It's All About the Teeth...Tooth Fairy Pillows

Ella's friends are losing teeth left and right, so I've been having little panic attacks thinking that she will lose a tooth, and I'll have no tooth fairy pillow to put it in!  Yes, I stress over these things.

I couldn't find anything I loved on Etsy so I've had it on my [extremely long] "to do" list for months.  I finally made them, and I think they turned out so cute!!  I figured I should just make Everett's now as well and get it done, even though I hope he won't be losing teeth for a few more years!

Photo Edited Dresses?

I think I may start using photo editing techniques for my Etsy photos just for fun...

Here is new style (3/4 elastic sleeves) and fabric...

E&E

Ella
Found a full bottle of cinnamon and did this while I was feeding Everett (yes, I gave in and bought her Tinkerbelle pjs)...
Her reasoning? She wanted "cinnamon on her banana" for breakfast. By the way, when I caught her, she was still scooping up handfuls of cinnamon off the table and putting it on her fully cinnamon-covered banana.

This was before she found a tube of vaseline (which she thought was sunscreen) and rubbed it all over her cheeks so that her "cheeks don't get burned" (direct quote). I can't get mad at her because I can't stop laughing!

Everett
Recently found his feet and is always grabbing them.  Learned how to roll over both ways...and over and over and over and over...which means he is now sleeping on his stomach.

Had his first Tiny Tots playgroup today (of which I am the organizer), but it turned out to be mostly older kids (13 months to 2.5 years) so once again, Ella will be making even MORE friends and Everett will still have only two!  At least I tried. ;)

Sewing
I made a dress in one of the new fabrics and a new crayon clutch...

Yes, There are More...

MH- I hope you love the birdies!  :)

More Crayon Clutches

I think I am going to start selling the crayon clutch so I made a few boy patterns.  I'm going to offer them in any of my dress or diaper clutch fabrics!  I'm thinking $17 for one or $32 for two (because of course you need one for each child!) including 10 crayons and one 4 x 6 notepad.  Additional notepads will be sold for $1.50 each.  I will list them tomorrow or Monday.

I also made a bunch of bows (on alligator clips) for Ella.  I think I may also sell these for $4.00 each or two for $7.00.  We'll see.  The navy striped one is my favorite, mostly because I'm obsessed with all things navy.

Crayon Clutch...New Item?

I made this for Ella because she is forever asking to draw at random times...like in the middle of Target, so I needed something very compact (but of course cute too!) to throw in my bag.  I'm thinking of listing them in my Etsy store.

This is just to show how thin it is!

Here is the prototype...I had to adjust my pattern to make it shorter and move the notepad holder part to the other side...

New Fabrics!

I just purchased some adorable new fabrics!  I can't wait to start sewing.  I'm thinking they will look so cute in this style (or really any of the styles!)...

I like this one alone...

Or with this as a contrast...

This one alone...

This one alone...

And then these three alone or mix and match...


If anyone wants to pre-order before I list them on etsy, let me know!

Some More Craftiness

Ella's Thanksgiving dress that I made with a onesie and upholstery fabric for the skirt!



Coordinating Big Sister and Lil Bro shirts...



I made this easy dress for myself, which will look much cuter on when I'm not a pregnant whale! If you'd like to make one for yourself, the tutorial is HERE. Do yourself a favor and make it with a regular cotton like she did and not a very thin, stretchy jersey knit like I did! Also, she says just to get a cheap tank, but I would still use a better quality tank because even the tops of the cheap ones don't fit right and stretch all out looking sloppy.
