Snail Fairy

This Snail Fairy mama is the guardian of the snails in our garden.

She polishes the snail shells and helps to repair the shells that are damaged. In return the snails offer her their used snail shells and let her ride on their back. My son loves to polish snail shells with olive oil to help the Snail Fairies.

Download the tutorial for the basic Fairy pattern here and for the baby here. For the headdresses and baby crib you can go on a treasure hunt with your child and search in your garden for empty snail shells. I am always amazed by the beauty and diversity of the shells.

Have a lovely slow weekend my friends.....

Colourful Weekend!

My mother is visiting us today, she is playing with M in the garden and I have some hours for myself. But for some reason I just have to stay close to the two of them. There is so much warmth and love between them. I could sit here all day and watch them play together....
To me there is nothing more satisfying than quietly observing the ones I love.

I am taking it slow today and it feels wonderful!

Wishing you all a warm colourful weekend, take care xxx
