Spring Fair

Last weekend our local Steiner School celebrated its annual Spring Fair. This was the third year that I have been asked if I would like to share a table with some VERY talented friends in the gallery space. My contribution was smaller than I might have liked but I have been kind of busy this year with my little ones!

First up I had some needle felted tooth fairy hanging pockets. I made the first of these a few months ago when A lost his first tooth. The pocket is just the right size for a coin, a crystal or two and perhaps a letter from the tooth fairy. The beautiful roving that I used to make these came from here.


I also made some folded star lanterns and two felted toadstool houses with playmats


And here is what our table looked like . . . see I told you they were talented.

Autumn Table

Summer Table



The weather was wonderful and we all had a great time at the various stalls and activities. The maypole dance was a favourite but I didn't get a photo.

I added this photo because I couldn't resist!

  3. It was so lovely meeting you in person at the fair. And your needle felted tooth fairy pockets are so gorgeous! I very nearly bought one, before I reminded myself that we are a few years away from losing teeth here! And I also love your star lanterns - so clever!! Gorgeous photo of you and Baby L :-)

    1. Thanks Kellie - likewise a pleasure to meet you and your little one. It would be my pleasure to make a tooth keeper for Dino boy when the time gets closer

  7. Hello Ronnie -- I cannot seem to find your email address so I am leaving a comment here to tell you I responded to a comment you left on my blog here (does that make any sense at all?): http://webloomhere.blogspot.com/2013/02/bye-bye-blog-tour-night-night-dolly.html?showComment=1361512310947#c1521139117637724885

    And, oh my! Such lovely cuteness over here at your blog -- the gorgeous crafts... the gorgeous children...

    Do you remember the paper-cut angels you sent me ages and ages ago? (well... over a year ago, anyhow...) I still have them hanging over my kitchen table. They are gorgeous and impart their angelic blessings over my kitchen and home. Hey! I created my entire peg doll book sitting beneath those angels... (everything except the photos, which were done downstairs -- not in the kitchen!) Perhaps I owe the niceness of the book to you and your paper-cut angels?

  8. What beautiful, colourful, happy creations! Needle felting is something I've tried quite a bit but don't seem to improve all that much, so I'm a great admirer of those who have the talent for it!

  9. Hello,
    I accidentally deleted your comment about the swaps - just wanted to let you know that it will be great if you could join. I'll announce it next week.
    Love your felt creations by the way :)
