Selena, you know you want it...

Here is a sneak peek since it isn't finished yet. I have to solder in the glass for the door, I added a doorbell and clothesline, I need to get a tiny pulley (if I can find one) for a bucket for the fairies to pull things up with, knit a hammock and of course I need to build some stairs but I want them to be from a branch so that involves more hunting.

The base is a circle of wood covered in felted wool with a needle felted fairy ring on it. I want to add another level at the back because it looks a bit bare on one side I think we will dye some silks this week so the fairies have so pretty foliage. OOH! Stacey needs to come here so I can use her stamps and stamp foliage. I may sell that idea...

I forgot to mention that I unscrewed the stump from the working base and discovered that it was rotted a bit in the center. I was thrilled because obviosuly it needed to be hollowed out and the chainsaw has been calling my name

Forget Selena.. *I* want it. (and no, I don't want it for my kids, it'd be mine, all mine!)

if you're ever up for figuring out a trade, lmk. Of course, I'd probably faint if you were, but a girl can dream, right?

It is HUGE! Maya is 39 inches tall and if you look at the other post with her beaside it you can see it's size.

I feel bad though because how am I ever going to find anything like this for Lily?
