As you can see, I’m busy with a new creation. I have a couple little girls on my Christmas list that live very far away. I have absolutely no idea what they like or what toys they have. Personally, I think the biggest let down is getting a present that you already have. All the excitement of a present and then… it’s something old. What a bummer. As an adult, we know it’s the thought that counts but try telling that to a 3 yr old on Christmas morning! To get around this trouble, I’ve decided the best plan of attack is to make a present. That way, I’m 100% sure it’s something new. (Also, it’s a lot of fun for me!) During the year, I’m always on the lookout for something fun and easy I can make come Christmas time. This year, it’s fairies. Yes, this mess on my desk will hopefully resolve itself into a fairy or two. How am I going to do this? With a little magic of course! But for now, it’s just chaos. Lots and lots of chaos.<\/p>\n

While I am messing up my desk, I’m vaguely aware of my children pattering back and forth around the house. So long as they aren’t too quiet or too loud I try to give them free reign. But on my last trip downstair for fresh coffee, I came across this.

\nSeemed harmless enough so I walked on by. However, on my next trip for a coffee refill – fairy magic requires copious amounts of caffine (who knew?!?) – Artie’s status had upgraded to this…

\nLeina just came in and asked me how to make a tent. Poor old man. The worst part is, they eventually tire of this play and wander off leaving him locked up somewhere. Eventually I remember about him and dig him out of whatever mess they’ve left him in. I won’t post the more undignified pictures I have but let’s just say, he looks pretty darn cute in a bonnet and beaded necklace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
