Win a fairy bag kit

These are the  little Flower Fairy bags that I made for my grandchildren. They will hold a surprising number of those small toys that children love to hold.
The green bag is for Benjamin. I used little boy fairies and a masculine-looking lining so that he won't feel too embarrassed to carry his cars and dinosaurs around in it!

I have put together a complete kit: fairy panels, batting, lining, trim and cord, together with simple instructions for making the bag.  Why not start the New Year with a small project? Just leave a comment here, stating whether you would like girl or boy fairies and I will get Millie to pick out a winner when she comes for her Christmas visit.

  9. Maureen, in case you don't see it on my blog, Sarah said the trick to royal icing is to add baking glycerine instead of lemon juice. Lemon juice makes it harden too quickly.

    Thanks to you and to Sarah for the tip. Last year I didn't ice the cake at all but used edible gold glitter. It looked fantastic.

  11. Hello Maureen
    Love the look of those little fairy bags - and I'm confident the youngsters are going to love them as well
    Now I'm sure you will be busy preparing for the visit of your little one so I'll pass on the fruit cake and coffee (or stronger lol) however I just popped in to say Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. Hoping all your dreams come true in 2011
    Take care
    Cathy
