Fun Custom Order

Just finished up a fun custom order for 25 little Christmas Elves.

They are going to attach pictures of the Children in a school class to the faces of the elves and then use them to decorate a class tree.  These were fun to make and turned out cute. They are 4 3/4" tall instead of the normal 9" doll that I do.

This customer also ordered two Tooth Fairy Pouches.  

Now I am off to play with something new that I ordered.  Can't wait to share it with you if it works.

2 Cute Customers

I wanted to share these pictures with you before I left for vacation but never got the time.

I have posted about this family before HERE.  These girls love to play with their sets while they are at church.  And mom loves them also because they help the girls stay busy and quite during the service. 

I made a custom book just for this set and it will be available to order with the set soon

Back From Vacation.

Hey everyone.  I am finally back from a little vacation. The whole family (me, hubby, Lulu, Mr.Boo, Grammy, Papa, and Uncle R.) all went to Florida over Christmas and New Years.  We left Christmas day and got back New Years day.  We hit Disney World, Sea World and of course Cocoa Beach.  Mr.Boo, who will be 10 in March enjoyed the beach the best.

He would have preferred to spend his whole vacation there. He was not a huge fan of Disney World or Sea World.  Too many lines and people and WAY TOO MUCH waiting!! Lulu loved Sea World. We did a backstage tour where we got to see the manatees that had been rescued and were there recovering from the cold. But the best part was that we got to pet a penguin. (SQUEEEEEE FROM LULU!!) Miss Lulu loves Penguins.

We rented a wonderful home while we were there.

You can see more images of it HERE. If you, or someone you know, are planning on going to Florida I highly recommend this home.  It was only about 10 minutes from Disney and a little over an hour from the beach. The family that owns it is fantastic to work with and we could not have asked for a better stay. The kids had a blast in the pool also.  We did pay the extra to get the pool heated while we were there and it was well worth it.  The whole family enjoyed the game room and they guys spent a lot of time out there playing pool and air hockey. If we decide to go back to that area of Florida again, we will definitely be renting this home again!

A Heart-Felt Holidays Book Review

Back in December, Mr. Boo got a part in his 3rd grade music program.  He was a Holly Jolly Pirate of Pinataville. Being a pirate, he needed a cute little parrot to sit on his shoulder and be his side kick. Of course being the crafty mom that I am I felt the need to whip up a cute little parrot for him.  I searched the internet for cute parrots and came across this one...



Upon clicking the link I found out it was on one of my favorite craft blogs, Bugs and Fishes. I then discovered that it was a pattern the she had created for a book titled Heart-Felt Holidays by Kathy Sheldon and Amanda Carestio.  


As luck would have it, I had just found this book at my local library and had it on hand at the house.   I printed out the pattern and made my own version.

The instructions were very easy to follow and the pattern was easy to enlarge and use. The parrot in the book is flat and one sided (the other side is just solid red).  I stuffed mine and made it the same on both sides so that when he was finished with the program it could be a stuffie.  I added a pin back to one side of it so that we could pin it to his shirt (we removed the pin back when the program was over).  I made the hat but forgot to attach it so Polly didn't have his hat for the program.

Here are a couple pictures of him all dressed up in his costume...

ARRRRGGGH

This one is a little fuzzy but I had to get one of him with his stash on. This is right before they did the practice program for the school during the day.  He did fantastic and had quite a few speaking and acting parts as well as a solo.

I got to see the program twice.  I was there for the practice program during the day, as well as the one for the families that night.  When he came out on stage for the night time performance, we had trouble finding him.  See the child in the middle with the very long black hair?  That dear friends is my son.  Let me tell you we were EXTREMELY surprised!!  When we dropped him off in the music room he had very short very red hair and suddenly we had a child with long black hair.  

He has had a blast playing with his Polly bird since the program!!  If you would like to see more of this book please click on the link above and have a peek.  I can't wait to make some more of the goodies out of it!! There are 40 projects so there is a little something for everyone.  I would love to hear what you think of the book if you have it or have a peek at it.

The ideas, thoughts and comments in this review are my own.  I was not compensated for this review, nor did I receive a free product for it.
