September 9th 2015 - rock house

A few weeks back my lil man found 2 leprechauns in a charity shop.  They were salt & pepper pots but he asked if he could have them for his fairy garden.  I bought them and put glue in the holes, touched up the bit that was chipped with nail varnish and off he went with them to the garden.

I didn't think much more about them but last week he said to me that his leprechauns needed a house as the fairies and gnomes all have  houses.  I asked him what sort he wanted and he said made from rock like some of those outside but must be green and have a rainbow on it as leprechauns are found near rainbows.

I have an assortment of rocks in the garden that we have found as we cleared it etc so I foun 1 that was sort of rock house shaped and set about drawing bits on it - windows and doors and flowers, a roof and a rainbow on the back.  I then set about painting it.  It looks really good and lil man is pleased with it.  He asked me to put silver sparkle nail varnish over the rainbow so it looks magical.  So out came the nail varnish again (1 day I will do a post on my many uses of nail varnish lol), and I i it.  All I need to do is varnish it.

I will add a photo during day light so it looks better.
