We have been giving our house a much needed clean out in the past month. My girls have decided that they want to switch bedrooms so they had to clean out their rooms if they wanted to make the big switch. Megan to the small room downstairs and Victoria to the big loft room upstairs.
In our cleaning out of things we have been strolling down memory lane as you do when you start going through things that have been buried in boxes for a long time.
We found a letter that Megan made for Santa when she was 8 that was still sealed so of course we had to open it. Oh and what giggles we had.
I am going to share it with you with all her spelling glory with it hehe.
Dear Santa Claus,
Joe is already puting up the tree. I turned eight this year. The most thing I
want for Christmas is rolling runners. These are the other thing I want a life
size choclate moose and a city of all sorts of Barbie dolls and last but not least
a flying unicorn any age.
I Love You Very Much
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
You'rs truly,
Megan Brown
p.s. Nail polish and Nail Polish remover and clothes
I am definitely saving this letter hehe. I dont remember what she got that year for Christmas but I dont think she got most of it. My Megan is turning 18 next month and the funny thing is she would probably still want the life size chocolate mousse, whatever that is hehe as long as its something chocolate and the nail polish and clothes are still being asked for. So even though your kids grow and change they are still pretty much the same.
I hope you had a little giggle with this post. I think my favourite part is the flying unicorn any age hehehehehehe.
I just sent off a new batch of toys to Stoopher & Boots in New York city. I usually like to send at least 7 things at a time but I have been working on socks, socks, socks that I havent had time to do too many toys. This is quite the crew isnt it.
I knitted this bunny once before in a chenille yarn that made him look like a velveteen rabbit. This bunny was knitted from a yarn called Bunny Soft. How could you not knit a bunny out of it? Victoria picked the colours. Of course she would pick blue as she is in love with blue. This yarn is so soft. My girls couldnt stop hugging him when he was all finished. I found out that once he arrived in New York yesterday and friend of Stoopher & Boots had to blog about him so now he is famous. Here is a link to the article which is so cute.

Look at that poofy tail, so soft and fluffy like a real bunny. For the lining of the ears I used felt. The last one of these bunnies I used fabric. I think I much prefer the fabric as even those the ears in this picture are tamed and down once you start playing with him they tend to fold back and make him look as if he was stuck in a wind tunnel. Still cute but a little too stiff for my liking. Oh and this pattern was designed by one of my new favourite designers, Rabbit Hole Knits. I just love every one of her patterns.
This bunny is another Rabbit Hole Knits designs. The amazing thing about this pattern is that this is pretty much all one piece. You just add the ears and the front paws. For this bunny I got a smooth yarn and a fluffy super soft yarn and held it together throughout. When I picked a needle size I went really small so this is a very strong, stable fabric. What is even better is the eyes are embroidered on so that he is safe for everyone. A funny story about this bunny is, the little 2 year old girl that I babysit wanted to hold him and when I gave him to her she was holding him like a real bunny. She put him on the ground and was waiting for him to start hopping. She very much thought he was real.
Dont you just love his little tail. I just love how he is knit all in one including his little tail.
Here is another super cute monster designed by Danger Crafts another favourite designer. I have knit this monster before in pink. Its funny how these little critters can look so different just by changing the yarn. This one was made in a colourful baby yarn which makes him super soft. It was interesting to see how the striping changed once I got to the body.
Last but not least is this little dinosaur. You dont really see to many pink dinosaurs around but I knew I just had to make one after Victoria and I read a super cute story that had this pink dinosaur all through it. He also has embroidered eyes which makes him safer and is just the right size for little hands. You never know, there could have been real pink dinosaurs.
My Megan just had her prom on Saturday so I just had to show off the prettiness of it all.
Megan and her friend Ali decided to ask a boy that was a friend of theirs if he would be their date. So he was a lucky guy with two dates to the prom. He didnt care what he wore so the girls delighted in being able to pick out his outfit. They were quite proud of the results.
Here is my Meggy all pretty and stuff.
I wish I could have got her shoes in one of these pictures. They were hot pink patent leather shoes with 4 1/2 inch heels. She was enjoying towering over me.
If only she would have let me take a picture of what she looked like the next day when she same home. It would have been priceless hehe. Lets just say the hair wasnt so pretty, the makeup was smudgy, some being used as a strange headband and a giant fake Michael Jackson tattoo on her leg.
Here are the girls all together. What angels hehe.
Megan loves this picture. It just captures their personalities so well I think hehe.
I just listed this Sparkly Horse in my Etsy shop today. This horse reminds me of my Megan when she was little. Its pink, its sparkly, its a horse. All things that would have made her want to snatch it up and call it hers.
I just know there are other little girls out there that are just like my Megan who would love a sparkly little horse.
I contemplated turning her into a little unicorn but she was happy just how she is.
When deciding on the eyes I remembered when I was little and use to colour in all the eyes blue. I even went through a whole colouring book just colouring all the eyes in blue in every picture. I dont know what the fascination was but felt like this little horse needed blue eyes just like the old days.
This is what my kitchen smells like right now. Such a pretty flower with a strong scent. Spring has arrived and Easter is almost here so this gets me all excited for all the flowers that are blooming and are going to bloom.
