Hello Strangers

Hi there friends of The Fairies Nest. I know that I've been much absent from the blog of late... I've been spending a LOT of time relearning how to cook after a recent diagnosis of gluten intolerance and I can tell you there has been a pretty sharp learning curve.  It's been particularly difficult for someone who loves to cook as much as I do. But since my health is so much better these days, I really can't complain too much. Besides, learning new things is supposed to help us stay young...right? At this rate I'll be a teenager before long...

But these days I'm back to making dolls again and here are a couple that I recently added to the shop..
a little merchild


and a couple of Flower Pixies

I'm finally making a dark Alice too. I know I've been talking about it for so long that it seemed like I never would, but I promise I started on her just today! Also in the works are several of the larger fairies, a large Rapunzel, and of course a smattering of assorted pixies...oh and since Spring will soon be here...Bunnies will have to be made. Wow that's a long list...I better get busy. So check back because I promise to be updating here on at least a weekly basis...see you soon!
