Long Lashes

Just a random photo I took of Amelia. She is such a sweet girl.

Thanksgiving Crafts

On Sunday, Amelia and I worked on some Thanksgiving turkey crafts. The first was a toilet paper roll turkey. Amelia traced her hand and even cut out one of them. You'll notice it is the blue feathers near the front left of the turkey.

The following is a more typical turkey craft. The handprint turkey glued over feathers. Again, Amelia cut out some of the feathers and traced her own hand. She also glued everything on by herself.

Take a closer look at the bottom left hand corner. Look what Amelia can do! Pretty impressive for a 3 1/4 year old, right? Kid genius.

Halloween Cupcake

That title is a trick. Amelia did help me make cupcakes for her Halloween party and she is eating one in this picture. That isn't what this post is about. It's another look what I made for Amelia post.

The hoodie version of the Bimaa sweater and another pair of Oliver + S after school pants. I need to take a back view so the cute ruffle-y back pockets can be seen.

Muffins and Monkeys

Making muffins in a monkey apron with a monkey in the pocket. Any questions?

Pumpkin Patch Again

Here's Amelia at the How Tall Are You This Fall? sign for the third straight year. This year, she's holding her hands over her ears because there was a hungry calf nearby that was "Too Loud!". I couldn't get her to look at me and take her hands down. Oh well. This is also when I realized that her pants are too short to be worn as anything other than back up clothes.

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Bunny Shirt

I'm combining a cute Amelia post with a crafty post. I've been trying to build up Amelia's fall/winter wardrobe with handmade items. I have made a bunch of stuff so far. I ordered a pack of patterns about a month ago and this shirt was one of the patterns that I had to make right away. I found this great bunny fabric and it was fate. Unfortunately, the fabric doesn't have quite enough stretch so the first shirt was too small. Anyone know an 18 month old that could use a new shirt? Luckily, I had plenty of leftover bunnies to make a 2nd shirt and it fits perfectly.

The shirt is the Bimaa top and the pants are Oliver + S After School Pants. Both in size 2 with size 3 length.

Sunglasses

Amelia is silly. She put on all of her sunglasses at the same time and thought it was hilarious.
