TuTu Cute

During Depot Days street festival, the thing to sell in boutiques this year are handmade tutu's. Of course being the thrifty person I am, I couldn't pay $25 for something I could easily make for under $10. So I got busy, I made one for Hailey's friend at preschool's birthday, and one to go with Hailey's halloween outfit. Let me know what you think of them!

Hailey loved her halloween tutu! Her halloween costume makes her break out in hives, so she wore this instead of her costume to preschool today.

Quiet Book

I have had a lot of people interested in seeing the quiet book I've been working on. I have taken a break this past week while my fingers heal from the many hot glue burns. I have 5 pages finished (mostly) including the middle 2 page spread.
The firetruck and ambulance are wood and attached with velcro so they can be easily taken off to "drive" on the streets.

The garage of the firestation lifts to reveal the firetruck.



I haven't found a shoe lace for "lacing and tying" the football. Roll Tide!


5 little monkeys swinging from a tree.... each monkey and the alligator is attached with a snap.


We are trying to help teach Hailey good teeth hygiene...the toothbrush and toothpaste are attached with velcro. The floss container is glued on, but the "floss" ribbon unravels so you can floss the teeth, that are attached with snaps.


There is more to come....
