Do You Believe in Fairies?

Oh my goodness, my favorite time of the  year.  Time for the fairies to come out soon from their winter sleep.  I could not wait to start working on the front of their home  and their pond as a kind welcome to them.  I just want them to keep coming back.  So, I found them this fabulous door on Etsy by Jay Beesmer at Wooden Treasures, from North Carolina!  It arrived today and it is more beautiful in person!  I love it Jay and the fairies will too.  The butterfly, well that is right up our alley around here in funky queendom.  THANKS Jay! As a side note, Jay and his wife at Lovingly Crafted...are quite the brilliant wood artists.  You just have to go and check them out on Etsy.
Here is a close up of the door!


Do you believe in fairies?  I hope you do!  Isn't it enchanting to imagine that the fairies do all kinds of magical things at night while we are sleeping?  I would love to know what your thoughts are about fairies.  How can I fix their little area up more so that they will feel welcome?  Ideas?

Of course, I "believe"...I AM your Prairie Fairy after all! A tiny solar light above the door might help us find our way without falling in the pond? Perhaps an itsy-bitsy gift basket w/wine & fairy sunscreen waiting for our arrival? We LOVE the red door created by your artist friend. Thank you!

I was thinking of a natural welcome for the fairies, a bit of sweet woodruf flowers planted by the front door stoop? They like the damp. Maybe a tiny ivy wreath by the front door? It is a lovely door and I'm sure will delight many fairies and people alike.

Hi Lesley! This is Pam (The Altered Muse)in Ft. Worth. Just wanted to say Hi and let you know how much I relate to your post about zeroing in on "my thing" in the world of creating. I have many great ideas and I am always writing them down and telling myself to focus..focus..focus and do these great things I have in my head. I have purchased many items to complete these things, and they are wonderful, but pretty much sitting there in the studio. I recently converted my garage to a workshop for classes and hope to start them in the next few weeks. I am so like you in that I am drawn to gathering things for workshops, with the hope of niching my own thing to teach. Hope to hear from you soon and I believe you are on the right track. My blog is full of all things creative. Please take a look. www.thealteredmuse.blogspot.com. Talk to you soon. Pam

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Dumpster Diving Diva

Dumpster Diving Diva Yes, I have to say, I probably looked something like this yesterday. I'm hoping that my bo - hiney did not look so much like this one though. OK, are you ready for this Lucy Ricardo story? It was Monday and I was working. I parked in the hospital parking lot and was going to go in and market to all the social workers. I spotted a trash dumpster and decided I should take advantage of that and clean the trash out of my car. (When you work out of your car...you are constantly cleaning trash out). So, I gathered up all trash and proudly walked over to the dumpster that I was parked so close to. I'm always so proud of myself for making do on the run. I proudly released my trash into the dumpster and before it hit the bottom I realized I also released my car keys! DANG IT! I could see them but for the life of me, I could not reach them. First, I looked all around for witnesses (none) so I dipped in slightly with my arm reaching as far as it could.....no go. Not

NO WATER REQUIRED FABRIC FLOWERS

I finished these fabric flowers yesterday. I loved the polkadot material. I just used fabric stiffener and I baked them some to make the fabric hard. I hot glued the stems and tied pretty ribbon. These are my kinda flowers......I can't kill these. Just dust and go. LOL Then after thinking about it a bit, I decided to make some round ones....kinda like pansies. That was not enough though.....I wanted them to be sort of primitive so I tea dyed them and baked them to stiffen. I also added polyurthane.....which by the way, I don't like as it seems to have a very mild stickiness even after they dried. So we live and learn....anyway....here they are. Then I decided to so something else with fabric....something different and unique. Oh my goodness, sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I do not like this creation but I like the concept so I might have to play with the idea some more. I wanted to make a fabric sculpture piece of art that you could hang on the wall. This is
