I'm doing 17 things
:) YAY!! So I started today and built one little fairy house, not very sturdy, but it came out SO much better then I had anticipated!
I used a plastic pudding cup, cut a little door in the side, covered it in clay (I only had pink! Yikes!), and pressed stones and acorn tops into it. That looked ok, but too “fairy beach-house” with the pink peeking out. So I took moss and poked it in all around between the stones. Then I took a semi-thick piece of plastic and stapled it into a cone shape for the roof. I took the extra moss and (don’t laugh) stapled it to the roof. It actually worked really well. The roof just sits on top of the house, which I may have to fix in case it gets really windy. I have never been very good at building things, but I am so happy with my little house! It looks AMAZING. Like the fairies built it themselves. It reminds me a little of the Hobbit’s houses.
My little house is now nestled in some mossy gnarled roots of a tree, overlooking my flower bed. I don’t think I am going to tell anyone about it, it seems like the kind of thing you should just discover.
If I can find a way to get the pictures off my phone I will post some.
Now that I have one, and see how good it came out, I want more! A whole tiny village among my flowers :)

Fairies!!

I wanted to do this since I was a kid. And since they seem to be pretty popular here in New England, I’ve been seeing alot about them lately. There are tons of websites where you can buy little fences and furniture, and even the houses themselves if you’re so inclined.
Fun!

My boyfriend took me on my first ever carousel ride today! :) I rode a zebra and it was such a nice experience! I recommend trying it at least once.
