Felt Tooth Fairy Pouch

I actually made this last year, in a panic, as I felt like it could be any time that my daughter lost her first tooth!  She discovered a wobbly tooth back in February, which is when I presented her with this...

She loved it as much as I'd hoped she would!  However, we are still awaiting the wobbly tooth to fall out... she since has claimed she has 13 wobbly tooth, so I am now questioning whether there is even one!  (She won't let me feel around to check!)

The back of it has a little pocket for Emily to put her tooth, and the tooth fairy to pop a coin in when she takes the tooth!

I cut out felt and embroidered the face onto the tooth shape.  I hand-sewed it all together, with white felt and pink and gold glitter felt for the wings and crown.  I used my Cricut Joy to cut out the letters for "Emily's tooth" and the little stars, out of iron-on vinyl.

I'm so pleased with how it came out - it was as good, if not better, than I had imagined!  Very satisfying when that happens!

I will need to make a similar one for my son, who starts school in September.  I'm just not sure how to vary it for him.  He has said he doesn't want a crown, but I'm not sure quite what direction to go with his!  We shall see...

Crochet Unicorn

I am pleased to show my first completed make of 2025!  I started this in the summer of 2023, and finished it in January this year, so it took way longer than it should have!  My poor daughter has been patiently waiting for it all this time...

It's a crochet unicorn!  The pattern is from the book Animal Friends of Pica Pau* by Yan Schenkel.

My duaghter chose the colours of the horn, wings, mane and tail herself - and I think she did a great job!  I love how it has come out!

It feels like a real achievement to finally get this finished, and made me feel I could start new things!  (Even though there are plenty of other WIPs I should be finishing really!)

I hope to be back soon with more things to share!

Creation Consolidation - 2024!

I'm very late with my usual round-up of the previous year's makes.  I feel like I say this every year since having kids, but there weren't a lot of makes at all!  But, here goes... click on the headings or the images to be taken to the relevant posts...

That was not a lot for a whole year!  Let's see if I can do better this year.  I've already finished something I'd been very slowly working on since summer 2023 - so I'll be sharing that soon.  I'm very pleased with it!

If you are interested, here are my consolidation posts from previous years:


I didn't do a round-up for years before that, but you can see other finished items at the below links:


Here's to a crafty 2025!
