When it comes to decorating our house for the seasons, Pixie is my "go-to" helper. Out of Michelle's 3 wee ones, she has the strongest interest in artistic pursuits, and arranging and showcasing our finished projects is almost as important to her as the project itself. She is forever collecting "props" to "stage" her work. …
After being home for a couple of weeks, I finally feel like I'm caught up enough to start tackling some projects. My list is long and mighty of things I want and need to do, so you can expect to see many new projects shared over the next couple of months. Plus, we are working …
Sneak peek at the latest kit we are working on. Still in the prototype stage, we are getting close to releasing 🙂 Bug is in 7th heaven. He’s been asking for these forever!
EDIT: One of our readers just contacted Casey’s Wood Products where I put the wood parts for the products. They suggested buy the pot #7 which is Premium Wood Bean Pot Candle Cup – 1-9/16″ , (not #7C) . Just should fit nicer than the one I used and you shouldn’t need to make the inside …
If we seemed to have been rather elusive this week, its because we’ve been hard at work creating our Spring Gnomes for Wee Hands. Look for the tutorial in the next day or two.I always feel like I’m bragging, but I love the colors and designs on these little… I mean BIG guys! They were also very cooperative for the photo shoot 🙂 Watch for them soon! …
[We took one of our favorite patterns and made it lovelier by adding more embroidery. I love the end results!] If Fairy Dust is sprinkled on a flower as the last dew of morning evaporates, something magical happens… a Flower Fairy is born! If you are lucky enough to have Flower Fairies in your garden, then you already know that all …

And, because they are beautiful, they add to the warmth and charm to any room! To make your own you will need: 12 wood bean pots – 1 5/8″ …
Who can turn flowers into fairies, a dog into a dragon, and a pesky sibling into a troll? Children, of course! With just a flick of their wrist and the help of a magic wand, ANYTHING is possible and probable 🙂 And, if the wand is a beautiful flower, all the better! To make your …
Tim often looks at me with this incredulous look on his face and asks, “How DOES your mind work?” I like to think he asks when he’s awed by my creative energy… chances are he asks when he’s considering having me committed! Anyway… when “creating”, there are 2 different approaches I take. First, there is …
Dressed in her finest, Gertrude and her family are ready to walk into town to celebrate with the villagers. They have spent the last 3 days preparing; washing and mending, gathering and baking. The children could speak of little else, and Gertrude, along with her husband, have shared tales of celebrations from their childhood. Now, they are ready to go! I am very …
