Want a Peek at My Fairy Garden?




I have waited all summer to get this Fairy Garden to come to life..First, I waited for the tree stump to get transformed into the Fairy House. It still isn't painted but that will come eventually.  And I am waiting for the window frames to get made and nailed on. Gotta have windows, right?   I waited to plant/make the garden until after the roof was made and installed as I was afraid the garden would get stepped on and messed up. And then it was soooo hot, that I knew it would be useless to plant or transplant the foliage, we have finally had some cooler weather...So last week a friend came over and "we" planted, designed and fussed around and the fairy garden came to a reality!! Yeah, I'm so happy!! I have been collecting little things for several months and have been gifted with a few of the items too. Once you start thinking about something like this, a person is always on the lookout for "stuff" to go in the garden. I finished it off with coco bean hull mulch, oh yummy, that smelled like chocolate for the first several days and then I put the rocks around the border. I had a few rocks but had to beg a few from a friend and she was gracious enough to let me have some of hers.  Aren't friends the greatest? I still have a few more things that I want to do but there is always next year, I hope. Sew until next time, I hope the fairies are dancing in our gardens and I hope everyone has a Stitches kind of day...

Notice the 3 gazing balls,birdhouse, birdbath and the big ceramic mushroom

  3. Oh! This is so awesome! I have been contemplating a fairy garden for a little over a year now. I have been thinking about it and haven't quite figured out how I'd do it yet. So, I LOVE seeing what you're doing! Did you build the house yourself? Did you plant "fairy" plants? I've seen in the plant store some very smallish plants they use for this.

  6. Great looking garden. My husband helped me put my Gnome garden in. And of course it is always a work in progress. Love your ideas. Don't know if you can see mine on FB or not.

  7. Love your fairy garden. I put together a Gnome garden with the help of my husband. I think they are always a work in progress because you can change things around by the seasons. Love it and they are so much fun. Thanks for sharing.
