February Pillow Exchange

I was totally out of my element on this one.  Melissa likes the "sweeter" side of Valentines.  I use a different color pallet, but I am still really happy with the way this turned out.  I totally need an embroidery machine though.  I couldn't find the picture I took with the pillow inserted so this will have to do.

Red Toe shoes

I made these red toe shoes to go with Alyssa's paris dress.  I love the way they turned out! (I also made these same shoes in pink, a darker red, purple, white, and grey.)

January Pillow Exchange

My friend, Melissa suggested a fun little 12 month project.  A pillow exchange!  How fun is that.  I used this really pretty bird fabric that Melissa loves on white flannel, with a blue swirl border (again one of her favorite fabrics) I am super happy with the quiet simplicity of this pillow.

January Tutu and Toe Shoe set

 Alyssa's January blanket.  White flannel for the back with a cotton white polka dot front trimmed with a dutchess satin ruffle.

 Simple blue headband with a white snowflake rhinestone.  Blue and white bracelet on stretchy cord.

 Back of the tutu.  White satin pinwheel bow with a snowflake rhinestone center.

 The onesie that my friend Melissa made with her embroidery machine (I gotta get one.)

 The January tutu and toe shoes.  (The tutu was made with five layers of tulle, and a white duchess satin underskirt. The tulle and satin waist band was gathered together, then elastic was inserted into the band.  All tulle is cut at the same size.)

Toe shoes made of white satin with blue top stitching and laces.  Clear rhinestones to add a little blig.
