This is how it turned out...
 |
| The Toadstool - a.k.a The Fairy House |
 |
| Checking out their new home |
 |
| And having a chat |
We named them of course...
 |
| Tinkerbell |
 |
| Rosetta |
 |
| Silvermist |
And they seem to get on well together
They even have some sparkly decorations inside!
And they like to play peek-a-boo!
Did it go down well? YES!
It took me a fair while to make, but it was so worth it! My daughter loved it - so much so I've already had to replace the hair with wool rather than felt. The felt hair just didn't quite stand up to the attention!
I used cotton drill for the coloured fabrics - and plain old canvas for the outer body, and I'm pretty pleased with the end result.
Oh Shelley, it's beautiful! I love the fairy names! My eldest daughter read your post with me and she squealed when she recognized their names! And I ADORE the little hidden hearts and stars on the lining. Like a real fairy house, with glimmery shimmery magical walls. Thank you for inviting me to come see this, so we could all ooh and aah over it!
