Sprinkler Fun
You can go to those expensive amusement parks,
and you can go for a swim in a swimming pool,
but nothing beats little kids and a sprinkler.
It is hot and parched down here in Texas.
Everyone's staying inside in the air conditioning,
but if your gonna be outside, get wet.
How about stomping your feet in the rain!!!
I know you ask, "what rain"?
Don't worry about the kids clothes getting muddy
or about them tracking mud into the house,
let them have fun, why not join them.

Fairy Skirt
How to make a Fairy Skirt without sewing
and you just unroll it and cut it to your desired lenght.
I cut it at an angle to give it a wispy fairy look.I used Matte Tulle-Dusty Rose and Sparkle Tulle-Apple green.
My granddaughters waist is 21" and I gave her 24" ties
so I cut a piece of ribbon 69" long. I wanted the skirt lenght
to be right at her knees, so from her waist to her knees is
10", I added 2 " for the knot and it will be folded at the center
so my tulle needs to be 22" long, tip to tip. Since the pink is matte
and the green sparkles, the green over powered the pink so
I tied on 2 pink to 1 green. Fold the ribbon in half and place the
fold under the ribbon. Take the tulle ends and fold them over
the ribbon and through the fold at the other end.
Pull the ends until the tulle tightens around the ribbon but
not so tight that it scrunches the ribbon. But wait, every fairy
needs wings, a crown and a wand...back to the craft room.
