Fairy Crafty

Read about my crafts, second-hand store finds and things that I turn from treelawn trash into treasure by reinventing things and making them new for us to enjoy!...I have Fifth Avenue taste, but a very thrifty budget.

Last weekday of Spring Break!

OK....so, this is the last day of spring break...and it went pretty well! Our new house closed on Wednesday...so we are headed out there this weekend! Hubby spent the night out there last night already!!

....Something about a pipe that burst----doesn't sound very good! I guess we'll be useing a bucket to pee in!! Too bad that we have all girls!! ha ha ha ha ha

Well, we're off....have a great weekend and I'll be updading!

Spring Break - Day 1...


Well....so far, things have been fine!

But...it's only 10:00 am!!!!!!!!! Here is a pic from D3 that she created on her Leapster - she wanted it to be posted on the blog so that everyone could enjoy!

Knitting class is tonight -- yea! I really look forward to that. Tonight I need to learn how to fix stitches so that I don't always have to rip the stitches out! I think that things are going pretty well, though! I love to knit!

Happy Mother's Day and Happy 21st Birthday!


It is Mothers Day in England....my daughter and son in law sent me these beautiful flowers and tea pot!! How thoughtful!!!!! I can't wait to use the tea pot -- this is my first "real" one...besides the one that stays on the stove! Today is also her 21st birthday!! It's hard to believe! They had a nice party with their friends...and after talking with them on the phone--it sounded like a really good time!


I had promised D1 that I would make these little tea bag/coffee bag holders for her and one for her mother-in-law. Since they DO live in England, I'm sure that they have every tea item (except for a tea ball!!)....I don't think that they have these little holders. I thought that I would make up as many as I had buttons for. The prototype that I had made previously didn't really work - the material was way too thick! I think they turned out really cute!

So, now they are done and I have to get them in the mail! I have another "birthday package" to sent the BOTH of them, so I will just include them in there!
