Fairies Nest

It's all about the dolls for me...some people just gravitate to jewelry, I'm instantly drawn to animals, dolls, little people. Maybe I just didn't have enough of them as a child. I was pretty much a tomboy though..

Here is an artist, Fairies Nest, that is spectacular.

If you don't instantly just fall off your chair with your jaw hanging open and drool dribbling down your chin, then I just don't even want to know you!

Now, if I was shopping for dolls, and had the good fortune to find this shop, I wouldn't know which one to buy, because all her work is so magnificent. Look at the details!

Incredible.

Just puts a gigantic smile on my face, and I HAD to share.

The Art of Needle Felting

I have such admiration for the artists that utilize the technique of needle felting! It is MUCH harder than it looks - I've taken two classes. In the first class, we needle felted a teddy bear. Such a dismal failure, that I didn't even care that our kitten got a hold of the teddy and shredded it.

My second class was much better, I did a bunny that is for sale in my etsy shop.

HOWEVER, check out Cozy Cottage Creations! Now, here is somebody who has truly perfected the fine art of needle felting. Her work is fabulous! The details are astounding. somebody already bit into that apple!

I'm going to go have strawberries for breakfast!!

In Awe

I live in awe of some of the Waldorf-style art that is available on Etsy. I remember when Noah was about 2 - I totally splurged on a plastic farm set for him. Barn, animals, little farmer men and women. He loved it and played with it a lot.

But imagine if I had known about this:

This wonder is made by Wool Comes Alive at Etsy. The little bales of hay just absolutely FLOOR me. So now Noah is 15, and believe me, has absolutely no interest in anything HAY related (well, at least I hope so, if you know what I mean). We have horses, and the high-school version of Noah has little interest in them. He will feed them, but that's about it. So Sad.

Wool comes Alive makes all kinds of wonderous items. I rather want everything in her shop. You can buy these trees to put with your barn, and pretend you have an orchard.
