Pretty Pink Fairy House


Hi Everyone

Well the MGP (bike racing) is starting today so it will be a hectic time with visitors arriving.

I have been kept busy with an order I received after the Southern Agricultural Show for a fairy house (Dragonfly) - only it was requested in pink!  After a lot of thought surrounded by my papers I chose some with texture and some just for the colour.  I truly hope that you like the finished house as much as I do.  I think it is pink enough for any girl but with a little bit of relief thrown in for good measure.

Let me know what you have been making recently and, of course, I’m always interested in your views.

Colour for Summer


Hi, good morning

This weekend just gone was a big one for me with the Royal Agricultural Show on both Friday and Saturday - thank goodness for a rest day on Sunday before returning to work.

In my stash I found a beautiful strand of multi - coloured dyed quartz, graduated and faceted.  The colours are deep and rich, I just love them.  I have made two jewellery sets out of this strand, the first is a knotted piece graduated with tiny purple ear rings.  The second set is a long chain with drop graduated pendent and long ear rings to match.

Let me know what you have been making recently and, of course, I’m always interested in your views.

Fairies in a Bottle


Good Morning

Last Saturday I was in Port Erin at St Cath’s Church Hall and we had a great day - sunny and mild so lots of people about.

I have been thinking about fairy related things for a while as I keep being asked for them, and I have finally put an idea into reality.  This week I have made a batch of bottled Manx fairies and I am very pleased with them.  They have taken a bit of reining in for me to be happy with them, but I am now and it would be great to hear what you think of them too.

This coming weekend is the Royal Agricultural Show on the Isle of Man, so if you are attending then call in and say hi, hope to see you there and keep on crafting.
