The fairies

During our travels in Queensland we were able to spend a week with our daughter, Janelle, and her husband. Craig and their four children.

Amelia had put in her order for a Fairy party for her 4th birthday but her wings were looking decidedly ‘spent’ and wouldn’t be flying her off anywhere. A quick trip to Spotlight for some sparkly netting and a few hours trying to negotiate wire around the sewing machine and we soon had her looking her ‘fairy best’.


Then we realised that big 5 year old sister. Ebony, would also need a fairy outfit for the party. A search through Janelle’s stash found some lovely shiny purple fabric for a skirt and with some more manoeuvring of wire around the sewing machine, the fairy had her wings.

Don’t you think they both look so cute?

Regards
Val

Hi Mum
Of course they look very cute... I'm biased!! Thanks for doing a great job with the wings. I've seen the skirts and wings on a a few times since then!
