Came across this video and showed it to my granddaughter, who's 4 1/2 years old. She saw a few flying insects and got back with me saying, that lady is so lucky to have fairies in her garden. They're so fast your eyes have to be quick. She tells everyone by way of her great grandma that if you see butterflies and dragonflies, fairies will be near, flying alongside or riding the dragonflies backs. She calls the garden spiders the guardians of the gardens.
Well you can tell her from me that there are definitely fairies here. My fabric raven came down with a message for one of the garden inhabitants. I don't know who yet as I haven't made them yet... but a story is there to be told! Also... I love to see the patterns on the big spiders...
Thank you for sharing your world, Marion. This was a beautiful video with all the things in it that make me happy and I learned a new method of making rock buns 😊
I loved watching this as I was sewing at my machine. We have been so dreary here, seeing the sun and hearing the birds gave me the hope of warmer days to come. Thank you, Marion.
As you can probably tell, I'm going back through your older videos because I don't want to miss any of your gems, tips, tricks and recipes. I now have Marion's Rock Buns as part of my recipe collection and they will be made tomorrow (Sunday) as our weekend treat ❤
you live a blessed life, in a world full of color, texture, birds and flowers. Its like you are exactly where you were meant to be a living a full life because you are tapping into all the gifts and talents your soul brought into this world to explore and discover how to be creative and we are all benefiting from it. Thank you so much!
I really appreciate your message. Thank you so much. I just don't need much other than to keep creating the things I want to do in the best way I can ... 💐🧵🪡🌿
You can actually freeze the butter to shred it fast and the room temp will warm it up and works great too. But I will also try your method of rolling it in the flour, that is a great trick!
He has such a beautiful way with words.. Another favourite from him is this one www.goodreads.com/quotes/8877388-to-know-the-dark-to-go-in-the-dark-with
My 8 year old granddaughter is experimenting with needlework and after I found your videos, I hope to be able to introduce her to your ideas and open up a new world of creative ideas for her to try.
Hello Marion, with greetings from Ottawa, Canada. I have only recently come across you and your world. Loved this wander through your garden along with everything else in the video. I have started your 2024 stitch along and am looking forward to that as well as catching up on your past videos:)
I am going to try the flower printing and your rock buns! I’ve never had them before. I saved the video so I can find it easily. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden. The birds signing were the cherry on top!
I'm happy you enjoyed it Gail. I was still trying to learn how to make the videos, so the earlier ones are sometimes a bit long as I didn't know how to edit them properly... The flower pounding is a great thing to try. I've used some of the prints in my flower book 😊
Oh Marion, I love this video so much. You are so knowledgeable and friendly. I love the song of the blackbird when you are out in your beautiful garden. Then you said your favourite poem was, The Peace of Wild things, and that is mine too. Thank you for adding to the lovely things in the world.
The first poem I found of his was To Know The Dark. I thought it was so lovely that I looked for more and now have a couple of his books. The Peace of Wild Things is just so beautiful!
That raven you're making here is magnificent. What you can do with a few bits of fabric and some stray threads is nothing short of amazing. Such beautiful beautiful work .
Thanks Kathryn. It seems so long ago now. My poor garden is in an even worse state than it was then I'm afraid. I really struggled to get motivated with it after Michael passed away. Even though I did all the gardening anyway... I think this year might just be the year to get it back to ship shape hopefully. That reminds me though... I'll have to make some rock buns! :)
That's the lovely thing about gardens - there's always next year 😉 I remember making rock buns at school but I think mine came out actually like rocks rather than lovely and fluffy like yours. 😂 Though my baking has improved since then. ❤️
Your videos are fantastic Marion. I’ve learned so much from you. You have so many brilliant skills. I love your bird book & flower book. Hadn’t heard of flower pounding before. What lovely results
The bird is so real looking , you do such wonderful work, the flower pressing was fun. I love to here the birds singing and the cows talking together. Take care 😊 ❤ Linda W.
I love to see your every day life (gardening, baking, tea time etc). I appreciate that you are able to make beautiful items, without spending much money.
Thank you. I always try to be as thrifty as possible whilst still enjoying my sewing and crafting. It would be so easy to spend a huge amount because there's so many beautiful things you can buy now, but I like re-purposing where I can.
Thanks for sharing your day and your beautiful garden it all looks so tranquil ❤ It was interesting seeing your flower prints I might give it a try in the summer time…it’s winter solstice her in New Zealand so the flowers are a bit few and far between at the moment 😊 I’ve never tried rock buns they certainly look delicious and your Raven 🐦⬛ is stunning. What a talented lady you are.
Thanks a lot Tracey. Rock buns are delicious. A proper old-fashioned little cake! The raven is coming along nicely too. His tail is finished now. I hope you do give the flower pounding a try. It's amazing to see the beautiful print emerging. And even the failures provide pretty little snippets of colour to be used somewhere.
You had a busy day, thank you for sharing it with us. The blackbird was making himself heard in your idyllic enclosed garden, no doubt wondering what that other black bird was doing there. The flower pounding was such a revelation, you are a lady of many talents. Hope you enjoyed your Solstice day.
Marion! I am so excited! We have a ton of Mulberries on the tree we planted 5 years ago. It is loaded! Already made mulberry syrup and jam. 😋 NOW, I want to see if some of that beautiful fruit can be used for flower pounding. The leaves are large and green and the fruit is deep purple. 😊
Oh I'm so jealous! If I had a huge garden the first thing I'd plant would be a mulberry tree...💕 I have a story of eating them in Buckingham palace gardens.... scrumptious!!...☺️
Oh my word, your garden is lovely. If that were here where I live ( southern United States) I would never wander through there without a really good set of snake boots on lol. I’m jealous seeing everyone’s gardens that are full and thick like this without a worry of being snake bitten. So I live vicariously though you all. You had a nice day, busy, but nice.
I can't even imagine having to watch out for snakes in the garden! Of course you will have lovely warm weather there. We've got rain, rain and more rain with a bit of coldness thrown in at the moment. Plus it's getting dark at around 4.30pm too...
I live in Australia, so our weather is just becoming nice, I will be taking my stitching outside while its nice, couldnt sit outside in summer its too hot. @@marionsworld24
Such a beautiful relaxing video. Loved how you used flowers and leaves to print fabric! I bet it is fabulous with embroidery! So excited to give this a flower pounding try! 😂
Thank you for sharing your day with us 😊 I lost a wonderful friend this year who was also a keen cook. My thoughts turned to her as I watched you baking.❤ Thanks so much for sharing your favourite poem. 🙏
Wow! The flower prints are gorgeous, your garden is magical, and bird magnificent! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful things. You are amazingly talented and a great teacher. I'm loving your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your world! 💕
I felt like I was there in your garden with you- it was lovely!! Thank you for sharing your day- loved the flower pounding and your raven is fantastic- it is so fascinating to see what you turn up out of some great charity shop finds and your imagination! You have an eye for spotting the materials and the vision to shape the bird ,topped off with the skill sets to fashion it all into a beautiful piece of art! Well done you!!! You weren’t kidding when you said you have lots of ideas! Thank you for taking the time to share with us- it’s a joy!
My goodness...thank you so much for your compliments! I think I've always just had to make do, so my first thought on finding something is 'What can I make with that!"😅
A beautiful poem & a beautiful day spent in the garden. Thank you for sharing as the summer solstice is almost upon us again and I think I'll smash flowers this year. Blessings!
Summer solstice is such a beautiful time of year. I love your garden. It looks like a magical fairy garden. Your raven is so beautiful. Your imagination is so amazing. So lovely spending this time with you. I believe if you lived close to me we would be grand friends. Thank you so much for being you and starting up your youtube channel
Loving the moths, really getting my inspiration going. I love catching up with you every Wednesday and Sunday, just like popping in to have a nice cuppa and a chat with an old friend. Best wishes from Jaz Australia.
Hi Marion just found your podcasts, they are so relaxing and calming, I could watch and listen to you all day. Thank you for sharing your world with me, I feel calmer and inspired by the things you have so kindly showed us. I am so glad I have found you, please keep doing what you are doing xxx Kim xxx
Your garden is so wild and wooly...you must have wonderfully rich soil. I really enjoyed you showing us how to make your spoon dropped scones. Ive just learned how to make them. I will try the grated butter idea, so much faster.
We live in central California, it's almost impossible to have a beautiful garden with water rationing. The Orange trees and walnut trees get the most of the water. Thank you for sharing your garden, I relish it so much. The picture you see on the side is my great grandson.

How clever and sweet your granddaughter is. Tell her I think I saw a fairy near the little stream. 💗
What a sweet thoughts from your granddaughter
You just don't realize how much of a wonderful effect you have on people, and I'm very, very ,very PROUD to be one of them 😊
Thanks Donna for those kind words. I appreciate it thank you. :)
Thank you for sharing your world, Marion. This was a beautiful video with all the things in it that make me happy and I learned a new method of making rock buns 😊
Those rock buns are super scrumptious!
Your world makes me smile. ❤ so relaxing. Thank you Marion.
I loved watching this as I was sewing at my machine. We have been so dreary here, seeing the sun and hearing the birds gave me the hope of warmer days to come. Thank you, Marion.
Dreary here too. Seems days since I've seen any sunshine...
You have knowledge about so many different things. Thank you for sharing ❤
I just love your videos I want to watch them all day long ♥️
What a wonderful idea, thank you for sharing. I’m going to try this. Beautiful !!! 🪡🧵♥️🌺
What a Lovely video!!! You are so talented and lovely. So nice to spend a bit of time with you as you create delicious and beautiful creations. ❤
Lovely day in your world Marion. I haven't seen flower pounding before. Very interesting effect. Must give it a try. 👏♥️🇦🇺

@@marionsworld24 Oh they did. They are all gone LOL 🤣
You are a true inspiration & a very fine person. I love your garden area & appreciation for nature. The bird is a masterpiece.

You are amazing. I could sit and watch your videos all day.
This has to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve watched on RUclips - just magical ❤
Oh . thanks so much for your comment💐💐💐
I am so amazed by the flower and leaf smash ! I love your garden ! Thank you for sharing this. Your creations are beautiful and inspiring. ❤
You'll have to give it a go too...
You are such an inspiration!
So glad I came upon your Chanel.
Thank you.
You can actually freeze the butter to shred it fast and the room temp will warm it up and works great too. But I will also try your method of rolling it in the flour, that is a great trick!
Freezing sounds like a good idea for hotter places than here. It's not normally hot enough to make a difference where I live!😊
Your world is peaceful, creative, inspiring and beautiful ❤
Your very blessed to have your little secret garden.❤
The raven! I just loved spending time with you today Marion.
Thank you. It's hard to believe that's over a year ago now!
Thoroughly enjoyed this and discovered a beautiful poet. ❤️
He has such a beautiful way with words.. Another favourite from him is this one www.goodreads.com/quotes/8877388-to-know-the-dark-to-go-in-the-dark-with
The raven is magical, you’re so incredibly good at what you do, such beautiful attention to detail. W🤩W.
🧵🪡 I like to get details where I can...💐
What a lovely video. Thank you for inviting us in for a view of your day.
Fascinating watching the flower pounding- I learn something new with each of your videos I watch! A treasure trove ❤
🌸
My 8 year old granddaughter is experimenting with needlework and after I found your videos, I hope to be able to introduce her to your ideas and open up a new world of creative ideas for her to try.
That's lovely Joanie. I don't have grandchildren yet, but when I do... I'm all set :)
What a huge day you have had and I've loved every minute of it. Your garden, your kitchen and your creativity are very inspiring 🌷
Thank you Helen.😊💐

That raven you're making here is magnificent. What you can do with a few bits of fabric and some stray threads is nothing short of amazing. Such beautiful beautiful work .
I should have been making the next one. I had the idea to make some more fabric sculptures.. but I got sidetracked by something else!
Just watched with my mid morning coffee. What a treat on this murky, rainy January day. Beautiful ❤️
Thanks Kathryn. It seems so long ago now. My poor garden is in an even worse state than it was then I'm afraid. I really struggled to get motivated with it after Michael passed away. Even though I did all the gardening anyway...
I think this year might just be the year to get it back to ship shape hopefully.

That's the lovely thing about gardens - there's always next year 😉 I remember making rock buns at school but I think mine came out actually like rocks rather than lovely and fluffy like yours. 😂 Though my baking has improved since then. ❤️
Gorgeous little garden
Just lovely!
Goodness gracious! Thank you 💐
Love your garden. It's so peaceful and beautiful. I live in Texas and its ready hard to just have a green yard.
I'm imagining a cactus garden...🤔
Your videos are fantastic Marion. I’ve learned so much from you. You have so many brilliant skills. I love your bird book & flower book. Hadn’t heard of flower pounding before. What lovely results
You'll have to try it ☺️🌸
Lovely 😍
Grating the butter was a great tip. Thank you so much. Your raven is beautiful.
I'm glad it worked for you. I've done it that way for years now and it really keeps the scones light ☺️
I live in Italy now, but I’m from Wales and I miss hearing sheep!

Beautiful garden.
What a beautiful day with you, thank you for sharing the sunshine and your garden. Truly a bit of heaven on earth.
The bird is so real looking , you do such wonderful work, the flower pressing was fun. I love to here the birds singing and the cows talking together. Take care 😊 ❤ Linda W.
I absolutely love your creativity,I finally have some time at the age of 60 to also unleash what I had tucked away for so long,,yay
You can let your creativity be unleashed! :)
What a beautiful video. And a lovely blackbird singing his heart out.
Hope he's here this year too...
I love watching you Marion, good health and happiness ❤xx

I’d love a bit, they look delicious 😋

😅 it is lovely to sit outside crafting away. There'll not be many of those now at this time of year though...

Your beautiful black bird has such character, what a joy.
I've got plans for him... 🤞it turns out like it seems in my head!
What a fun idea. I will be doing this with my grand kids next summer.
Hi Marion just found your podcasts, they are so relaxing and calming, I could watch and listen to you all day. Thank you for sharing your world with me, I feel calmer and inspired by the things you have so kindly showed us. I am so glad I have found you, please keep doing what you are doing xxx Kim xxx
Your garden is so wild and wooly...you must have wonderfully rich soil. I really enjoyed you showing us how to make your spoon dropped scones. Ive just learned how to make them. I will try the grated butter idea, so much faster.
Once you've tried you won't go back to your old way! It keeps the texture nice and light because the butter stays cold.
So So lovely you and your garden. I love the bird, about to go and look for more vidoes with you making it.
I absolutely love your videos. You are so calming, and an amazing artist.!
Great tutorial. Hope your having a lovely day as the sun is lovely day today.
