Fairies in the garden ♥️

02/09/2026

And there at dawn, they leave behind
A ring of toadstools wee,
(Where they have danced you’ll always find
This mark for folks to see)
Then off they fly into the sky
Just as the clock strikes 3!

There are fairies in my garden! They flew in off the moors and lucky for me I managed to catch this little one on camera…not everyday you see things like this, I knew it was magical here.

She is made from polymer clay, paper mache and her wings are made from resin. I have painted her and made her dress from antique lace ❤️

I would like to make more…should I?

What’s everyone up to on this rainy, cosy Sunday?
I’m making fairy wings from resin…my first attempt and I just love them! So delicate with a sprinkling of glitter.
The wings, the carpet, the dog, my daughter and me are now covered in sparkles ♥️

I’ve had a lovely few days on the Jurassic coast with my daughter looking for fossils and wow did we find some! Such a fun thing to do.
Home now and I’ve started work on a unicorn commission and I’m also going to make my first little fairy…I’ve decided to make some moorland fairy folk to sell, mystical little beings woven with magic…watch this space!

On a more positive note, I finished my rag rug! Completely loved doing this and it looks perfect in my my bedroom which will hopefully be finished soon.

Good morning guys 🙂. I hope you are all doing well today.
I wasn’t sure if I should write this but I’ve been thinking a lot and it reckon it’s important.
I know there have been a lack of posts recently and the truth is, I’ve been experiencing what I can only call a bit of a burnout.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been functioning fine, doing nice things with my daughter, cooking, cleaning, doing life but all the time with a massive knot of anxiety in my chest. Looking at emails and replying to messages has suddenly become a Stone Age flight or fight reaction like I’m being chased by a bear and everything thing feels too much. I’ve really struggled doing any work which is why there has been so little action.
There’s no particular reason for it, a combination of constant financial worry plays a big part and also nearly everyone I care about has been having a rubbish time recently and I want to fix it all but I know I can’t.
The world feels heavy.
Also it’s been a big year, moving and all the stress before that!
Anyway, I’m not looking for sympathy and I know it will pass, I’ve spent the last few days doing nice things with my little girl, seeing friends and family and rag rugging with Mr Ballen (new favourite pass time!)
I’m feeling a bit better today so I’ll be back to work and have something new for you to see very soon.
Sorry if I haven’t replied to any messages, I will be back very soon!
I just wanted to say, if anyone else out there is feeling the same, I understand and I’m sending love ❤️
