fireplace for the fairy house

No work today so I played around with my fairy village project. I made this fireplace to go in one of my fairy houses. It's just made with a chunk of styrofoam that Kelly painted black for me. Then I tore up one of those cardboard drink carriers into small pieces & glued them onto the styrofoam. Glued on a strip of wood for a mantel and used some scrapbook paper that looked like old brick for the bottom. I dry brushed a bit of black onto the stones too. I know it's too tall that's why I left some at the top unfinished. It will be cut to the right size. As soon as the cork dries that I put down on the floor, I will be able to put it in place. I need to work on this project a little more often. I think I need a picture to hang above the mantel.

More fairy garden

I've got one seriously bad headcold going this weekend.

Luckily Tammi said she would cook the meatloafs for the birthday party tonight. And Bonnie told Tammi she would help too. Thank goodness!

I can't lay down or my head fills like it will explode, so decided I would piddle around on the fairy house awhile.

I was wondering if I would be able to get some color in this village, with all the natural stuff I want to use. (I've got to have some color and glitz) But I don't think I'll have a problem after doing this livingroom wall. I wallpapered it in some silk fall leaves. The other walls are little sticks glued on (taking forever).

Last weekend we cleaned up the yards and put things away for the winter. Angie brought the waterfalls in from outside that I'm going to use in the fairy village. It's bigger than I remembered, but it will do. We also discovered that it got a crack in it from the cold last winter. So it will need fake water.

Think I'm going to go soak in a hot steamy bath. Maybe that will help clear my head.
