Preschool Gifts

With some help from Nana, and great advice from Nicostuff readers, we finally got the presents all together for preschool. How I wish we had a Dollar Tree locally I think I would shop there everyday.

Thade and I set up a little assembly line, he would pick out a pencil, eraser, and throw in a peppermint candy cane too. I would then stuff the little gift bags, and tag them with my Christmas address labels that found  at our $1.00 Shop. The bags looked so cute, and Thade was really happy that he got to help out with the project too.

We took the presents to school on Wednesday along with Christmas gifts for all of the teachers. Thade said that his teachers loved their gifts, and gave him extra hugs to say thanks. His Christmas party is coming up soon, and he can’t wait!

Finally, I Get To Make a Dress

This month I have had a few cool sewing gigs come my way, so my sewing machine has been extra busy. Last week a friend asked me if I would help create a dress inspired by Miss Patty Cake for her daughter who is turning 5. I thought the outfit sounded like a lot of fun to sew, and I finally get to make a dress.

Once the pattern was just right, I spent about 3 days working on the dress, when Dylan would take his afternoon nap. Once the dress was finished I couldn’t stop there, it needed something else.

I made a little purse too. I think that with a super cute dress, you just have to have a bag that matches.
