Handmade Holiday Update

Before we go any further...have you entered my GIVEAWAY yet??? Yes? Good! Now on to the post...

Princess pillows??? That's what she wants! I have no idea where this idea came from. I've probed and prodded and tried to get more details, but to no avail. Belle is insistent that Santa bring her princess pillows. When questioned, she explains that she wants to put them around her knee when it hurts. Hmmm.... She plans to use them in the family room. Hmmm.... They must include her favorite princesses. Hmmm... Santa was perplexed, so he passed the task to Mommy and went with something much less nebulous.




I just hope that Mommy can rise to the challenge!


Ariel didn't photograph very well, but she was the most time-consuming, so I started there. Still to come...Cinderella, Rapunzel, and a castle pillow.
The sad news...Belle will be moving to a grown-up bed shortly after the holidays. The real deal. I'm not handling this "growing up" thing exceptionally well, and if I let her move to a grown-up bed, then I might as well start shopping for a wedding dress. I seriously need a pause button for life.
The good news...these pillows will be the perfect start to her new grown-up bedding set. AND, you all will get to see all the parts as they are created. Quilt, wall art, accessories, the whole shebang! That is assuming that her knee is willing to share the pillows with her bed:)

  1. She can't be old enough for a "big girl bed" already. I remember when we were all waiting for her birth. Where has the time gone? Nana

  2. Too cute!!! I'm excited to see the room come together. Will is going to be moving out of the crib & into Jack's room in the spring (if he doesn't climb out before then) so Jack is getting a big boy room that I'm making everything for too. Mostly the Riley Blake wheels line... Can't wait to see your ideas!

  5. Very cute pillows. Here is something we have done. Make a rectangle out of any novelty fabric (princesses in your case) and make a little sack. Fill with rice and sew shut. You can keep them in the freezer for a boo boo time or heat them in the microwave for a warm compress. We have them in all sorts of fabrics including college fabric.

  6. excellent needle work there! We are moving to a new place in a couple of months and with that we will need to snag a big bed. No more toddler bed. I am also upset that my 3 year old no longer fits in his 2T jammies anymore. What is wrong with me?
