Spring is on its way and there is nothing more magical for little girls than a fairy garden. Would you like to know how to make a cheap fairy tea set the Butterfly Lullaby way and much more?
I will start by showing you how to make a fairy spoon.
Here is a video of me making a Butterfly Lullaby fairy spoon. You can use any sort of materials you like. But if you would like to know what I used…
Monica from London Mums inspired me to have a go at selling some of my dolls costumes on Ebay. So this sunny Saturday I have started with the Draculaura bat mask, which is designed, handmade and hand painted by me, Sharon J.Bainbridge.
I have signed the back and numbered them. Who will get No.1 and 2?
Here is the ebay listing if you want to get it:

Who knows these little masks may…
My little girl’s homework last weekend was to create a poster about Fairtrade. I think she did a great job. The only thing that was missing was we ran out of time to write about child slavery and how they are mistreated by farmers.
Did you know that the farms get only 5% whilst the trader gets 70%. This results in child slavery where children are forced to work for nothing. I love…
Yesterday I was trying to create a butterfly pattern for the Bratz doll to sell on Ebay, when it all went horribly wrong (or did it?). The butterfly mask ended up looking like a bumblebee. As I am one of those fluke people who just goes with the flow, I thought oh well, I may as well make a bumblebee costume pattern instead.
The great thing about this pattern/kit idea is that is it child…
Little Snowflake comes up with the most amazing little character ideas. There she was sitting in the kitchen blowing up balloons. I was just washing up and then suddenly she said “Mummy what do you think of this?” There before my eyes I saw two balloons stuck to each other. One little and one big! It looked like a balloon bomb.
She then got hold of the black marker pen and started to…
Saturday morning I was playing around with one of my little girl’s Bratz Dolls. I had read Monica’s write-up about Tanith Carey’s book “Where has my little girl gone?” And I felt a sense of relief that a Mother had published such a powerful message to give hope for change for our little girls future. The Bratz doll was mentioned and I felt it was time to change this…
This photograph of Cleo De Nile, who is one of the Monster High Dolls, is wearing my very own Cleopatra costume, which I made for my daughter’s friends’ birthday. I asked her Mother this week what she would like and she gave me the Monster High dolly.
I have to admit I adore Egyptian history and have always been drawn to Cleopatra through her beauty and sheer confident presence.
The above Dracula bat dress, bat wings, bat mask and cobweb hat was something I made recently for my little girl’s dolly who is called Draculaura (Monster High Doll.)
This doll reminds me of the old days when I was a goth. Yes I know, best hide those photographs from my little girl as we do not want her following in Mummy’s footsteps! Funny thing is the costume I made for myself when…

When I was looking through the London Mums’ blogs I came across Tanith Carey’s amazing book called “Where has my little girl gone?” I am so excited about this book and hope it creates the change we need to protect our little girls from our plastic world.
Here is a video of my little girl de-Bratzing her Bratz doll into a Holly Blue Butterfly. I tried to mix up some paint…
