Tooth Fairy Pillow


Today is the second day of school holidays, and I am going crazy already! How messy are holiday kids?? I am taking my two girls to Spotlight today to get some fabric to make some funky shorts and skirts for them. I am going to teach them how to make them, and hopefully that will keep them busy for a couple of days this holidays! They are so excited, my nine year old Cherub (Maddi) will do anything to get on the sewing machine pedal, and the thirteen year old, Grace, likes to pretend she isn't interested. I think she is assessing if sewing is cool for 13 year olds!

Marthas six year old Claudia, has just lost her first tooth after it was loose for what seemed like forever! As soon as it was a little loose, Martha put her thinking cap on, and designed this tooth fairy pillow to sit on her bed. It is so cute. The little bag the tooth fairy is holding, has a draw string and holds the tooth and hopefully the cash that is left as a replacement! Talking about tooth fairy cash, gone are the days kiddies are happy with 50cents, all coins now need to be gold! (So my nine year old says, "You can't buy anything with 50cents mum!!)

Ok, well I am off to Spotlight! Have a great day everyone!

Gorgeous pillow, just love the pom pom trim. How wonderful to share your sewing addiction with a special sewing friend. Love the look of the cheesecake...any chance of posting the recipe

What a cute little pillow. Such a shame I never got that idea when my kids were young. They only found a coin under their pillow :-(

Oh Wow! Your the only other Maddi (the correct spelling as we say) that I know. Is she Madeline or Madison?
Love the tooth fairy pillow and I totally understand about the "gold coin donation". Inflation is everywhere !!!!
Good luck with the school holidays.

Oh, and the tooth always comes out right before bedtime when you find that the toothfairy only has big bills and has to run out to a convenience store to get some change. LOL.
The pillow is precious.
