The reading pillows are finished and ready to ship. Of course grannie had to add a few more items to the mix. The candy, meat sticks and small stuffed animals were purchased at the Dollar general. The books are a mix of new and used. I'm always on the lookout for kids books to help my daughter build a good library for homeschool.
The pattern I used to make the pillows is from a YouTube video, you can find by clicking here. They were simple and quick to make. I'm not completely happy with the look of the finished pillows and it has nothing to do with the pattern.
The pattern calls for a 16" pillow form. The ones I purchased from Hobby Lobby didn't fill my pillows as much as I would like. Maybe it just a personal preference. I like heavily stuffed pillows. But I don't think the grandkids care about the perfect amount of pillow stuffing.
Both of the girls like unicorns and rainbows but when it comes to color their tastes are a little different. My granddaughter Alynn loves any shade of blue. She a lot like me, a little bit of a Tom Boy.
Scarlet is 100% girly girl. She loves Barbie pink and purple. This fabric was perfect for little Prissy Missy. At 6 yrs old she has to do her hair and makeup everyday. The make is basically lip gloss and blush, sometime some little girl eye shadow.
I think she's going to love the glittered hooves.
My grandson, Mason is 4 and is all about dinosaurs. And much to my surprise he can name them all. Some I've never heard of before.
Here's the gang from left to right...Alynn, Scarlet and Mason. This was taken on a homeschool field trip to The Lost River Cave Butterfly Habitat in Kentucky. I'm really proud of my daughter for homeschooling the kids.
Until next time...
I hope you find time to stitch up something sweet!
