I wanted to share my three new Fairy Tree Toppers with you :)  Their names are Annabella, Willow and Ash.  They are each one of a kind, entirely handsculpted, hand painted and dressed.  Each is approx. 12" tall, and bears a gift of holiday blessings into their new home :)

You can find them in my shop here:

Christmas Traditions?

My grandmother had a tiny thumbnail sized elf hat. We would find it at Christmas in shoes and under the sofa. It was always moving. It belonged to a shifty little elf that always popped in around Thanksgiving and couldn't manage to keep his hat on. We were always hunting for him. He was Santa's spy and when we were naughty he would rush off to keep Santa posted. The hat was eventually lost forever but the sweet memory remains.
So next to Santa's cookies will be a tiny package. Inside will be a very tiny pair of shoes for our Christmas elf this year. We are having them custom made for the elf's curly toes.

Where does a girl go for shoes under 2inches and fit for Santa's helper? I called on Etsy.com and posted a custom request. Several sellers contacted me with wonderful ideas and jumped at the chance to be part of our tradition. Princess has decided our Christmas elf is a velvet loving, sparkle diva so we chose FaerySpell Creations . Everything in the shop looks like it was gathered from dreams and spun into reality. We can't wait to see what the artist comes up with.

A different designer, blue flame , offered to do a pair of elf shoes in green leather. I am so in-love with the idea I might buy another pair of elf shoes. An elf can never have too many shoes! Thank you to everyone on Etsy that was willing to help us add an extra dash of magic to our holidays for years to come! I loved looking at all your wonderful creations.

What unique, fun or sweet thing do you do as a family?

Of course I've always loved the book--and just went to see the film and loved that too :)

So, I've been inspired to add some Where The Wild Things Are accessories to my shop--Wild Things faux fur gloves (complete with felt 'claws' :) and legwarmers:

I've been crazy busy doing LOTS of custom costuming this season (when I get finished after the weekend will post some of my favorites here :)  AND, also working on my own costume, Giselle's wedding gown from Enchanted--quite a project!--will be posting pictures of that too! :)

Wishing everyone a fun and fantastic Samhain!

Okay, well, I've decided that it's too difficult to make a decision, so I'm going to be making *both* Sarah's ballgown from Labyrinth AND Giselles wedding gown from Enchanted!

They are similar in many ways, so I'm going to be working on them both at the same time, and then once they are finished decide which one I will wear (and then I will always have the other one too--after all, a girl never has too many occasions to dress up like a princess, right?! :P

I've picked up the fabric
, and am working from these two vintage patterns, altering and combining as needed:



Also, I wanted to show off the necklace and earrings for the labyrinth gown, --there will be silver leaves added to the necklace, and the combs should be finished this weekend, I'll post them too as soon as I have pictures!

Okay, while doing research on Sarah's ballgown from Labyrinth, I found clips from the Disney film "Enchanted" and noticed that Giselle's wedding gown in that film is very similar:




Now, my dilemma is that I also watched Enchanted for the first time, and fell in love with the film!!  So...hmmm...do I want to be Sarah or Giselle for halloween?!

(I loved this dress, too...I think I'll have to make both!)

Okay, so I've decided I'm set on making Sarah's gown from the ballroom scene of Labyrinth as my halloween costume this year (and maybe wearing it to the Good Faeries/Bad Faeries ball in January, too! :)

(If anyone knows where I can get reasonably priced replicas of the headdress and jewelry, please let me know--otherwise I will be trying my hand at making those as well.)

I'm in the research stages now, and am using some pieces from two wedding gown patterns I've found that I think will make the gown as close to the the movie as possible...I'll be posting here as I go, so stay tuned!
 
Also, if any of you have made this gown and have any suggestions, tips or tricks that you would like to pass along, I'm all ears! :)

Here's the scene...enjoy!
