WOYWW#95- the weird life of the fairy

Already most of my WOYWW- what's on your work desk wednesday is gone- feeding these new little furry faces that arrived yesterday!!
Having now washed off the slobber and stinky baby cow poo odour , I'm now into the craft room for a visit from my friend- she wants to get first dibs on my goodies I'm about to sell
I'm holding a craft sway meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish all you could all come!!! 
I have SO MUCH stuff and desperately ready to move it on.
So for any locals it will be 

Saturday 30th April
9am to 2 pm 
at Mumz beez neez craft shop 69 Strelley street Busselton light industrial area.
come and get a bargain!!
OR if you'd like a stall I still have a few spaces available- clean out your cupboards and MAKE SOME CASH!!!!
email me unicorndesign@westnet.com.au for details

Thanks to everyone who visited last week and for your comments,
sadly Capel fest was a bit of a downer the usual 10,000 people i think were down to about 5,000- it was so hot no one was in the mood for buying :-(
not to worry- have a craft fair to organise!!

have a fairy happy day xxxL
New babies havent been on a cow before- fun times teaching them to suck!!

HOW cute are my new babies- 3 for Daisy May- and 3 for Hurdie Gertie

Hurdy gertie is SO not impressed with having to get used to new calves- this is her "first" multisuckle group- she's not happy about the newbies in the shed!

Ahh back to normality- notice anything different??? a bit more space and less cluttered?? YES i am cleaning out all my stuff and hosting a craft swap meet!!

This is a tiny amount of what i have to get rid of- all brand new straight from the manufacturer

Have swapped around my scraps and papers- got rid of ones that I'm "over"

So happy to have moved on a lot of my punches to a good friend who will get heaps of use from them.

WOYWW#93 busy fairy fun

WOYWW?
what's on your work desk wednesday???
me- have been fairy busy making new stock for ebay- as fast as i've been listing items they have been finding new homes.
It's so satisfying to sell the things that i love and find them hard to let go
but the upside is that my pieces tend to gravitate to special people who love them even more than i do!!

SO onto this weeks desk-
new bo bunny papers came in this week- I have the clear stamps and trinkets on back order
there's a wedding album i need to finish
as well as a black and red butterfly album i finished late last night to list in my ebay store
there's also a vintage pink friendship box with an album and a gizillion tags which i'll be showing off soon.
And a couple of packages to ship off to the post office.
thats my day- what's on your work desk today???

Affirmation Tag box- latest ebay offering


This special box I have hand created with 13 affirmation tags. Every single piece is original handmade and one of a kind.
I have had a fascination with boxes since watching the movie “House of the spirits”. Where Winona Ryder opens her mothers amazing box full of treasures, keepsakes and memories. I love that thought of having all your memories and precious things hidden away to give to someone special. It is something that has stayed with me and moved into my creative heart!
This is my latest offering a beautiful box is full of symbolic stamped images, quotes and embellishments.

I tend to use a lot of butterflies and dragonflies in my spiritual creations. As butterflies symbolize energy of love and joy! In ancient mythology the butterfly stands for wisdom and everlasting knowledge. Butterflies are also transient and symbolize change!
My special box is 12cm long by 6cm wide and 6cm deep. I have decorated it outside AND IN. There is a gorgeous heart charm on the front with a silver feather and small heart hanging from it.
All the tags are hand stamped and the quotes are heat embossed, distressed and beautifully finished with ribbons, fibers and braid.
The 13 tags range from
10x6cm to 4.5x4cm.
It comes tied with a soft purple organza and satin ribbon.

Quotes include

“Sometimes fate & your dreams can collide” 

“ Yesterday is gone,
Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only Today
Let us begin!”

“ Wishing you sunshine”

“ If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together,
Keep me in your heart,
I’ll stay there forever”

 A perfect to give as a gift to spiritually minded friends and family. Or if it touches your heart keep it for yourself!

 Keep an eye out for my next ORIGINAL OOAK creation!
Fairy blessings to you and thank you for looking.

Purple butterfly paper bag album - latest listing



Here is my latest offering for ebay!!
Purple butterfly memories and moments album or journal.

I have been thinking about a few friends who are near and dear to me, fighting as well as recovering from cancer.
As i was making this album i was thinking that it would be a perfect gift for someone who is going through such a recovery. 
I chose butterflies as they symbolize the energy of love and joy!I wanted something uplifting but also soothing.I use butterflies a lot in my spiritual work..
In ancient mythology the butterfly stands for wisdom and everlasting knowledge. Butterflies are also transient and symbolize change.Some cultures consider then good luck!! 
And the colour purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of spiritual fulfillment. It is the colour of peace, symbolizes magic and mystery but is also energizing!
So i hope this album finds the perfect home




WOYWW#92

My studio today is a bit eclectic- I've just had a  shipment of glow in the dark mushrooms, dragons and other assorted fairy stuff come in ready for my fairy van. So the mushies are sitting on my desk ready for pricing.
Apart from that it's all rather a jumbled mess, i have been doing my 2009- 2010 cash books - yes i know i am REALLY behind!! But now it;s my accountants problem to sort it all out. LOL!

You'll see another purple album here too and i think i've over purple for a while!
Next on the list of things to do is some pretty pink gratitude  and friendship boxes-.
There's an order ready to pack and post and an art journal i need to finish for ebay.
I'm not looking at the pile of canvas's either, which all need doing!!

well thats me for desk #92
happy woyww!!
Want to join in the fun??
