Fairy gardens are just so darn cute! Large or small, you and your kids can create a tiny world to spark their imagination. Plus, it gets kids outside and learning about plants! I've got two examples of fairy gardens we've made, including a fairy house from sticks, bark, and scraps, a sign, and a birdbath. A list of the plants we used is also included.

I grew up having an almost authentic Austrian Christmas in Australia....... only the cold and snow were missing! We celebrated on Christmas Eve, our gifts were brought by Kristkindl, and my mum made it a very special, mystical celebration. There was no tinsel or tacky trees, oh no, we had a very life like (though artificial) fir tree, wooden and glass ornaments and real candles burning on the tree - in 40 degree heat! Mum made or bought all our gifts but I believed for years that Kristkindl brought them all! For the first nine years of our parenthood, the Best Man and I lived on my parents property and we all celebrated Christmas together. Then when we moved a long way away and had our own Christmas with just our children, I wanted to find an idea for a special tradition for our little family - and so our Secret Person gift idea was born! I decided that we would put all our names in a hat, each of us would draw a name and then make something for our Secret Person. When we had lots of littlies, I mostly knew who had who because I was always called upon for ideas and help. But as they have gotten older and able to think and do for themselves, I have had some lovely surprises, seeing what they come up with!! Last Christmas, our then 15 year old son, Remo, made a really spectacular gift for our Fairy Girl who is completely enraptured with all things gnomey, fey and ethereal. He spent days in the shed painstakingly putting together the special gift you see here in the photos. Made from a birch branch found in the local birch forest (yes we have an old birch plantation near us - it's beautiful) and using pine rounds for the stairs, and old wardrobe walls for the platforms, it stands about 70cm high. I really LOVE that it's all made from repurposed or found materials! I think he ran out of time and didn't putty the screw holes in the top storeys but she doesn't seem to mind! Shown here without any accessories, due to it having been dragged outside for a clean and a photo shoot! I think it needs another wax and polish too! I first saw a very nice gnome home here and mentioned it to R last June, just before Miss Fairys birthday, but he was too busy. Then inspiration struck when he picked her name from the Christmas hat, and off he went! Yes, I knew about this gift because he needed a bit of input but I am so pleased how he put it all together and how much effort was put into it. If you have a doting big brother in your home (or a big sister), and maybe if you show them this post you might end up with a fancy timber gnome residence for your little one too!!

To me the most amazing gardening and landscaping concepts are those which make use of the existing natural features of a property. A lot of people spend a ridiculous amount of money and effort to

finally, i got to watch gnomeo & juliet. one of the problems with losing one's only daughter to college, and then life, is one is left home alone with a husband and 16-year-old son. and a movie venue of titles like "transformers 27" or "too fast for brains." normally i don't care, i go into my studio & plug in my ipod to drown out the squealing tires and the "yo, man, whasssup's?" and i get a lot done. but i really wanted to see this movie. come on, yard gnomes AND elton john??? it's already won all my awards. so i snuck. i figured out how to turn on the son's playstation, navigated my way to the netflix thing, and requested gnomeo. when it got here, i snuck it into the dvd player before the boys got home from work. they never saw it coming. best of all, when they realized what was coming, gerry fell asleep and cullan went to shoot zombies, so i got the comfy recliner chair all to myself. oh yeah. if you've seen the movie you know about the toilet planter with the wisteria bush. i was enthralled because i have this: i know, it isn't wisteria, but we've already talked about my gardening skills. at one point it was full of johnny jump-ups (i loved the pun) but the slugs won that battle as well. so i loved the movie. had a wonderful evening watching it. when it was over i was consumed with guilt at having separated my two pink plastic flamingos a couple years ago. i trudged outside in the rain in my jammies and gerry's work boots, retrieved them both and reunited them in a romantic little hideaway.

I'm not sure about those of you with girls, but our girls love fairies. At Grandma's house there is a fairy room (she was inspired years ago for the grandkids to come). But they started to really love fairies when their other Grandma gave them "Secret Of The Wings" for Christmas last year. It was a hit from the git. They love watching Periwinkle and Tinkerbell and all of her friends. I actually don't mind watching it with them. It's really cute and there's not a whole lot to fast forward. Vidia is a bit grumpy but we can talk through some of those parts and turn it into a lesson. So we got hooked on all of the Tinkerbell movies. "The Great Fairy Rescue" inspired this little fairy house project. I love the house that Lizzy made in the movie. She handled it with such care and now I know why. They aren't so simple to put together. It took some hours to gather the fixin's with the kids and create. With Spring on its way, it will be an ongoing project including it in the garden. SUPPLIES Wood Structure - Birdhouse, or gazibo Small Saw Brown Paint Sponge Brush Scissors/Garden Cutters - Tough ones that can cut sticks Twine Hot Glue Gun and Glue Fixin's - Sticks. Pinecones. Leaves. Nuts. Acorns. Snail Shells. Pods Rocks PROCESS 1. I wanted a structure that they could actually use and have their fairies walk into so I needed something that was larger than a standard $1 birdhouse. I opted for a gazibo-like birdhouse from Joann's (although, I can't find it online). I also wanted wood so it wouldn't rot out too quickly. 2. Saw out one support post for a larger door and entrance. 3. Paint it brown so it blends well with the sticks and outdoors. My daughter loves painting so this was a good time to include her. 4. Measure one stick against the structure and snap or cut it down to size. If it's a bigger stick, you can score the stick with the scissors and then use the counter edge (if it's a tough material) to help snap it in half. 5. Cut a lot of sticks that same size. I probably used about 60 sticks. 6. Start gluing the sticks with the hot glue gun next to eachother, side by side. If they don't meet up perfectly, no worries, you can add another layer of sticks to fill in the gaps. 7. Between two posts, you can create a window by adding two small sticks horizontally and building the sticks on that wall up to the window. 8. With the wall in place all the way around there should be a large gap where the one support post was sawed out. This is for the door. 9. Take apart a large pinecone and cut off the raw eges of each "shingle". 10. Starting at the bottom of the roof, hot glue each shingle on, side by side, all the way around. Layer by layer until you reach the top. 11. Near the top, I left a space for some bark chunks to be glued into place. And then some rope bits around the "chimney". This was originally a hole in the top of the ball that held the rope loop in place. Later, I'll turn that into a more interesting chimney with acorns and stuffing for smoke. 12. For the door, I tied a large piece of twine around the last stick on the left of the large opening. One at the top and one at the bottom. I tied the knot in the center of the large piece of twine, leaving two even long strands. These are used to connect each stick to eachother creating a large swinging door. If you run out of twine, no worries, just tie on a new piece of twine and secure the knots with hot glue. 13. The last stick needs to connect to the stick on the right of the large opening. With the left over twine, I knotted the remaining until it was near the end and then a connected the top and bottom with a button. I'm actually probably going to redo this part because I'm not sold on how it turned out. But it works for now, the door closes. Not shown: Insert some moss inside on the floor. Any wood parts that are still exposed can have leaves glued to hide them. You can then make a mini pillow, blanket, even a treasure box to carry the fairy items to the play area. My hope is to create a little fairy garden within our garden, so that it is surrounded by plants, dirt and a little rock path. Maybe make a little postbox, fairy sign for the door and some furniture. I've seen all kinds of cute fairy house fixings out there so the ideas are endless. That's why this project may go on for a while. Once we get into the garden, I'll update. Welcome Fairies!
