In it not an uncommon occurrence to see wee forest mice from the village of "Rodanta" helping out with the other forest creatures. Often the Gnomes of the forest ask them to help out. This wee mouse is off to help a squirrel who needed some berries for a cold he has been suffering with. She mashes the berries with her wee feet (hence the berry colored shoes), added just a touch of honey, a pinch of her magical powders and made it into a thick paste for the squirrel. If the squirrel is too sick to open his mouth for the paste she tickles his chin and it opens just enough for the mouse to wipe some berry paste on his tongue. "Berrianna" loves to carry the berry paste in her favorite owl bag as the owls of the forest protect her. After she has treated the sick squirrel she stays with him to be sure he is better and then returns home to enjoy a berry pie with her family. There are many tasks the wee mice of the village tend to and "Berrianna" is one of the kindest of them all.

Homer our pug dog
Our pug Homer was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. He is doing ok for now. My niece Amy and her artist boyfriend Rob came to visit and Rob painted Homer from a photo he had! It was quite a surprise, our Homer is 11 now. We adore the painting and our dear Amy and Rob! Just click on the photo to enlarge.

Mother-in-law Pin Cushion Art Doll (SOLD)
OK she means well right? And you don't mind at all when she arrives at your home unannounced to see "her" son. She thought she heard a sniffle in his voice when she called him and had to come check on him. Before you know it she is making his favorite meatloaf and has noticed your messy cupboards while rummaging to find the spices. Oh yes, dear old mother-in-law, no one quite like her. Hope you enjoy her!

Florence Mousingale 3" Needle Felted Mouse (SOLD) My eBay ID is: barby303
The magnificent owl was created for me by Helen Priem!Here is the story below.
Ever since the wee Saw Whet owl was born he dreamed of protecting the mice in the village of "Rodanta." His Mama said he was too young and small....
But this did not stop him and one day he flew from the nest... he soared through snowstorms high over the mountains and rivers below.... searching for the wee village of "Rodanta".....
Kerplunk! Oh no, the wee owl was caught in a wind storm on his flight! He lay alone and frightened, but then he heard a rustle....
Uff.... ugh......push....
And before you know it a wee mouse had helped him to his feet!
But the sad owl told the mouse he could no longer fly....
The wee mouse scurried off quickly and returned with a tiny jeweled bag with some magic powder inside....
Poof! She blew some of the powder in the owl's face..... Ah choo! The owl sneezed!
Now the mouse pleaded with the tiny owl to say "I can fly, I can fly" over and over again.....
And before you knew it the tiny owl took flight!
Now I suppose you wonder how such a small owl could protect the mice of "Rodanta?"
Well, he has, and he is the fiercest protector of them all..... for you see mighty things come in small packages!

Flying over the forest one day, the crow heard some squeaks..
So he decided to land nearby to take a quick peek....

The crow loved the mice in their cute seed pod beds....
And each had a scarf wrapped around their tiny soft heads...
For who could ignore such wee little ones....
Who had pink in their cheeks from the morning sun....
The crow protected them with all his might and this gave the wee mice great delight!

There is a legend that deep in the forest tiny wee mice lay.....
Waiting for someone... so they say...

Sound asleep with dreams in their heads...
The creatures of the forest tend to the wee babes....
Until they find a loving home, soon one day....
So remember, if you hear a wee little cry.... you can be sure a mouse in a pod is nearby.
