Children Quick !! Take your seats ! Spoon is here with Baker !!!!!

Oooooh Uncle Ukki, it's so exciting ! We're having a great Party ! 

YES ! There he is !!!

Hello Baker and welcome ! Uncle Ukki has a present for you !

Little Ginny gave Baker her party hat and Baker opened her present smiling from ear to ear. . . . . 

WOODEN SHOES !!!!

Baker Baker it's like they are special made for you !!!

Baker kept smiling , she was sooo happy she couldn't say a word. Uncle Ukki and the little ones understood , they knew that was going to change soon enough . . . . . .

Frightening discovery part 2

Arthur was intrigued by the Uldra and followed him everywhere but the Uldra was a second out of Arthur's sight and the creature got his hands on a poor bird!

Uncle Ukki took the bird easily out of the Uldra's hands and set the bird free

All right little ones, that's it !

I have this plan. . . . . .  did you see Spoon this morning?

He agreed to help me and I need your help too little ones.

As I told you, the Uldra won't leave the house but his greed will lure him outside.

He loves grapes more then anything so if you will go outside and hold the grapes and call him, Spoon will get into action.

The little ones called and called and yes! There he was!

Before anyone noticed what happened :

 Bravo Spoon ! Take him as far as you can !!!

Okay children, I suspect we will hear more of him but for now ; Lets drink a nice cup of tea !

Frightening discovery !!!!!

One morning, Ginny, Arthur and Higgins were up very early and decided to watch the geese flying over.

But My Oh My what is this !!!

It looks like a Stork baby!

Higgins speaks the bird-language, but no response from the bird.

They quickly ran inside to get Uncle Ukki.

Uncle Ukki stumbled out of bed ( forgot to put on his slippers) and ran with the children outside

They managed to get him inside and on the kitchen table,

Well Uncle Ukki's  vision wasn't good but there was nothing wrong with his nose ! SUDDENLY !!!!

 The bird changed into something horrible! Uncle Ukki fell over and the little ones screamed !!!

Oh my oh my what was this! Arthur ran to get some dates!

Little ones, this is an Uldra!
I know now what happened with my glasses, he did something with it.
He knows that a gnome recognize an Uldra in disguise immediately and you little ones have no experience with them.
He disguises himself to get into the house, at night he will check the house of innocent people and if he likes it he wants to be invited in.
Of course no one lets him in as soon as they see it's an Uldra and that is why he disguises himself.
When he is invited in, he won't leave.
When he is not invited in he can't stay in the house ( there are other creatures who have these rules)


An Uldra is a creature who originally lives way up North but these days you find them more and more all over the world.
They have one light coloured eye and one dark coloured eye, so they can see during the day and at night.
You see the leash on his neck? When Uldra's are born the mother gives them a leash right away!
They are not too bright and they will forget who their mother is so they are kept on a leash.
The mother of course is also not so bright and she will forget which child is hers if it's not on a leash.
The creatures are quite harmless but because they are a bit ( very ) stupid, they see no harm in harming animals or humans.
They just doesn't understand hurt ( unless it's themselves who's hurt)
Well I will come up of a way to get rid of him and in the meanwhile we keep him busy with fruit, he is a vegetarian and loves dates and prunes!


To be continued. . . . . .

Pyjama !

Good morning little ones! What are you doing?

Good morning Uncle Ukki ! 

We  are knitting a pyjama for the little piggie, we heard Helen say he needs a pyjama.

But Ginny, where did you learn to knit?

Well Uncle Ukki, I guess we didn't tell you but Arthur and I lived in Scotland for a while, as a matter of fact, on the Fair Isle, a tiny island that is part of the Shetland Islands.

They make beautiful knit-work and we learned it from a very nice man.

Higgins can not knit but we are teaching him and he is trying very hard. ( see his tongue hanging out :-)

We let him knit the leg part of the pyjama so he only needs one colour .

Well children it looks very good !

Thank you Uncle Ukki! Can you move a bit you're blocking our example!

So, I'll have to take measures and see how the colour is matching

Revised edition !!!!

There were some problems with the first edition of the book but all is well now !!!

I think Barby explains it much better so here is a part I copied from her Blog :

New BLUE BOOK with Barby Anderson and Helen Priem's art inside

Well, I had to re-publish the brown book I posted earlier because the publisher had a template problem. I made it blue this time and love the new color. Helen's name is on the book because her art is all through the book with my critters and I wanted it on this one! Humble Helen might say differently but since I published it I got my way! ;) There are 93 photos in the book so I included just a few on here. Here is the link to where our book is sold:

Everyone who bought the brown book with the flaw gets a new free copy of the blue book !!!!!
