Crafty Roundup
Just a roundup of a few of the crafty things I made for Christmas and just because. Feel free to ignore this and scroll down for another look at adorable Amelia.
First up is Amelia's latest holiday pillow cover. It isn't quite finished. The Christmas tree could use some embellishments. It is my first attempt at piping and I love the pop of red around the edges.
Next, Amelia's Christmas Eve pajamas. I finished them with a few hours to spare. Oliver + S Sleepover Pajamas in 18-24 month with 2T length on the pants. They are designed with cuffs that can be let down for growing room. I love them so much, I've already bought more fabric for another pair. This time without the time consuming ruffles.
I had my sewing machine taken to the shop for its yearly maintenance. It is pretty sad how much I missed it. As soon as I picked it up, I made this quick little peasant top to test it out. Amelia loves the birdie fabric.
This fancy little dress is another Oliver + S pattern. This one is the Fairy Tale Dress. Size 18-24 months. It is a fully lined dress with tulle in the skirt to give it extra volume. There is a giant red bow in the back and I love the tulip sleeves. Rob picked out the fabric for this dress and I think he did a great job. There are red and green metallic threads running through it to give a subtle sparkle. What little girl wouldn't love a sparkly dress made for twirling? It was pretty intense to make. This dress took me 11 hours from cutting to finishing. Totally worth it.

Cowgirl
Friday was Down on the Farm/Cowboy day at school. Amelia was super excited to wear the cowboy boots she got from her Nana for Christmas. Everyone couldn't get over how adorable she looked. Here she is full of Cowgirl Sass.

Princess of the Day
Princess day at daycare. Amelia loves this gray skirt. It is perfect for twirling! Her shirt has a silver crown on it and says Princess of the day. So, I made her a little felt crown on a headband to match. I think she wore it for 5 minutes, but it looked cute.
Leg warmers as arm warmers? Of course!

Sparkly Fingernails
All week is a birthday celebration at Amelia's daycare. Each day has a theme and Tuesday's theme was Princess/Superhero day. Amelia needed sparkly fingernail polish for the occasion.
Letting the polish dry and then hanging out with Daddy.

Money
Counting the change in the piggy bank. Well, not really, she's transferring all the change to a pan so she can cook it. I have no idea why.

Super Hero
Rob informed me that he needed a cape for his ice fishing trip. My prototype ended up a little too short. I'm sending it off to a friend's little boy. Amelia had to try it on for me first.
