~ Fairy Picnic Basket and Simple & Sweet Fridays #74~

I saw the cutest idea ever and had to make one!
A Fairy Picnic Basket.
I bought a picnic basket at the thrift store.
 Line the basket with a black liner.
Trim the excess with scissors and then add a ground cover.
I used blue star creeper,
add some old vintage plates and an empty bottle of wine.
I found my fairies at Summers Past Farms in Flinn Springs.
But, you could probably find them online. 

Instead of  using all plates in the holders I added
 some small vases and picked some fresh roses.
Of course, a little fairy under a glass looks cute!

I attached a little fairy holding onto the cork!
The picnic basket is a perfect place for the fairies to play!
I also added some new fairy food to my Etsy.
Of course, the fairies need some fruits and vegetables!




Happy Thursday everyone!

~Vintage Pumpkins~

I found some vintage material at Hart's Fabric Store and wanted to make something for Halloween. 
I used different size bowls as my pattern for the pumpkins.
I stitched around the pumpkin so I could pull the thread tight to close it.
I used kitty litter but you can also use rice or beans. 
It is a good idea to have some weight to the bottom of the pumpkin. I only filled 1/3 of it.
I stuffed the top part with poly-fil and placed the chalk in the middle and stitched it closed.
I found different accessories at the craft store to use for the stems and embellishments. 
I love the vintage material.
Hope you have fun with this project!
