Ahhh - where does time go? This time of year is so crazy, isn't it? With Thanskgiving, Christmas, Lillie's Birthday, a busy time for Dear Lillie and basketball season under way I feel like every day is just flying by and even though I feel like I get about ten things crossed off my list I add another twenty - ahhh! I do LOVE this time of year though. This is going to be super quick because I need to finish up some sewing and then as soon as Lillie wakes up from her nap off we go to another game. Fortunately, this one is only a little over an hour away (the last one was two hours away and we hit awful traffic on the way there so it took forever!). I forgot my camera on Friday but am going to try to remember to bring it today.
Anyway, we got a bunch of e-mails of e-mails wondering about a template for the Silent Night pillows. I would just have taken the pillow forms out and scanned in the ones I did but they were too large to fit on my scanner. I thought it would be easy to just redo them....haha! That was not the case. It is very hard trying to recopy something you did really quickly. I see now why it is so hard to forge a signature. I was trying to go slowly but the slower I went the more wobbly it looked. Oh well, here is the best I could do. It isn't great but at least it is something to work off of for those of you who asked. If I had of thought the project through a little more and not been in such a hurry when I made the pillows, I probably wouldn't have just freehanded it and would probably have found a font I liked like Chopin Script and tried to copy that. I attached some pictures of that below too for any of you who would rather copy something a little neater looking than my wobbly attempt at redrawing the original ones. Anyway, here they are (just click on the templates and they should open larger in another window for you to save and print - let me know if they don't):

And here they are in Chopin Script straight off the computer if you prefer to work off of somethign neater:
We also now have our Christmas Shirts for sale in our Etsy shop!
They can be ordered with or without the ribbon so they can be worn by both boys and girls!
They are available on long sleeve black onesies in sizes 3/6 months, 6/12 months, and 12/18 months and on long sleeve black thermals in sizes 2 - 12.
I have VERY LIMITED quanitites of some of the sizes (in fact I think I only have one in each size onesie)!
On another note, I have finally decided the theme for Lillie's birthday party! I am combining her two favorite things: The Twelve Dancing Princesses and Chocolate! I was in the car the other day as Lillie and I were running errands and I was trying to decide between some of the themes you all had suggested. I was leaning towards a Nutcracker theme focusing on the Sugar Plum Fairy but was unsure about it because I felt like Lillie wouldn't really even know what it was and thinking I should wait until she was a bit older and then it hit me as I was listening to her very annoying Barbie movie in the background. She ADORES the Twelve Dancing Princesses! She pretty much watches that movie every time we are in the car for any length of time (I know - I vowed I would NEVER let my kids watch movies in the car - they would only read books or play games! Somehow that went out the window - arghhh!) She also has the book and we read it over and over and over in the house. Her favorite character is actually "Papa" which is kind of funny. Ever time he is on the screen or on the page she goes crazy and demands that I look and see! So, as soon as it hit me I felt stupid for not thinking of it before. So, a Twelve Dancing Princesses Party is shall be.
Because her whole birthday last year was pink I decided to avoid using any pink so it wouldn't seem the same. Instead, because she loves chocolate even more than I do (which is saying an AWFUL lot) I am going to do everything in chocolates, creams and whites. Jon took her for a couple of hours on Saturday evening and I drew a bunch of dancing princess silhouettes which I am going to print in chocolate brown and make a banner from and some little cupcake toppers with. And then I spent her nap yesterday sewing 16 pairs of tiny ballet slippers. They are inspired by one of my favorite pairs of Joyfolie shoes (although the ones I am making are a mess and would make Jessica cringe and are purely decorative and could never possibly be worn - haha! By the way you should check out the preview of the some of the Holiday Items about to debut at Joyfolie.) Anyway, the little decorative slippers are about half-way done and once they are finished I will post some pictures. I have a bunch of Dear Lillie work to do these next few days though so I am not sure when I will get back to them. I plan on having two bare trees covered in little white lights and hanging 12 of the shoes from them and the other 4 will use to pair together and hang somewhere. Anyway, now that I have decided what I am going to do I am quite excited about it. Now, if I could just figure out how to add more hours to the day!
Well, time to go! I hope you all have a most lovely Monday!
