At the beginning of September, Sharon started cracking the whip about scarecrows. We like them completed by the first of October. Our theme this year is Fairy Tales.
Sharon was the first one to get started. This is very unusual. She prods everyone else, but is usually the last to get one completed.
Here are Hansel and Gretel. They haven't found a place to stand up yet, so are leaning in pots.
The gingerbread house - a work in progress. Painting all the candy is time-consuming.
We decided to do Snow White and 7 Dwarfs. Instead of making all the dwarfs, we are using some concrete gnomes we already own and costuming them to become dwarfs. This was
so easy. Just cut some felt, add one staple and a piece of ribbon.
All of our work just exhausted Iris, who had to catch a nap on the Gingerbread Man.
It was a perfect afternoon to spend making fairy gardens. The rain was pattering down outside and a nice rain it was. Slow and steady! 
The girls did such a nice job on their gardens.
