One of my personal faves!
In October 2008
I came across this blog tutorial
for a carry along doll house.
I jumped in with enthusiam to make my then 19 month old daughter
her own little fairy garden.
It was a labour of love
and a trial of patience,
(not one of my better virtues)
Of course, once I had shed blood, sweat and tears,
I realised that it would be trashed if she got her chubby little baby hands on it
so it was hidden away high on a bookshelf 1 ands 1/2 years gathering dust.
My daughter has just turned 3
and admittedly may well still trash it
but short of putting it away until she turns 18
or getting her to sign a legal document,
I have to hand it over at some stage.
The fairies came from etsy.
I also made up little felt draw string bags
which I filled with little frogs, butterflies, ladybirds and the like
as well as some fairy wands with glitter and colour.

This is one of my prouder moments as a crafts person.
I was so happy with the result.
It is a great little idea and has so much scope for your own personal theme
for your own little person.

Look at that - its divine! How clever. No wonder you need her to sign a legal document!!
Perfect. I remember when Nikki from My Black Cardigan made two for her twins. There was much cursing involved then as well!
Tas, I loved it back then and I still love it now. SUPERB!!!
Adorable!! This tutorial has been at the top of my to-do list all year -- am hoping to make a couple during summer break : ) You should be proud - it's just darling!!

Looks really fiddly to do this all. You can really be proud.
I'm so glad you decided to show this little fairy house on your blog - it's just gorgeous and well worth all the effort!!

Wow Tas - its lovely. Such a great idea for a little girls imagination
It is fantastic ! I'd give it to her for her 21st but then again I'm a lousy mum , lol !
OMG Tas this is completely divine!
I am making one of these for my 2y.o.'s birthday - but it is just a house to play with, your fairy theme is so lovely though.
I can see why it was hard to part with!
