You guys have been so busy!!!

Gosh I had forgotten how hectic life gets with people coming and going randomly all day. Doesn't leave much time for crafting and art.

This little lady arrived safely at her new home with Linda, and she is now named "Gia" :D

 and this is the gorgeous faerie cottage that Linda made for me as a return gift! It arrived this morning and I am still smiling like a loon :D

 Bailey has been missing his boy, and fell asleep hugging his leg last night bless him.

 Looking forward to meeting up with friends in October, and making more faeries to gift them...(but shhhh...it's a surprise)

 Mostly last week I was busy preparing items to be displayed at the church I was baptised in. They were holding a remembrance for the centenary of the Great War and asked for any items we had to share. I took my Grandad's  photo taken in 1914, along with his medals and military service records.

The ladies and gent's of St Leonard's church Dinnington, along with those at the Lyric Theatre and the British legion did a wonderful job honouring our ancestors. Wish I could have stayed for the service at the cenotaph, but we left some flowers instead.

(same name as my grandad (Harry Brown),but it is his eldest son who died in WW2)

Will catch up with you all soon, promise !

Enjoy :D XXX

Woodland Faerie...going home

A lady called Linda left a lovely comment on my last post asking where she could buy one of my knitted faeries......:D

You all know I don't sell...they are gift's who choose their own home.

So I checked out Linda's blog...

not only does she appear to share my love of nature, but she also makes cottages for Faeries!

(hope she doesn't mind me showing you this pic...too lovely not to share)

Well that just about clinched it really...of course a faerie would want to go live with her...

so her she is :D

(I have not named her, Linda can have that honour)

 After looking at Linda's blog and all the gorgeous blooms she has in her garden, I couldn't resist using vibrant happy colours.

 Linda had asked for a "Woodland" type faerie, so her skirt is made from leaves...

 and lovely Linda has fluffy friends, which allowed me to add a layer of "foofiness"

 "Foofy" hair adds balance to this autumnal little lady...

 and when it comes to wings, it makes sense that small sturdy wings are better suited to flitting through twiggy branches and bramble patches

 Having no name made her a little shy, but Roc held her hand for a while,

 and she soon gained confidence :D

Hope you like her Linda, can't wait to find out what her name is :D

I will parcel her up tomorrow ready to mail on Saturday.

Enjoy :D XXX
