Plums. What do they make you think of? For me it's the juicy, complex flavor that comes in high summer. Or a thick purple jam made from damson plums. Both are fabulous and have me longing for our trees to mature, so I can enjoy more of them.
Of course, there are many of you who might jump to Sugar Plum Fairies from the ballet. You know what I'm talking about! One of the most iconic ballets that is performed around the holiday season - The Nutcracker! For my plum design I went off that idea and created a Sugared Plum Fairy. I crocheted a dark purple plum and added a stem and leaf, then I lightly dabbed glue all over and covered it with glitter. The glitter I used looks a more like large sugar crystals, which is the look I wanted. The final touch was a set of wings and a hanger made of yarn. Now I can enjoy seeing it every year on my Christmas tree. I'll be offering them in shop this year, so you can too!
