Summer Fairy Dwellings

This summer, I’ve made time for creating more fairy dwellings.  My kids made their own collections of fairy homes as well.  It is amazing how 10 hours can disappear as I glue bits of moss, cut and measure twigs, and sort through my bark collection for just the right piece.  I make a glorious mess.  My apron becomes speckled with stems, moss-covered blobs of glue, wire clippings, and perhaps even fairy dust.  I stay up late creating and can’t wait to wake up early and begin working again.  Here are photos of what keeps bringing me joy no matter how old I get.

Rounded Fairy House

I enjoy making fairy/gnome houses for my kids to play with.  Because of this, we seem to have a small fairy village starting to grow in our house.  I love offering my children handmade toys which spark their imaginations.  Here is my latest creation, which my daughter really likes and is antsy to play with.   I made the roof removable so that she could easily move her dolls and furniture in and out.
