Meet The Time Keeper

Timekeeper

Most young fairies spend their days chasing glow bugs, collecting dew drops, or getting into mischief. Timekeeper was different. From the day her wings first unfurled, she was fascinated by the passing of time. While others watched the sunrise, she watched the shadows move. While others played, she counted the grains of sand slipping through her hourglass.

No one knows exactly how old Timekeeper is. She looks no older than a newly fledged fairy, yet she speaks with the quiet wisdom of someone who has witnessed centuries. Some say the magic of her enchanted hourglass allows her to borrow a little knowledge from every moment that passes through it. Whatever the truth, she can often be found sitting quietly beneath the roots of an ancient tree, turning her hourglass and reminding hurried fairies that there is no need to rush. After all, every story unfolds in its own time.

“The clock may count the hours, but the heart decides how they are spent.”

My latest Steampunk Fairy….. Pip

Trying It On For Size.

Every great engineer in the fairy realm started somewhere… and for little Pip, it started with a hat far too big for her head.

Her grandfather is one of the most respected clockwork engineers in the Hidden Hollows, famous for repairing everything from steam-powered dragonfly wings to the great copper lanterns that light the fairy markets each winter. His top hat has become a symbol of invention, imagination, and a lifetime of magical tinkering.

Today, while Grandfather was busy in his workshop, Pip quietly borrowed the famous hat to see how it felt. Sitting proudly on her toadstool workbench in her tiny leather apron, she wondered if one day she might grow into it — not just the hat itself, but the role that came with it. After all, every master engineer was once a curious little fairy simply trying it on for size.

Thanks to hubby doing all the prep work for todays family meal, I find myself with some unexpected time in the office….. there is a steampunk dragon flapping round my head and maybe its time for it to come out and wrap itself around this wand!
