The Holiday Dash...

As sparkles glitter in the cold air with the crisp scent of Magic just slightly tickling her nose, Meen knows that it is almost that time again. This is her favorite month of each year and she does love going all out to deck the halls. Well, maybe not her halls, but the Shadow King does love seeing the finery around the palace too. Normally Meen took her time decorating, but not this year. She was in a rush. The little Pyksee was excited and wanted to head on over to Granny Flare's cottage to find out more about this new Pee-C Granny just received. The Twitter Birds have been chirping all day long about this new magic and it sounded like a lot of fun!

While Meen was hopping around the palace, Griselda was digging through the books in her library at the mansion. The colorful glo-bug lights and decorated tree certainly were putting her in the mood to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book. What better place to read the stories of old and enjoy a nice cup of tea?

She too had heard of this wonderful magical toy that Parsley and Granny Flare were playing with. Maybe she would drop by and check it out herself later, but first that cup of tea.

As the Dowager continued looking through some of her books, out dropped a letter from an old friend that lived in a magical place called the North Pole. Now Griselda hadn't been able to stay in touch as much as she liked because the Twitter Birds didn't really like flying that north if they didn't have too. Plus the Mushroom Line wasn't reliable for popping up when the ground was covered in snow and ice. Somehow, they always seemed to get lost and always headed for warmer climates.

"Maybe there was something to this zooming stuff that the others were gossiping about," she thought. Griselda gathered up her letter from Mrs. Claus with the Coffee Cake Muffin Recipe and decided that a visit to Parsley just might be the thing to do. "Nothing like reaching out to friends far and near... or was that dear (*smiling*) for the holidays".

Cooking with a PEE - C!

"Yep! The holidays are going to be soon here so I had better get busy with my cooking," thought Granny Flare. There is nothing better that this special little house Brownie enjoyed more than cooking for the holidays - other than maybe cooking with friends. But this year was different and Granny couldn't get together like she would have in the past. "I wish the gang and I were doing this together. There must be someway that could happen," she grumbled to herself.

That is when a message was delivered by a Bee G. It was Bee Glad who had showed up with a message from Parsley. Granny listened with interest as how the little Bee G explained that Parsley had found a new "Outie" tool called a PEE-C that was faster than the Mushroom Line and almost like opening a magical portal. Parsley was going to send one over today as she picked up a few for her friends. Now this was interesting!!!

As Granny continued to listen she found that when her PEE-C arrived, she was going to need to connect to something called a Zoom. There she would find a portal where she could cook and talk with Parsley just like she was in her kitchen.

After the PEE-C arrived Granny was glad she had listened to the instructions that Bee Glad had given her as she was soon connecting to this Zoom portal. Before you could say "Twitter Bird", Parsley was talking to Granny just like magic.

They were both so excited that they had this new toy to play with that they almost forgot that they had things to bake. That was until Sprout walked into Parsley's kitchen asking what was for dinner.

So, as Granny and Parsley dive into their cook books and herbs, let me share a recipe or two from them for this holiday season.

Spite 3.0

I hadn't wanted to show Spite until I was sure she was going to stick around this time. It might seem like magic that here I showed her off after just starting to sculpt her last week and now she is off to be put into a mold.

But actually this is the third time I have started her and yes, she would laugh at me and then suddenly disappear. After all, often I start only with an inspiration and wait for what character I am working on to show up.

I start a character and then struggle with them as sometimes something doesn't seem right. The clay starts drying out or for whatever reason, the character alludes me. I only know that there is a lesson within each of my sculpted pieces and it is for me to discover.

Patience is definitely one of my requirements mixed in with a whole lot of curiosity. Did I say it takes up to three months to make a doll? Actually, at times when I am challenging myself to create something new, it can even take longer. Spite is one of these.

As Spite shared her story with me and I discovered what makes her laugh, she finally revealed more of herself. I would tell myself if I learned this one thing - like how to balance the head or find the right depth of clay to work with, then everything would fall into place. But really... did it have to take this long for me to pick up what I needed to know? Or by having to start a head over and over again. Once the head is destroyed, I can never reproduce it exactly the same again. It always comes in slightly different. That is the uniqueness of a one-of-a-kind doll.

My lesson? I know that "in Spite" of all the challenges and lessons I have learned with the Fae teaching me how to sculpt, the greatest lesson is to keep my sense of humor. To be willing to laugh and look for the lighter side of life. After all, that is the main job of a fairy is to teach us to play with our inner child.
