Playing with fairies

I don't know if you are anything like me when you are being creative, but I have a little problem of getting fixated on something I like. If I make something and I think 'wow' then I find myself making more and more very similar items.

At the moment my fixation is fairies!

 

I have always loved fairies. When my children were small I used to love taking them to the types of place where you could imagine fairies would live and get them to try to find them.

 

 

Each of the fairies have a name and they now have there own blog where you can follow their wanderings http://awanderwiththefairies.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/meet-fairies.html.

 

 

 

I wonder what other friends the fairies might find x x

 

Time for a holiday

Here we are half way through the half term holidays (yes I get a whole two weeks off - yippee) the weather has been a bit of a mixed bag, but I am not one to let a little rain spoil my time off - well we're not made of sherbet!

 

 

For a while my best friend and I had been promising our children to go on a ghost walk in York, so we packed our bags and headed of for a little trip to my favourite city.

 

 

I recommend that anyone visiting York should go on the ghost walk, not just for the stories but to hear the history that goes with the buildings of this beautiful place. 

 

 

 

It's lovely to take some time to get away and have some fun.

We had a lovely walk through the gardens. My daughter has got past the age were she will spend hours looking for fairies amongst the flowers, although we did spot one mythical creature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once I got home I set to work on the pattern for this little lovely who I am sure would feel right at home playing among the flowers.

 

 

 

Along with her sister fairy who was more inspired by the rain clouds.

 

 

 

And now I have another week off for playing with the fairies and designing some new patterns.
