Here's a little fellow I made around Midsummer's Eve-June 21st. He's stands about 5 inches tall and he's needle felted with a pipe cleaner armature. He sits in a nest among some found eggshells, a butterfly and some blown eggs collected from my doves.
My kids and I love to read stories all about how the fairies stay up all through that short Midsummer's night and dance and play. The kids build the fairies little houses and leave out a little something for them to eat. This year we baked tiny little cinnamon rolls which they presented to the fairies on little leaf plates. The fairies usually leave a little something for the kids in return-a pretty polished stone or a poem or a small gift. This year the fairies found a couple very old pennies somewhere out in the yard and they left them for the kids among half eaten tiny rolls. How nice of them!

Hi Angie,
Both Mary and Clarice mentioned your blog today. It's off to a lovely start.
I like this little fellow very much, and the doll you've made for your friend.
I have a little felted gnome made by a blog friend so I've seen close up how wonderful such creations are and impressed with the patience it takes to make them.
Best wishes!
What a great doll! I look forward to visiting you often, found you by way of Clarice.
