small figures, pixies, fairies, kind of christmas tree decoration size, to decorate a log in a kind of magical forest way? [sound of penny dropping] or have I just answered my own question - use xmas tree decorations?

try www.hobby.uk.com or www.handyhippo.co.uk

Argh, I have a catalogue somewhere with just the sort of thing you are looking for in it but can't find it or remember the name ... iirc it is based in a swedish/norwegian (certainly scandanavian-based) country and they sell all sorts of fabulous hobby craft bits and pieces ... begins with P I think ... argh that's going to bug me all night!!!

mrsmike · 12/10/2007 22:14

Thanks mistypeaks, will have a look, swedish thing sounds good Miaou, hope you remember

I couldn't get to sleep last night trying to remember it

Think the catalogue is at the old house (in the middle of moving atm) and I'm not going there today so it wil have to torment us both for a bit longer (unless by some amazing miracle someone knows what I am talking about )

Miaou!!!

sorry for hijack but OMG I was in the bank yesterday and as I handed over my cheque book with stuff for paying in a ready-written out cheque fell out.....and well er...I'm SO sorry - will get off in the post today

mrsmike....will have a look....

SaintJude · 13/10/2007 09:09

Miaou · 13/10/2007 09:13

Miaou · 13/10/2007 09:15

SaintJude · 13/10/2007 09:16

more letterbox

SaintJude · 13/10/2007 09:17

Yes I am

You gave me an address. I have no idea if it is your new one though. Can you email me it again - just to make sure?

SaintJude · 13/10/2007 09:22

shrink plastic is HUGE fun but its not 3D, obviously.

seeker · 13/10/2007 09:27

Miaou - if you remember the name of that catalogue, please post it! I can't remember either and it's been bugging me for days! There were lots of little elf-y things and some really unusual craft materials. I used to get it, but I didn't order for a while and they stoped sending it to me.

Miaou · 13/10/2007 09:36

Argh seeker, thought you were going to tell me what it was then - sounds like we are thinking of the same one though! Will deffo post the name when I can find out what it was!

StJude - will email - just a mo!

beep · 13/10/2007 09:38

I think Miaou is thinking of Panduro www.pandurohobby.co.uk

Miaou · 13/10/2007 09:41

Ah beep YES that's it!!!

Look here at the tomte stuff - is that the kind of thing mrsmike?

Tamum · 13/10/2007 10:00

I don't know if they would be too prone to sogginess but there are these dear little fairies or these little wooden angels that might just pass as fairies. Baker Ross also do lots of more Christmassy things like snowmen and penguins, but that sounds as though it wouldn't be quite what you're after.

mrsmike · 15/10/2007 22:17

Thank you everyone, have got lots of really good ideas now. Miaou, love that panduro website, have frittered away a good 45 mins just browsing the stuff tonight
I have to decorate a shiitake mushroom log for a wedding present. Might plant some of the fake panduro mushrooms on it amongst the magical fairies etc!

mrsmike · 15/10/2007 22:20

miaou, meant to say, those tomte people are JUST RIGHT! Now I want hordes of them ...

Miaou · 16/10/2007 10:49
