Make Whimsical Paper Chain Fairies

Paper Chain Fairies

Here is the PDF pattern for you to download to make your own Paper chain Fairies.

(Note: Make sure you scale up the PDF for printing :)

Last weekend we had lots of fun decorating the girl’s bedroom windows with fairy paper chains.

 

First we traced one of the fairies from the PDF image onto the top edge of a piece of paper .

 

Then we folded the paper into a concertina and cut out the selected areas, taking care not to cut through the wing joins.

 

Now for the fun part...

 

Opening out your paper chain...

 

These little paper chain fairies look really pretty draped from the window.

 

 

Rabbit tales

I caught me a wabbit !!!



I'm going to kiss him and love him and cuddle him and kiss him and...

Weekending

On Satuarday we attended a friend's lovely wedding. I drank far to much champagne.

...Had a wonderful time.

My favorite parts were watching a lovely elderly couple jiving on the dance floor to some 50's rock 'n' roll.

I love how us reserved English people really let their hair down at weddings!

Another very beautiful moment was when we went out into the garden to light chinese lanterns.



Watching the lanterns we lit twinkle into the inky blue distance was very poignant and moving.

Small glowing carriers of hopes, dreams and wishes.

 Up, Up to the stars and beyond.

Sunday needed to be chilled and stilled.

We broke open the scrap fabric stash :)

Matilda learned chain stitch and french knots. Two most perfect flower making stitches.





We have the kindest friends you know. Friends who bring us big baskets of lovely fresh greens from their allotments and gardens!!!



There is almost nothing more refreshing than mint leaf tea.



Tani took the girls for a run on the grass.



These two are building a really special bond.



Good friends.

Sisters.




Belatedly joining Amanda @ "the habit of being" for weekending.
