Mermaid blanket (2 hours)

Español

 

Last week we were invited to a girl's 4th birthday. I decided to make a warm mermaid blanket for her (the inside is fleece) It only took two hours to put it together. And she really loved it, and so did her older sister who asked me to make one for her. 😍

I started making it only two hours before the birthday party and because I was in a hurry I almost forgot to take a few quick pictures.

Love,

Let it rain!

Although in Spain we have more sunny days than rainy ones, I found the need to get a raincoat for my little girl. So I decided to make one (why buy it when you could make it? ). 

I didn't use any pattern, after making the pajamas I though nothing could do it. I just put her coat over a paper and more less draw the pattern. 

I bought the laminated fabric (110 x 90cm) and I already had at home the minky fabric, which I though it was perfect to make it warm raincoat.

And this is the outcome, the only problem is that since I finished it, it didn't rain.... ;-)

She loved it!

Zafu

When being with kids, we end up sitting on the floor. Sometimes to read them a book, sometimes to play.  During one of those times, I thought, I need a cushion to seat on... This, together with the fact that my son tends to sit a lot in "W position" (not recommended), made me think of buying a zafu. But of course, why buy it when you can make it.

So I bought some upholstery fabric from the sale section and I made three zafus filled with spelt husks (hulls).

I made them with  a carrying handle. 

They have a zippered removable cover to allow easy cleaning. After all, they are going to be all over the floor. 

 

Up to now, my kids are using them every day. To read, to play with dolls, to watch the theater, as a circuit to jump from one zafu to the next one....

 

  

         

Now, I need to start using them to meditate ;-)

Love,

Quick Cute Ghost

My little girl's nursery teacher told us that for Halloween she needed to be dressed as a ghost.

I couldn't resist to make a cute ghost costume, with headdress included.



Very very easy to do, all you need is:

1. White shirt
2. Black fabric paint (to paint the face of the ghost)
3. White tights
4. Elastic por the tutu waist
5. Tul roll.
6. White hair-band
7. Felt (pink, white and black)

Love,
