Well, about a month and a half ago Anne got a "save the date" card in the mail, announcing The Fairy Queen's first annual Tea Party. Ever since then I've been trying to figure out what kind of fairy costume I could make for Anne to wear. After all, when you're invited to the Fairy Queen's Tea Party you should be sure to wear your fairy best!
I finally found a fairy picture I thought might be fun to copy. (I really love the Christmas ornaments and cards by Patience Brewster. She's great!) Once I found something I liked my mind got busy figuring out how I could pull it off. I couldn't even fall asleep. I know. I'm a nerd. But this was a lot of fun for me.
It took quite a while to make--doing and undoing, and figuring everything out. I was putting the finishing touches on the wings up to about a half an hour before the party, but it all worked out.
As you can imagine, Anne had a hard time waiting the month and a half till the date finally arrived. She was so excited! Here is my little fairy--
Some of the guests with the Fairy Queen! What a great party!!!
Can't you just see her excitement??!
It was a fabulous party!! They learned fairy manners and told everyone else what kind of fairy they were and their name. They made fairy wands and fairy crowns. They ate fairy food (Anne says "strawberry treats and muffins and chocolates"), and had lemonade-- Wonderful day!!
