothing in my Mini Worlds this week. I kept getting distracted and could not decide which of my Many projects should be worked on first... and ended up only making Very Little progress on any of them! But it is Summer, and even though it is wet and stormy here a lot this summer, it is impossible to ignore the beauty of Nature in all its splendor. Sometimes, just the way the sun shines on the dewy grass first thing in the morning is enough to make your heart sing! And so I have decided to share with you one or two pictures of a project I have been working on in the "background" for a while. But this is just a "teaser" so I will not explain....

Except to say that even though I intended to work 

on the Windows of the Conservatory....

I did not!

But I was a little surprised to see inside....

Someone has brought in a half dozen potted fruit trees!

Perhaps they are growing them for the Park?

Who knows?

And then there were the sticks I needed to cut....

For tree trunks......

And  even tinier sticks for "paneling" in the bed alcove 

on the door to the Tree House Nursery....

Cut from matchsticks.

Each one had to be carefully fitted....

A slow process... and still not done!

Because I got Distracted....

By the Stones that needed to be glued around 

all the Tree trunk bases.

Not a quick process...

and still not done...

Because I got Distracted....

With wondering Where the Tiniest Fairy went to!

Because, with the Conservatory windows taken out 

for working on, Dear Readers,

 I thought it would be a good idea to relocate the delicate fairies 

and the Tiny Bonsai Garden to the Cloud Palace for safekeeping.

But then I noticed that the Tiniest Fairy 

was no longer where I had left him in the hyacinth pot!

Where on Earth could he be???

I checked in the kitchen....

but did not see him in there....

So I went and asked Brother Beorn if he had seen a Tiny Fairy around....

Beorn had been reading Gulliver's Travels....

And was Clearly Dreaming of his own Travels....

but he said he had not seen any Tiny Fairies recently!

So I went back to Blue and Sir Orion....

They were not paying much attention to anything but each other!

They said they did not see any fairies.

That was no help at all!

But then something caught My attention....

 

What was that on the cupcake????

 

 The little Imp is trying to steal the Heart from the Cupcake!!!

Perhaps I will have to call him the "Thief of Hearts"!

 

Well, Dear Readers, I warned you 

that almost Nothing got accomplished this week....

Except for a few sticks and stones....

and a Teeny Tiny Fairy Tale!
