Greetings everyone! I'm back..I've been trying since last March to get back here, but everytime I tryed I received an error message and was kicked off?? It was making me crazzzzy. I've missed you all, missed taking a sharing with you...please write and catch me up :)
I've been very busy with my shop www.fairyhollowgiftshop.com I now make Baby Shower and Wedding Shower Favors...thats keeping me on my toes, not complaining though..its paying the bills! I've been able to cut back to 3 days a week on my regular job, and hopefully soon I will be home full time.
Mostly I have just been being a Happy Grandma. My Sweet Baby Stella is doing Great! You would never know she was so ill when she was born. I've attached a couple of photos so you can see for yourself what a big girl she has become.
I'll write more later...have orders to fill. Im so glad I was able to write, I was afraid you all would think I just fell off the edge of the earth *grin*
Through fairy rings you can connect and work with the energy of elves and fairies. Also called fairy circles, dancing elves, and lightning strike, a traditional fairy ring appears as a circle of tall grass within a ring of toadstools, surrounded by a ring of darker earth or dark stones. These favorite dancing places of the fairies, where music and merry revelry lure mortals into fairyland on full moons, can bring good or bad luch, healing or illness, pleasant dreams or nightmares. It all depends on your intention.
The reason for making your own fairy ring is to attract helpful elves and fairies. When you craft your own fairy ring for ritual, meditation, or prayers, your create a vortex of light. You have complete control over this sacred space so it;s safe, unlike fairy rings in nature which are often extremely dangerous. This personally crafted fairy ring is one in which you stand, sit, relax, or even sleep. It is akin to a stargate, a portal to the Otherworld of fairyland.
I thought since it was springtime, I would show you how to create a Fairy Flower Ring.
Follow these steps to create a fairy flower ring
1. Mark out the fairy flower ring in an area that gets full sun. The ring can be any size you like, depending on the number of bulbs (this can also be done with plants or seeds)you plant. Plant the bulbs in autumn. Use a bulb-planting trowel to dig small holes at the proper depth around the edge of the ring. Plant a daffodial bulb in each hole,. following the directions provided on the package, add a bit of bone meal, and fill planted holes with potting soil. Water as needed.
2. Walk three times clockwise or sunwise around the planted fairy flower ring, and sing a happy song or hum a favorite uplifing tune aloud. Dedicate your fairy flower ring to the helpful fairies, including the flower fairies and woodland elves.
3. In early spring, the bulbs will transform into beautiful yellow and white blooms in a perfectly natural fairy ring. You can lay, site, stand, sing, dance, paint, sculpt, make wishes, dream or meditate in your golden fairy flower ring, Every year the bulbs will mulitiply and your fairy flower ring will be larger, thicker, and slightly different.
It's now to late in the season to plant daffodial bulbs, but there are other nice perennials you can plant..such as Geraniums (they flower all summer and most of winter) or what ever your favorite perennial is that you know does well in your area. Then when Autumn comes around you can plant your border of daffodial bulbs around your existing plants...it will be beautiful next spring!
Hi everyone..just wanted to show you who you have been praying for. Baby Stella is doing great! Her operation was on Tuesday, and they were able to repair all that was wrong with no problems. There was only a tear in her diaphragm (they had thought it was a hole, which would have required a gortex patch) and they were able to stitch it up..they removed the liver from her right lung with no problem. Her lung on the right side is smaller than the left, as it wasn't able to completely develop..but its fine, she still has plenty.
Thank you all so much for your prayers..I know they helped Stella get though all of this. She is now breathing on her own, and is getting stronger every day!
Just wanted to let you all know that my little baby Stella was born on thursday Feb 28th at 10:27 am. There were no complications and she was breathing on her own, even let out a little cry. The team of doctors were standing by and immediately took her (that was sad) they paralyzed her as they didn't want her to breath on her own untill they knew what they were dealing with. Many tests have been done, and they are almost sure its her diaphragm. It seems it either was never developed on the right side, or it came apart (on the right side) and was pushed way over to the right of the chest. Because of this the liver came up and into the lung. This is fixable with either a cows diaphragm or a material called Gortex, which they can construct a new diaphragm out of. Its all pretty overwhelming, but were all hanging in there. They (the surgens) will be doing exploritory surgery on Stella Monday (tomorrow) to see if indeed this is the problem..and fix it.
Sarah is doing good, staying as strong as she can..I am so proud of her, she did great considering it was a long hard labor, 2 1/2 days!
I know all will work out, and stella will be fine through this operation...but please say an extra prayer for her on Monday March 3rd.

Hi Everyone
Just a quick update on Baby Stella, as we are about to leave for SanFrancisco. Today is the day that they are inducing Sarah, and hopefully it wont take to long (they say it could take up to 3 days) to deliver Baby Stella. This is 2 weeks before her due date, but they don't want to take a chance of her going into labor up here where we live, its a 3 1/2 hour drive to SF. Please keep us (Sarah, Stella, Steve,(steve is sarahs husband), and myself) in your prayers. Thank you all so much for all your emails and prayers...they are all very important.
