Pumpkin Toy House

I made this little pumpkin house for there fairies to play with! It was really easy and they have had a blast playing with it! I bought one of the carving pumpkins at Michael's and drew how I wanted it to look and then cut it out!

Fairy House

This was the kick off to the fall session project! The first couple pictures are kind of dark, its been so stormy and cloudy I have not been able to get a decent picture!! I had a bunch of fall foliage in my storage so I got it out and Lilly, Raley and I decorated this tree house! The girls picked out the flowers and how they wanted them and I used floral wire to hold it all together! Today I think we are going to make things to go with it to play with, some cattails for the pond, bonfire, wood seats, and of course some fall gnomes!!

Fairy Garden

So Lilly and I made these, she helped with most of the painting and it was really good for taking things slow and to  listen carefully to where and what color I told her to paint! I glued all the jewels on.

Lilly did this one

This one she I told her to do what ever she wanted! I think it came out cool!

 Same with this house, she did what ever she wanted!

 

This one she did mostly on her own with really good listening, you can see where the green got high so I put jewels around the bottom and white parts on the top

Same with this one she helped me paint and listen really good I think!!

We made a table for the fairys to have a Tea Party! We also have

Here are some of our Fairy's and Friends. I really wanted to buy the Mary Cicely Barker Fairy's but they are so expensive and breakable and I wanted to be able to play with our fairy garden.

Some of the items we have collected to make pathways and such!

I have some little pinwheels in tiny pots and wooden thread spoons I painted brown for seats to go with the mushroom tables. I have sealed all of the houses with a outdoor sealer.  Here is the village outside of Lillys and Raleys playhouse! They love that its all playable!

Lillys 4th Birthday Party !!

This is the table where the kids painted the "Fairy Houses". I flipped two flower pots upside down and used wood from the workshop for the top. I have all the "Fairy Houses" set out for when the kids arrived! I was wanting to use big tree stumps the size of the pots in the pic but I could not find ANY at all. All the stumps on craigslist were rotten or you needed a chainsaw to cut them apart, and I have not learned how to use a chainsaw yet...

These are the Fairy Houses the Lilly and I painted! I put them in the middle of the table for inspiration for the girls to get started!

Concentrating on Painting her Fairy House

 Ray Painting her fairy house

They had a great time!

This was my FIRST cake that I have made from scratch! I was excited with how it turned out! I made all the flowers with gum paste! I had a fairy standing out of the middle of the cake ( it was removed in this pic) and I wanted the flowers to look like they were falling down the side of the cake and sparkler candles!!! The inside of the cake I made in layers of pink, It would have had another layer of pink but it stuck to the pan. Bummer. Lilly was really excited when she finally saw her cake because she had not seen it before I brought it out! I made it in secret! She especially loved the inside!! I also made the icing from scratch! It was so good!! The layers of cake are not the same size I just eyeballed it and tried to hurry I had limited time without Lilly seeing it.

We had pink lemonade to drink! For snacks we had Cupcake Kabbobs ( Cupcakes with icing, Marshmellows, Waffle cookies ) All kinds of yummy cookie!

Lilly loved her Birthday ! She is STILL telling me she is the Birthday girl and its halfway threw june. All the kids had a Blast, the party was supposed be from 1:00-3:00pm but did not end untill 6:pm!!

Fairy Party favors and activitys

These are the Party Favors and Activities we did.  For the Party Favors we got Pixie Sticks, Water Bottles with the kids name on them in vinyl from the cricut and Bubbles! Then the girls got to keep there Fairy Flower Halos and Wings that they wore at the party! Then during the party we painted Wooden "Fairy Houses" and Wooden "Fairies" that they took home also!

For a sec, ( Bare with me...)Jump back to this past Halloween I made a giant felt pumpkin countdown calender ( someday I will put that on here) and I put a piece of candy in a pocket for each day. But to buy the candies, I took Lilly to "Party City" and they have this huge section that is like 15 Candies for a dollar and you can use a mini shopping Basket so Lilly was really into it! So ever since then (of course its RIGHT next to Michael's, drat) she is always wanting to go into the "Candy Store"well so for her Birthday I told her we could go pick out some candies for her party! She lost it, she was so excited! We went into the "Candy Store" and she got her min shopping basket and just wandered and looked at all the candy adding to her basket as we went! Then she came across these and thought they were wonderful, so being the sweet mommy that I am I told her that if she wanted to she could pick one out for each of her friends and keep the candies in her basket for herself! That won me Mommy of the Year or at least 5min ;) It was fun and I know she had a blast!

Bubbles

I got these at Michael's for $1.00, bpa free! My mom printed them out using Vinyl from her cricut

These were the Fairy houses that I got for the kids to paint a $1.00 at Michaels or Joann's

I did these wooden Fairys for the kids to paint ! I bought the wooden ped dolls at Joanns for $1.29 for a two pack. The wings I bought at Michaels for next to nothing. Hot glued them together! Instent Fairy!

I had two boy fairies for the boys to paint and the rest girls! Boy on the left side, Girl on the right side!

I made these Flower Fairy Halo's for the girls to wear and take home. Since the girls were all different ages form 19 months to 12 years I made them so they were able to tie in the back. These were a pain to make because I thought that the wire would be best if it went THREW the flower steam part. After I made these I thought about it, I should have just bought Flower Garland and made the Halos with that!! It would have been so much easier!!

We took these to school. Because everything has to be prepackaged, I really wanted to bake cupcakes or cakepops something fun! But allergies. We tied bubble wands ( I got them at walmart I think they were 6 for a $1.00)  to them with a "Lillys 4!" scrapbook punchout. Lilly was super excited so thats all that matters! I came to class a couple mins early and snuck her out so she could put them in her classmates "mailbox" along with a picture that I had taken at the begging of class of the whole class together
