Tinkerbell Bag

When Lily grows out of clothes, I usually pass them on to a friend.

Some of her clothes with cute designs I hang onto and give them to my mom to 'make something' out of them.  Most of the time my mom makes bags. Lily loves bags.  (You can see some other bags she has made in the past here.)

This bag was perfect for our trip.  I placed items that Lily would like to do on the plane.  (a few coloring books, colored pencils & crayons)  I placed it next to her on the plane for easy reach. 

To make this bag, my mom used one of Lily's old hooded sweatshirts.

My mom removed the zipper from the front and put the 2 sides together.  She also removed the sleeves and sewed them up.

She left the pockets and then added a snap.  She also added lots of pompom fringe.  She even added some pompom fringe to Tink's shoes.

She used a couple different ribbons to make the shoulder strap (putting a fusable web in between them to make them stiffer).  And then she added this cute bow the end of each side.

Mommy Please...

I made Lily a Christmas Tinkerbell (I had placed an eyepin in top) that I was going to make into a necklace.  She asked me if it could be an ornament instead and if I could make her a Periwinkle the same size.  How could I say no?

 She loved them!

She spent most of the day making them "fly"around the room.

Secret Of the Wings

This is one of Lily's new favorite movies.  She was sad to see this ornament leave the house last week. (Periwinkle was a special request.)  Looks like I will be making more for Lily and her cousins to add to their collection.  When they get older and move out, their own trees are going to be filled with clay ornaments made by me.   :D

Wordful Wednesday - Pixie Fairies

I have been working on beads for jewelry I am making for Lily for our upcoming trip.  Lily requested these fairies. Only 12 more sleeps.  :D

(My shop is currently closed.  I will definitely be selling them when I return from our vacation.)
