Still gardening

I've been gardening my little heart out lately. I'll take pictures later of some of the things I've done. I've added more to the fairy garden, put in a small flower bed next to our garage, done some general clean up around the property, planted corn, started a new sidewalk/path, etc. I've also been reading. I haven't done many crafts lately. I've also been shopping alot lately, LOL. So I haven't been home (except when my little one was sick last week and was a snuggle bunny). Its starting to get really hot outside, so I'll be crafting more soon!!!

Indian girl Poppet

A friend of mine asked me to make a little Indian girl poppet for her neice. Her neice graduates from High School this year and her school mascot is the Indians. So here is what I came up with.

Here skin is a little washed out in the picture. Its actually darker and a little more yellow. I made the dress without a pattern. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Fairy Garden

I'm currently working on a fairy garden right in front of the house. Here's what I've got so far:

I made a mushroom circle out of ceramic mushrooms I found at a discount store. I've got hose guides in the front and a little frog prince. He watches over the bird bath. I tried to plant a lot of low growing ground covers. We will see how this works. I'm in love with it so far.

The butterfly's like it.
