I ordered Ella these Baby Einstein puppets for her birthday back in April. She has really started taking an interest in them. She chases Kenzie around with the dog puppet saying "woof, woof, woof!" She also has a duck, cow, monkey, goat, and dragon. She knows the duck says "quack" and the monkey says "oooo, oooo, aaahh, aaaahhh", from the Playhouse Disney song. She's not really gotten the hang of the cow or goat yet. And, of course, if your familiar with Baby Einstein, you know that the dragon says "Blah!"
I made Ella a dress last night from a pattern I purchased a while back from
http://www.etsy.com/. Its an online store where you can buy and sell homemade items. I love it! This pattern is called
"The Little Mademoiselle Dress". It was super easy to make and the directions were very straightforward. Actually, I forgot to print out the directions (but I had read them), so I just made it from memory. My straps turned out too narrow - Whoops! I added the pockets because I really loved the fabric. The pattern did not call for pockets. I think it turned out a little long though and I will probably hem it tonight. I'm making a pair of pants for me using the same materials. I will post pics of it in a couple of days.
that's such a cute dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the comments... yes, I think we probably are kindred spirits... I've been thinking for a while that you and I could be really great friends! To answer your questions... the peg dolls, well... I just made them because I thought they would be cute, as far as what I do with them... they just sit on a shelf. I found the pegs really cheap at a New and Used store and I thought I would try to do something with my clay with them. Basically, sheer boredom I suppose... I'm trying to sell a couple of them on Etsy, but no one seems to be interested. As far as the coupons, I just clip them out of the Sunday news paper.. My printer isn't working right now or I would be printing them from online sites... thanks for the ones you gave me, I'm gonna give them a try! And yes if you are ever out this way, email me and we'll get together... I would love to! I don't have any other Mommy friends and would love to get together with someone... it gets kinda lonely staying at home all day! You live in McCalla right? We could even do Tannehill... I love that place!
