A new fairy painting




Hi Guys

This week I have been working on this new painting which I decided to make for some neighbours of ours, this lovely couple that live just around the corner have just had a little girl of their own. We don't know them too well but when we had our son Riley they heard about our new addition and brought round lots and lots of frozen home made meals for us which in the end came in very handy as we were so sleep deprived. It was such a lovely thought that I was very touched by as we really didn't know them. So when I heard about their new addition I immidiately wanted to paint them something special for the baby's room.

So here she is I hope they like her :0)

    Nicola she is toooo cute! This is such a sweet thing to have done! I know I would have been thrilled to have someone think of me and make me something special for my new little one.
    I really love how cute she sits up on her little toadstool.

    Fun

    She's so pretty- I'm sure they'll love her! I would have loved it if someone had done that for us when our daughters were born. Very sweet of you! :)
