"Secret Fairy Letters"

We believe in fairies. What a joy it is to have a child in your life.  Sofie will be 6 soon. I love this age! It's tooth fairies and Easter bunnies, dragons and real gold at the end of a treasure map. Precious. Sacred. Cherished.  


As Sofie and I were watching "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure" for the 53rd time the other day, it occurred to me that I'd never made her a fairy outfit before.  Well, I had to remedy that with much haste!  Almost as soon as I started Google fairy fabric, I found Michael Miller's flower fairy prints. Perfect.  The color palette was so soft and pastel - so little girl.  So, I built the rest of the outfit around those colors.  I made padded fairy wings for plenty of flying time, an envelope pocket for secret notes, and a little "tube vase" for flowers, magic wands, feathers, pretty pens or anything slender.  We love the way it turned out.

Well, I've played hooky long enough. I've got to get back to work on a Halloween set I'm working on based on Disney's Haunted Mansion - which I'm really excited about, it's just that there is a-l-o-t of sewing for this one! Phew!
