I've been working away on the Grumpy Fairy book.

The hardest part about glittering the book pages is simply space.  The pages need to be seperated so they don't stick together, so I need to spread them all out.   Funny, that even a large studio isn't big enough…. I have one table filled with jewelry making projects, one with book pages, two with pre-bella set up, and another with an assortment of odds and ends that I am working on.

So, I've moved into the kitchen and am filling all availalbe spaces there too!  My kitchen cabinets are covered with hand dyed bottle brush trees and the dining room table has more book pages.

 My little Sugarwings and I had a fun Girl's Night, and I had plenty of opportunites to be the wicked witch.  Luckily I was wearing a hoodie, so I could pull up the hood, cackle and offer her an apple.  She'd take a bite, fall over, and I'd have to quickly switch to a Dwarf's hat (a stocking cap) and cry that Snow White was asleep and wouldn't wake up.  Miss Snow White would then lay still, looking beautiful, and trying not to giggle until her Prince Charming would kiss her face.

And who got to be Prince Charming? Twinkle.  She was happy to lick Sugarwings face every time Snow White would lay down on the floor. 

About 40 times.  I think the movie was  a hit with her.  Usually, we play Wizard of Oz over and over. But now, my flying monkey arms might get a break for a while, maybe we'll play Snow White instead of Dorothy for a bit. 

Back to my tables full of piles, and piles…..

  1. Love the view of all your tables. Looks like santa’s workshop to me.
    Snow White is so adorable. And Twinkle as Prince charming , that is a hoot. And you, Karla, should win an Oscar for your dual role as The wicked Witch and a dwarf.
    Just think of the wonderful memories you are making for Sugarwings.

  2. Love your pretty little bottle brush trees. Wonderful colors. Sugarwings is adorable in her Snow White outfit. Sea Witch

  3. Lol! You’re living my life, only yours is neater! I have a small studio upstairs – only it’s a mess, I’ve taken over the dining room (which I love working in) – it’s a mess, and today I moved onto the kitchen island – it’s an organized project, whew! Tomorrow I must do something about my messes!

  5. Love the picture of Sugarwings White! She matches so well they look like big and little sisters. Did Twinkle like the doll too?
    It looks like Christmas hit your house early with all the trees everywhere. Good luck with the book and Silver Bella assemblages.

  6. LOL How cute. I can just imagine yoou with the apple, Sugarwings taking a bite and and falling. Now this is the kind of play/having fun I would like for little ones 🙂 What a way for the imagination to play with.

    p.s I wonder if spanners might be the same as a wrench? Not sure. I meant to google but haven’t got round to it. A face like a bag of wrenches wouldn’t sound as funny though! xx
