Greetings to all FairyFolk.  Greetings to all who live in communion or desire to integrate the wee and small pleasures into your life.  FairyAbode(c) is a seed stage passion.  The desire to do and share has been in suspended animation for 54 years with bursts of learning and expressing in 3D earth throughout.  As the snows began to fall in winter 2012, I was energetically nudged to expand from creating custom FairyAbodes to give as gifts to creating templates so others could craft the same.  What I realized though, is that my passion for empowering and guiding transformation in myself and others through therapeutic art can also be incorporated into FairyAbode.  Quickly and in perfect timing and alignment with the capacities of the Internet, I finally realized that I should and could reach many people.

No two people or Abodes will ever be the same. They reflect the desires and ingenuity of the energies put into them.  Since, I have been playing with three prototypes toward producing three base kits.  The designer (you) choose where windows, doors and even wall insets and roof-lines go.  The kits take out the logical stress of frame construction.  FairyAbode is about environmentally kind imagination and adaptation so purposely the process and guidance activates that amazing aspect within you. Then customization of the interiors and exteriors with found and re-purposed items begins.  This is a process of love and patients for yourself and the wee folk.  Throughout the journey I intend to not only show you the 'how to' craftsmanship skills in videos but to nurture your enlightenment as you proceed.  The process is wonderfully addictive.  At first visualization is enhanced.  Next you begin to notice otherwise tossed or ignored 'things' or you look at something you look at all the time and see it in a different light.  You begin to have reverence for how you and others utilize what is around you.  You start noticing the wee and collecting found or re purposed do-dads or waste.  FairyFolk appreciate your environmental stewardship by you keeping stuff out of the landfills and recognizing how intricate, inter-connected and naturally abundant our environment is.  You do not necessarily know how these odd items might be used but something draws you to say flax seeds, buttons or even pet hair.  FairyFolk are like birds building a nest.  They collect from their environment with great reverence so that their resting and communal space reflects their inner personality.  This too will be true for you.  FairyFolk need and want your help.  The therapeutic coaching offered with the kits as well as planned AbodeBuilder forums and sharing options will enhance your experience.

To give you and example of personal growth... did you know there are no mistakes?  This is true in life as well.  There is always a silver lining, always a way to gain insight and skill, always a twist that makes the mistake more formidable than the controlled process intended.  Lets say you draw and cut out your windows which should be done before decorating or erecting walls.  Then you test the set up of the two first floor walls and see that you have two windows too close to a corner.  It feels all wrong.  You are mad at yourself.  If you you have no scraps around or choose not to use scraps to replace the walls you think you just ruined, you are guided to see through different eyes.  The mistake was apparently required for you to know you are not broken and you did not mess up at all.  Now when you look you see a corner bay window rather than two windows.  The corner becomes a stylish adaptation.  When you visualize your interior walls suddenly you see how unique the interior rooms will now look.  I will help guide you in seeing possibilities.  There is always a structural or technical way to 'fix' anything but first you must lighten up on yourself and be the magical being you are. By adapting, innovating and being creative you gain confidence and your being begins to flow with more ingenuity and confidence with any presumed mistakes in life.  The FairyAbode process is transferable to life.

It is said that to know your purpose you must have passion.  A passion is something; you would do even if you were not paid, something that when you are doing it, time is not a factor, something that gives you energy rather than robbing it.  Empowering others, crafting beauty and sparking magic does this for me.  I am at seed stage on your behalf starting in isolation with nothing the traditional start up needs to succeed.  I have faith it will come into tangible being regardless.  The winter has been about learning and creating the tools needed to secure interest and sponsorship so that I my share my passion on behalf of all of you and the FairyFolk.

I am glad I chose to blueprint and craft the three basic kits.  Adjustments for you come from my mistakes.

This blog will share the story of development and morph organically into whatever it becomes.  These pictures (done on a very old digital with no photographic skills) of the Peek-a-boo kit might ignite your interest. The structure is from building site scrap. This one is completely done now so stay tuned for posts of the final creation.  Thank you for your interest in the process of bringing FairyAbode to you even though I do not seem to be ready to be cooperatively 'commercial' about this yet.
