A Tidy Up of My Front Garden.

[@singy555]

Hi Marion, thank you so much for all your help in teaching me how to sew and giving me the confidence to tackle all you have shown us this year. I can see how much I have improved from a beginner stitcher in January till now. I have a beautiful stitch book, all thanks to you and your generous heart. You have made my year better, and I'm sure thousands of people would agree you are a bright light in this world. Have a lovely Christmas and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2025 will bring. Lots of love Suzanne, Brisbane, Australia

[@brendatilbury99]

I think we all wish that we could walk up your path and have a cup of tea and some cake with you… 🌸🌿🌸xx

I will wisch you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🎉💖Thanks for every thing you have shared to all of us this year 🙏🧶🪡🧵🌺🦋🌿

[@shonnarobertson6462]

The garden looks lovely, and I love that you have Smaug at the door protecting you. It is Christmas Eve here in the southern hemisphere, and I have thoroughly enjoyed your Advent Diary. I’m a little sad that tomorrow will be the last one for the year - so much work for you, but it provides so much joy for all of us watching. Thank you. Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas and a wonderful new year. 🎄 🎉

[@ritacupano5001]

Wishing you a peaceful & a joyful Christmas and New year, Marion. You radiate such warmth and kindness, love of hand work and everyday joy. It's a pleasure to watch your videos and be immersed in the simple magic of your days. Thank you.

Good job Marion ! Nothing like a bit of a tidy up. I always find it very satisfying when I look and see what has been accomplished, whatever the size of the task. Have a lovely day : ) x

[@RedKittieKat]

Oh wow!! I love your Dragon! I have always loved Dragons. I can't wait to see your front garden in bloom. It already looks so cozy and inviting. Have a very Merry Christmas, Marion. I wish the very best for you and yours for this upcoming year. And thank you for all your wonderful videos and sharing your wonderful talents, tips and tricks with us. 🥰

[@barbaranielsen2888]

I send you my best wishes for a peaceful and happy Christmas! I know it is not easy!

[@helenreid5860]

Merry Christmas Marion. Thank you so much, for all the effort that you put into your content. My Green Man tote came with me on my mini cruise to Europe, so I could carry my Christmas projects that I was crocheting. I lost my Dad this year and my mum thirteen months before him. My mum taught me lots of crafting skills and getting back to it has made me feel incredibly close to her. I see and feel your sadness. Please know youre helping others in a way you'll never know. X

[@wandabarnett9159]

I can think of nothing I would like better than to walk up your lovely, tidy path and enter your gorgeous home for a heartwarming visit. Thank you for sharing so much of your amazing talent, and for trusting us with your thoughts and feelings as well. I want to join everyone else here in wishing you a very good Christmas and further healing in the New Year.❤❤❤

[@juliemorrison4348]

Great job with your front garden Marion. You have so many bird feeders that must attract so many lovely little birds. I covered some large pine cones with a honey mixture and coated them with seeds for the flocks of lorikeets that visit our Australian Natives front garden. They always love all the blossoms but they loved my cone feeders and I need to re-do.🌲🌲🇦🇺

[@joanieann6179]

I find it amazing that flowers are blooming on December 23rd! Here in Manitoba, we have about a foot of snow on the ground and no active plants. I miss the growing season, but here, winter is a time for indoor activities after the snow is shoveled. 😊 Wishing you a blessed Christmas, Marion. I'm looking forward to your new projects and stitching in 2025. Let us pray for peace in the world in the New Year. Take care, Louise ❤

[@tammydayfl]

Lovely little garden. The winter flowers and berries are beautiful too. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@elainebramson7042]

Love the chat with tea! ❤ we are done with our yard cleaning which i do, always have. Ot will start again in April. God will be joyful.of all.of his children you are feeding - birdies are jumping up and down and thanking you for a Christmas treat. ❤🕊 wish you a very blessed Christmas with great food and company. Sit by fireplace and enjoy! Hugs from across the pond!

[@lesahanners5057]

Just this moment I was inspired by your dragon, to write a brief poem. ...By her doorway sleeps a dragon, in a garden full of flowers. 'Tis a place of sweet retreat, a truly magic leafy bower. Where a maiden full of sunshine, comes to rest herself a while. Amongst the beauty of her garden, and it makes the dragon smile. To sleep there beside her doorway, in a blessed sweet repose. With cool moss upon his back, beneath her fragrant climbing rose. 'Tis for him a thing most pleasant, true rest from Dwarves and Hobbits too. For her garden is a treasure, and his Marion is one too! Merry Christmas Marion. 😊❤

[@mjhogie7911]

I love the poem you wrote for Marion, very well written and said very nice.😊

[@lesahanners5057]

@mjhogie7911 Thank you. I think Marion has been such an inspiration to us all.

[@NiccoletteR]

You are so kind doing that, for Marion, I ,know she hold it in her heart, It is people like you, and Marion, that make this world a better place, In this world, when we see and hear so much sadness, hate, unkindness, We need it to show that we all wrong, its not, its fill of happyness, Kindness and the greatness one is LOVE.

[@viviancothros5541]

Beautiful poem! ❤

[@mariaadrianavanbuel9588]

That was a lot of hard work in the garden Marion, and it looks so much better now. I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful and healthy 2025!

Dear Marion I enjoyed every day of the advent diary this year and, together with you, hung up my numbers and Christmas decorations. I intend to make some of the felt decorations inspired by the ones you have,for next year! I wish you and Wendy a wonderful Christmas and, of course, also your son Luke and daughter Naomi . I am looking forward to next year, see you then for sure 🎉❤

[@fionahaigh708]

Your front path now looks so inviting along with all the interesting curios in your front garden, all waiting for a friendly visitor. The birds will be well fed too, I often heard birdsong in your videos during warmer months, you must get lots of feathered visitors every day. The buds and berries were lovely to see , thank you Marion, we enjoyed being outside with you today 🐉🐦

[@fairweee8058]

As a child in my home town we had neighbours that grew all those flowers that you have mentioned and many others. .They would let me come in to smell them and help them with cooking, pruning etc. they were teaching me the old ways which I am so blessed to have learned. I do miss the smell of the honey suckle. I live in a hot region now so not many flowers. I look forward to seeing your flowers bloom. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@judepicton6252]

hi Marion! thanks for sharing your garden clean up with us. it looks so different now. i bet your milkman will really appreciate it all as he walks up your path to replace your empties with full bottles of fresh milk. i like it that you garden with your cup of tea. it will be so nice to start the new year with a tidier garden. hopefully you'll get your new arch installed and readorned with your vines.thank you Marion for sharing Marion's World with all of us and for this second sweet Advent Diary series! happy Christmas. linda from california

It often strikes me how similar we are in things we do and have. We little people "clear-up" the same way too! My birdfeeders....same as yours, I refill using a cut off- bottomed bleach bottle (blue for the big feeder, yellow for the little ones). I too have not trimmed the lavender....most unlike me as that's usually what I do first. I have bumblebees visiting the Mahonia which is just lovely to watch. Buds and blossoms this time of year are just magical. ❤

[@marionsworld24]

It was lovely to see the hellebore in flower. I just hope I can get the arch sorted out before all the plants start into growth again..

[@SierraNovemberKilo]

@marionsworld24 I agree. Hellebore are adorable. I don't have a space for them but there is a public garden not far from here that has thousands in a raised terrace. I walk around the back way so the I can see the flowers as I walk up the steps. A very rewarding winter walk!

[@tagladyify]

Sorry about your arch. The wind has been causing lots of trouble these days. You made it look really nice, though, and I’ll bet that your vines will come back just fine in the spring, too. ☺

[@donnacarraway9182]

Great work Marion! I hope that you didn’t overdo! When I came here to my new little home, the front flower plot (much smaller than yours) was all overgrown and so with my broken wrist and all I cleaned out that area…it was very satisfying but as I used muscles that I hadn’t used it a while, I ended up very sore for a couple of days. But then it looked so good that I put Christmas lights on two little trees and now it looks really festive! Little things do make a difference! I hope that you don’t have to work too much to be ready for Christmas and that whatever you do will be enjoyable! Merry Christmas Maid Marion! 💕Donna
