ONE OF THOSE LONG PROJECTS

We all have them

Projects that have no end motive other than the

pure delight of creating

And they can take weeks or months

because they are such a labor of love

At least that is my thinking on it.

Several months ago I pulled out one of my little

wooden birdhouses purchased with the intent

of creating........a faerie house, of course.

I painted it pink and let it sit for a while

and then every few days I would pick it up before bedtime

and add a little more..

and a little more...

and then I could not stop...

Until it was so blinged out

that even Mr. J. looked wide eyed at it

and exclaimed..

"You think it's a little much?"

"WHAT?"....."I'm still in Marie Antoinette mode...NOTHING is too much!"

Well, weeks later I am finished (I think)

I believe I have enough rhinestones,

flowers,

and glittered lace

It measures 6 1/2 " tall.

Now that it's finished.........

it may head to the shop....

and I am thinking I will start a Tiffany blue one.

Finished constructions date....likely January or February

One can build a full sized home in that amount of time out here.

Rella, I just love it. You really are super creative. I know what you mean about taking a while to do a project. I am like that too. In fact, I think the waiting in between helps my ideas grow.
Anyways, this little bird house is adorable, and perfect.
Hugs,
Terri

What a fun idea, making a faerie house! And your faerie is so sweet, and I love her "blinged out" house. Positively dreamy.
Thanks for sharing.

Happy Friday!

Hey! This is great!!! Too much?!? MOL - of course it's not too much until YOU say it's too much. Silly human boys! That's why they don't create like this, they simply wouldn't get it! It's beautiful!

Purrs!
