I started this week's special project with a thrifted springy floral cotton twin flat sheet, and quickly realized it wouldn't be enough for what I had in mind. ~*~
So, I raided Sophie's closet and found this polka dot twin flat sheet that perfectly matches the flowers. ~*~
I used the floral for the beginning and end of this basket,
~*~
... and the dots in the center. I used both fabrics for the side bow!~*~
Before you wag your finger at me for swiping my daughter's sheet, let me explain that this is to be her very own Easter basket. Last year I got so caught up in making baskets for the shop and other people that my own babe didn't have one of these beauties. (Bad, bad mom. Though I'll admit that all along I've been banking on the idea that kids ultimately don't remember anything from before they are 5 years old) In any case, now she can be the princess of the egg hunt!
cute!!!!...I love it!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you know I was going to tell you off and wag my finger at you :0)

ReplyDeleteJennie you and your mom are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a nice mum leaving such lovely comments, and thinking so much of her daughter and granddaughter:0)
I love your mom too :0) lol
The cobblers story is a looonnngg one.
But basically the cobbler was always so busy making everybody elses shoes in the kingdom, that he didn't realise his own poor children never had any decent shoes to wear, or even went without. And nobody believed the children that their Father was the cobbler because he made such divine shoes and they had none :(
LOL :0)
Love n hugs,

Oh my goodness, Donna~ that IS just like my story!!! I think I have heard that one before, now that you tell it, but it's a good one to keep in mind. Thanks for loving my mum- she's quite wonderful and I'm a lucky lady :)
ReplyDeleteJennie, I must admit, I was about to wag my finger before I realized that the gorgeous basket was going to your princess. The sheet really does match perfectly! That's amazing. It's great that the basket will have that personal connection. Well done! :-)
