Mom's Play

As everyone who knows me knows, I don't believe it can ever be too early to plan or make things. So, with that in mind I began making some things for upcoming birthdays and holidays over the past few weeks.
First, I saw this idea on Pinterest of making dolls out of popsicle sticks and washi tape. I thought it was adorable and a really good way to give Maddy something she will like but won't take up a lot of room.
This is what I came up with....

They were really fun to make so I started brainstorming what else I could make. I decided to do another set but this time they would be Disney princesses. I didn't use any of the tape this time. Just markers.

In order: Jane, Ariel, Belle, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Snow White, Aurora, Alice, Tinkerbell, Tiana, Cinderella, and Brave.

They didn't all turn out exactly how I wanted but I think they are really cute. 

Abi loved watching me make them and decided to make some of her own. She came out of her room a few minutes later with these...

I also started on Halloween costumes. I let Maddy pick from my Pinterest board and was so happy that she picked the scarecrow. I took my inspiration from this idea.

I couldn't figure out how to make the hat so I decided to just get a straw hat and sew some felt on it. It was a long process but I watched Doctor Who while I did it so it was fun!

Here is a picture mid process...

and the finished hat...
