Tis' the Season to be Spooky...fa la la la la la la la la...

Well it's that time of the year again...you know the one...the time when folks get excited by pumpkins and things that go bump in the night...

Of course...even in the miniature world folks like to get in on the act...and it seems that this version of the AIM magazine has done the "Spooky Ookey" world justice by hosting its own Halloween special...

Now you all know that I'm not one to toot their own horn (now you know that's true...don't you?)...but that bloke on the front looks a little familiar to me...can't think why...mmm...

So...if...like me...you enjoy free things...and who doesn't?

Pop over to the Aim mag and take a peek at some of the talent out there...toiling away over those rusty ol' cauldrons...year in...year out...just to brighten up your little witchy worlds...

You can also download the Aim magazine each month for free!...what more could you ask for...well me personally...I could ask for a lot more as I'm a rather greedy goblin...but that's another story...

And while I have your spooky attention...my fellow hags at EHAG are also doing their best to put their brand of "Let's be spooky all year round" fun on the map with their monthly Emporium...even if the purse strings are a little tight at this time of the year...we can all still be "Cats looking at a Queen"...and I love window shopping...although there aren't so many windows to browse this month...it's still fun to visit...

Now...I just wanted to say a personal thank you to a very lovely lady Julia...I have just visited her blog and seen what she has done with a little friend of mine...and I am just so thrilled that she has taken the time to show her appreciation in this way...as she has only just returned from hospital...so thank you Julia!

Well folks...I suppose that I should get on with some "Arty stuff" and switch off this blasted thing...they are useful but they don't half take up your time!

See you again soon my lovelies...

My Little Faery Friend Daisy...

Sometimes...from the peripheral vision...you get fleeting glimpses of movement...
Many folks pass this off as a trick of the eyes...
Some just think that the imagination is playing tricks on them...
Some just like to lay on the dewy grass and watch the world go by before their very eyes...

It is now officially Autumn...season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...
So why are my little Fae friends still playing in the grass with no vests to keep the chills out?
I have no answer to that one...
As you can see...some of my little ones still hold fast to the notion of freedom without inhibitions...I suppose if you are a Fae then you can get away with it...unlike us giant folks the human beans.

Let me introduce you to Daisy...a pretty little thing...not at all shy...having a morning stretch in the Autumn sunshine...I don't know how she managed to find daisies still in flower though...but let's just call it Artistic License...

She said it was okay to paint her but only from the back...
I'm happy to do that though...it saves having to edit over body parts to be able to post my pictures on here...some folks you see are a little worried about seeing naked things on blogs and I might get into trouble...(although that doesn't usually stop me he he )

Daisy as you may have noticed doesn't have wings...she can fly without them...so I suppose evolution had a hand in that somewhere...much like us.

Well...I just thought that Daisy and I should wish everyone a beautiful Autumnal Equinox...that wondrous time where the world is equal and night and day are even...
If, as you take a lovely Autumnal walk... kicking through the fallen leaves...you happen to see Daisy...introduce yourself to her...she's a real sweetie...she always smells of blossomy mist...and she would be so pleased to know that you caught a glimpse of her...out of your peripheral vision...

Astronomer's Table

What is it about the stars that makes us feel the need to understand them?
Why did those people (men mostly) many centuries ago want to learn about them and plot their positions on their charts?
Why do the planets fascinate us so much...as they travel along their path around the sun?

I have no real understanding of these things...
But they still fascinate me...

And there could not be one amongst us who has not gazed out at the Bat black night sky and wondered...
Some of the things we see up there...may have expired long ago...gone out in a glorious blaze of glory...which may never have been witnessed by a human being...
Some stars...by the time we see them twinkling...are already long gone...

It makes the things down here on this small blue planet of ours seem very insignificant...
That a star so bright could be gone without being wished upon...

So...for those of you with a little magick in your souls...
If you get the chance... step out into the beautiful darkness and look upon the vastness of the night sky...
Hold up your heads and stretch out your arms as wide as you can...and wish upon the first star that you see...
And remember...it came a long way to see you...
