The Winner's Grumpy Fairy

The winner has now received her grumpy fairy (shown above) and I hope it will make her happy!  I have been busy making more bracelets and some pendants and should be ready to stock my shop again in a few days time.

Grumpy Fairies on Etsy

I wasn't sure whether to list these on etsy but as a few people had shown interest in buying them I thought I would do so.  I am selling them in twos -  that way they can have a companion to grump along with. 

If you would like to have a look they are listed here.https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/168694807/two-grumpy-fairy-decorations?ref=shop_home_active

Why not use them as a Christmas tree decoration or as a luxurious gift tag for someone special?  They are sure to bring a smile to even the most grumpiest of grumps!

Today the weather has been glorious - cold but sunny with a clear blue sky.  Just my kind of weather.   I really needed that boost of sunshine after so many dank and dismal days.  I am feeling energised and positively sunny on the inside.  I hope you are too. x

We Have a Winner!

Thank you for all the lovely comments about the grumpy fairies.  I know they are not to everyones taste but grumpy fairies are so more exclusive than the ones that just want to preen and look pretty! 

I wrote down the names of everyone that commented on the giveaway post and if you commented on the following post I wrote your name down again.  I screwed the pieces of paper into tiny balls and placed them in a small box.  My intention was to throw the contents of the box up into the air and catch one by hand.  Unfortunately I didn't catch any (was never any good at catching games) but just one piece of paper landed back in the box.  The name on that paper was TOFFEEAPPLE, such an apt name for this time of year!  So Toffeeapple if you would like to email me with your details and colour preferences for your fairy I will get one made up and pop in the post to you.

Grump-Fest of Fairies

I have added a few more grumpy fairies to the collection.  Securely attached to their presentation card with the grumpy poem.  Now people can know why the fairies look so disgruntled!

After making so many angry faces I decided on a 'happy' fairy.  She caused me so many problems especially with trying to keep the wings fixed and I am sure that her smile was quite sinister at times!

I am going to give the fairy making a break whilst I concentrate on making some bracelets.  After so many attempts on trying to finish them off, I think I've cracked it.

Another Grumpy Fairy

The fairy is grumpy because of all things

She wasn't given a pair of wings

She tried to fly with a leap and a bound

But soon came crashing to the ground

The fairy folk told her what they had learnt

Wings weren't just given they had to be earned

Be good and be kind said the wise old crow

And before you know it your wings will grow

Grumpy Fairy Giveaway

I had great fun making this pipe cleaner fairy decoration.  No saccharin sweet smile for her though - I forgot to give her wings so she is very grumpy.  Instead of flying up into the trees she has to climb them the hard way!

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning a grumpy fairy then please leave a comment here and I will tailor make one especially for you in the colours of your choice (according to my supplies)!  She is only about 3 inches tall (7.5 cm) and is not suitable for small children.. She is for display purposes only.
