Fuzzy Dice

I have a bunch of Christmas type stuff to post, but I thought I would post something a little less seasonal today.

My niece told the Hubby a month or so ago that she would love to find a big pair of pink fuzzy dice for her bedroom. She is in the process of redecorating and these would be perfect for her new room. SO, my hubby very kindly offered my services.

They were actually pretty easy to make, although sewing on each spot was a tad tedious.



I cut the squares 11x11 and the spots are about 3 inches and it took a whole bag of stuffing for both of them. It wasn't something I would have ever normally made, but I'm pleased with the results. 

Butterflies

 It's apparently been awhile since I've sat at my sewing machine. I had to make this simple dress twice. I almost threw my machine out the window. Although, to be fair, it was probably my ability to measure and cut correctly that was the problem.

Thankfully it worked out okay.

No machines were hurt and I still have a little of the beautiful butterfly fabric left in my stash.



Pretty in Pink - Tutu

A couple weekends ago, we went to Austin for a little friend's 3rd birthday party. After some thinking I decided to make her a tutu.
I tried to get Munch to try it on (for sizing purposes), but he thought I was completely crazy. He wouldn't even take my bribes of cookies and candy! When I did finally convince him to put it on for a second, he looked a little murderous...so unfortunately no blackmail pictures were taken. Luckily, I got the sizing right, despite Munch's best efforts to deter me. I knotted ends and added ribbon, because I thought it added something fun and different.
