I've been making... a toadstool house

 a Fairy Toadstool House

this one is not mine; mine is not actually finished yet... and with the new crossstitch commitment keeping me busy til early June it won't be for awhile. I will give it to the girls for Christmas (with some little pixies and gnomes to play in there of course) BUT here it is so far...

there is a little window box, just out of the picture on the left, so I'll needle felt some three dimentional flowers to grow there. I need to add leaves to the tree, birds to the nest, butterflies, more grass, some flowers... I have made the made the roof tho - just need to add half a dozen or so white dots!

Our workshop co-ordinators were the incredibly talented Nikki Fletcher and Mia Faulks from the Silkwood Steiner School on the Gold Coast. I am so grateful they drove down to Brisbane to share themselves and their time for the two days, especially as Mia is due to give birth to her second child any week now.

Fairy toadstool house kits are $45 AU which includes everything you need barr scissors and needles (yes, even the grass playmat!) You just need a little inspiration and some time up your sleeve. If you would like to buy a kit I can give you contact details for Nikki - just leave me a comment.

just a few happy women busy beautifying their houses

BTW - the wee girl - didn't take the bottle...all that lovely milk down the sink! My beloved said she didn't cry - he kept her busy and fed her extra lunch. Seems I worried for nothing, tho she did seem quite keen for a long cuddle when I got home which was very nice, for us both, because I missed her.
