Flower problems

What does this little georgeous creature has to do with

these favourite flowers of mine???

Otto simply decapitates them every time he runs by them!!!!! He does no such thing to any of my other flowers....

Maybe the new little flowerfairy - he just had to try it on, while Anne-Sophie was away! - can do something about the problem????

My very own flower fairy

Off she went my very own flower fairy....all dressed up in the costume - so happy and content about it. Ready to begin her very last day at her school, and have a wonderful long day with fun, caramel throwing, water pistols, bowling - all ending up with a party tonight. I hope she will have a funny day to remember, although it is sad as well. My little, big girl.

All the tulle - 7 metres - was turned into a tutu over the weekend.

The tulle was cut out in lenghts - all measuring 10 cm x 70 cm. Then it was fastened to an elastic belt - only by one corner of the fabric. Side by side I put the tulle, alternating between the 4 different colours. By sewing on the tulle in only one corner, you get that fluffy, full and wonderful shape on the tutu.

We bought the wings, the fairy wand and the purple hair at a costumeshop.

So there you go - if you want to dress up as a fairy one of these days..............

Dotty giveaway

This morning I saw that my blog has been viewed more than 4000 times - a number with 3 big 000's. Big dots if you ask me the dot lover.... This calls for a little - dotty - giveaway! The dress is size 98 centilong, with buttons at the back and handmade pink buttonhole loops. Around the waist I have put a beautiful ribbon, which is reversible - green on one side, pink on the other.
The fabric is a wonderful light cotton in blue with paler blue dots......perfect for a nice summerday. I bought it right here at Små Tekstiler.
If you want to join in, just leave a little comment about why you love dots.
I will draw out the winner on Wednesday the 11th of June.
