Well, if she sticks to her guns and never loses any teeth at least she'll have a pretty cat pillow :-) !

Pretty cat pillow...and orange.

Last year I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she said “a present”. I asked if she wanted a specific present and she said “an orange present”. :lol:

The mini pillows are so cute, and beautifully stitched. :applesauce:

The stained glass piece is coming along beautifully.

Well done.

I love the tooth fairy pillows (especially the kitty one). I made a tooth fairy pillow for my son years ago. It had a ribbon hanger to hang it on the doorknob of his bedroom door.

Brilliant idea and beautiful pillows, Roland. I really love the style of the writing too :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

One of my children had to write a note to the tooth fairy as he had swallowed his tooth! :)

My oldest lost his first tooth at the zoo. He was running down a hill. It fell out and half the class helped him look in the grass but no luck. Might explain why after that as soon as he noticed a tooth loose he would work at it and get it out that day.

:applesauce: :applesauce: :whoop: :whoop: :applesauce: :applesauce: Starry Night is fabulous, absolutely fabulous, you must be very proud of this one.

Zelda is beautiful, I do love stained Glass pieces, it's coming along beautifully.

Sally, you are right it is never too early to start stitching for Christmas, what will this stocking look like when it's completed?

It’s a penguin with presents and Christmas balls. Was a freebie with a magazine.

If I can get it done in time I want to make a second stocking this year.

My son also loves penguins. So he was a bit miffed that I am making this for his wife’s sister who is having a baby.

I told him it was time to put on the big boy panties. And will be looking for some penguin boxers to give him for Christmas. :lol:
