Sweet Lavender Fairy

Lavender Fairy so gentle and pure

at bed time you greet the littles

to calm them as they gently drift

to peaceful slumber.

A favorite part of tucking in my babies at night is dabbing a little lavender essential oil on the soles of their little feet, a little on their wrists and either a drop or two on their pillow cases or a little smudge on their forehead. The scent is so calming and gentle on little one’s skin, and seems to relax both mama and little ones each night. It is mild enough that it doesn’t require dilution too. Even if you’re not “into” essential oils, you may find it easy to fall in love with lavender.

Tiny Fern Fairy

My dear sweet tiny Fern Fairy,

I love your innocent gaze

The swirl atop your round little head

Your freckled rosy cheeks

Your vibrant green foliage

and delicate wings.

This little fairy peg doll was painted for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas, along with the whole fairy family which will be introduced in the near future. This little friend has a special place in my heart.

Bluebird Family

Saturday, February 1st, 2014

My oldest daughter S. and I spent a good portion of the afternoon creating a series of photographic portraits of our peg doll collection. It was time well spent! I was able to teach her some basics on studio lighting set up, and also how to manually select focus points on my dslr camera. We used a tripod and a macro lens to capture tiny details on the peg dolls. It was her idea to break out the Christmas tree! Meet mama and papa bluebird and their soon to be son/ daughter! (The egg is made of sculpey clay, baked and a few speckles added with paint. Nest is wound up yarn and twine, knotted and twisted to make a suitable home for this sweet little family). Tweet!
