WOYWW...long time no see :-)

Happy Wednesday to you all....and for those that I have't already wished a Happy New Year to I really do hope 2014 is a great one for you all.  I'm sure one or two of you will have missed my Wednesday ramblings and for that I'm sorry but, just sometimes, life gets in the way and something has to give.  Our Christmas break was filled to capacity with the festivities and dismantling and boxing up of our home in readiness for the move.  Alas we don't have a moving date as yet but Christmas and New Year has sort of got in the way a little.  Needless to say things are starting to get done now so hopefully we should know more some time soon....will keep you posted. :-)

So, what have I been up to in my spare time?....yes I have had a little and have had a distraction project to give me something else to think about during the night when, with all the excitement anxiety apprehension exhaustion, 'busy head' thinking has kept me awake.....and that is what I'm sharing with you today.

It is an on going project but here's how it's going so far....




You take an old dolls house, strip it bare, paint it through, carpet it with furnishing fabric and with a little imagination...





...you end up with the beginnings of a fantasy/fairy/pixie house


These were drawer knobs in their former life....now pixie toadstools

You buy some wooden dolly pegs....


....you add a little skin coloured paint to the faces and then you let your imagination run wild using Pinterest for inspiration.




Many happy minutes have been spent having fun creating some characters to play with in the house.

I hope you have enjoyed my quick catch up today.  I will do my best to call on as many as I can to see what you've all been up to in between the joys of packing and organising all that goes with the house move.
Hugs,

5 little pixies [and 2 bit bigger ones!]...

Wednesday night most of you will know I had my 5 little pixies round with their mummies [and one of their daddies too] to decorate our Christmas tree so I have made a collage of the pics I snapped to make you smile today.....magical memories in the making eh?

You can click on the pics to have a closer look if you'd like to and you can add these titles where you think they fit best...  :-)
  • 5 little pixies all together....very briefly!
  • No I won't got on the top mum!
  • Even a little elf needs his milk at bedtime!
  • A little reindeer gets a bit of tinsel!
  • My two little pixies....when did they grow up and become so beautiful?
  • The biggest pixie can reach the highest up the tree!
  • We painted these today to go on your tree Nanny Annie.
  • Can you put this on the tree please Aunty Amy...I can't quite reach!
  • That looks pretty Mum.
I do so love my family times...I'm such a proud mum and nanny.
..... [but I guess that is pretty obvious :-) ]

Really hope you have enjoyed sharing my snaps today and you have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Annie xxxx
