Travel Day

I can't believe we are leaving tonight! I am so excited to be leaving this cold cold weather for the warm glimmering sunshine of Santiago, Chile. I am finally packed, it only took me a week. I did find out that when you travel business class you get to check in three bags.....THREE! And there I was trying to cut down my summer wardrobe....I added another bag, course....haha. We will be sitting in those pods. I'm so excited because I have never sat in them before. Should be perfect for a midnight flight, I'm just hoping the little one sleeps in it like it's her bed (fingers crossed).

I will try try try to post some pictures while I am down there. I don't have a laptop anymore unfortunately. Mine died two years ago and instead of replacing it I bought the mac home computer. I do love it, I just wish I could travel with it. Anyway, I will try to find a cool little coffee house where I can download pictures. I probably won't be back for another week or so. So please enjoy what I have posted so far.

I am so thrilled to be bringing all my craft supplies for fairy making. The fairy factory will be in full swing down there. I stocked up on beads, pipe cleaners and some gorgeous new silk yarns for the legs and embroidery. I plan to make quite a few fairies and I can't wait to show you each one as they are created.

See you soon from Chile!! Aye Yay Yay!!!

Hair Matters

I apologize for the cloudy photo today but I still had to share her loveliness. This is a little fairy that I made for my daughter's teacher's little girl. I didn't have my camera with me to take a proper picture of her so I snapped one with my iphone. As you know I love detail, especially the hair. This time I wanted to do something different but dramatic, so I thought how pretty would it be to make a swiss miss bun?! I was so happy with how it turned out that I will be doing more fun updo's for the fairies for sure.

Havana's teacher told me the next day that her little girl was so enthralled with her hair. She was telling her mom that this hair looked really real, not like Barbie....lol! Isn't that sweet? I love how everyone, adults and children react to these little treasures.

Enjoy!

Who Said Boys Can't Be Fairies....Hee Hee

Hello! Sorry for not posting lately. I'm still busy getting ready for my trip. It's funny, the last week or so people have said "Oh, you're probably busy packing" but actually the packing really doesn't take much time at all. It's the million little, annoying errands you have to do before you can actually leave. I swear, I had a list as long as Santa's! It's only today that I finally feel I can relax and finish packing and do my nails for goodness sake! Haha. Us girls HAVE to have our nails done before a trip. I have also be giving myself my own fashion show. I am determined to look deep within my wardrobe and mix things up a bit. It was so much fun! I know I have a lot of nice stuff, but wooeee....I have a pretty kick ass wardrobe....really fun too. If you're ever feeling like your wardrobe is a bit stale these days, I highly encourage you to take a few days and literally try EVERYTHING on and pair it with shoes or other pieces you haven't ever paired them with before. You'll be surprised!! ;)

Well on to fairy business. Isn't this boy fairy handsome? xo

Rockin Red

It's been a couple of days since I last posted but I have a good excuse. I am headed down to Santiago de Chile for three months next Thursday. I will be bringing all my fairy supplies with me of course and I'm hoping to be inspired by the rich Chilean culture.
I am busy packing but I have a little fairy project I am working on for my best friend's birthday. I hope to have it finished for her before I leave and hope to be able to post it here so you can see.

Happy Thursday!! xox
