Some Birthday Gifts
Over the weekend, I made some birthday gifts for a sweet four-year-old and decided to embrace the color pink she loves so much. Why fight it? I suspect one day when they are wearing all black we’ll miss the glittery pink costumes.
So I made a pink tutu and a matching one for my five-year-old. Then I made a drawing case embroidered with both my daughters’ designs — the flower on the front and an ice cream cone sewn onto this Moleskine notebook. Both designs were hand-painted by my children. We’ll be selling some of these cases at the Indie Craft Experience next month. The rose fabric is from Heather Ross’ Far Far Away II collection for Kokka.

DIY Bat Costume
Try making this simple bat costume from a t-shirt and wool felt. More Stellaluna than Batman, this little brown bat is for kids still willing to wear a cute Halloween costume. Unlike my older daughter whose goal is to “scare little kids”. She’s seven, so she still gets scared quite a bit herself.
My five-year-old reluctantly put on this costume and then loved it. Now she wants to do her kindergarten animal research project on fruit bats. First off, we need to research bat sounds. She was hooting in these photos, but I guess bats screech? We’ll find out.
Full instructions and printable mask in my post over at Alpha Mom.
