The Fairy Door

The Fairy Door has arrived.....finally!!! Took me long enough to finish it lol. I came real close to just buying one but then I knew, I'd wind up just making one and that's what I did. All I did was order and unfinished doll house door and the rest is history. Emma came into her room to find it and was so excited! At first she thought that the door would open for her but I had to explain that only the Fairies could open the door. Needless to say, she wants to lose a tooth so the Fairy can visit her. She doesn't know yet that the Fairy will visit even if she hasn't lost a tooth. Silly child.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!

                                            It was time consuming, but ohhhhhh soooooo worth it! Emma's Heirloom coat is finally  finished! For a minute I thought that I would'nt get it done but I did! Emma's Christmas Recital is Saturday and she will get to show it off that night.  It's a heavy coat I tell ya. When I went to an antique store and found a chenille blanket on sale for $18.00, i freaked and i "knew it was perfect"! Totally!!! The lining of the jacket is a blanket that Emma used often as a baby. I hope that one day it is passed down to her daughter. I love to make things for her, but this one pattern, there's something about it that has an extra piece of love attached to it. When I was making it thought of the future...ALOT! She along with my other children are growing way to fast for my britches. She is my last and  she bores holes into my soul when she looks at me and calls me "Mama". I eat it up and cherish every sweet word she says to me. We have a connection, most mothers know what I am taking about. She is happy, therefore, I am happy. I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.
