Getting crafty with Tutus

As I was breaking out the tulle this morning to make a few more Tutus I realized that I never blogged about my homemade Christmas this year, even worse is that I didn’t take pictures of their presents all boxed and ready to go.  And honestly I didn’t make a lot, for my family, as I spent way too much time making stuff for the craft show, that I didn’t leave time to get the family stuff all made.

So, I improvised.  My Sisters got a mix of hand made stuff left over from the craft show, with a movie, a recipe book and a wine guide for making a date night at home.  My nephews got handmade DS cases, made out of neoprene and some money to treat themselves.  And my nieces each got a Tutu with some money to treat themselves.

Apple got a Tutu as well.  Here, I was thinking she was going to love it and I would have lots of pictures of my sweet little girl dancing around in her Tutu with her princess shoes on.  Well, she has worn it once, and that is it.  I love the Tutu, it is so fun and fluffy.  With a Tutu you can be a ballerina or a princess, the choice is yours.  I still remember my Tutu I had as a little girl, I wore it until it was no more.

So for now, all I have to show you is a photo of Apple’s Tutu and hope that in time, she will want to wear it more.  Now, back to making some Tutus for other little girls, who apparently love them.

    SOOO cute!! Maybe she’s still just a bit too young for it? K has only started being interested in dressing up lately and he’s 3.5…

    OHHHHHH!!!! That is sooooo awesome! I want one for Little One!!! You are so very talented, my friend!! BTW, I’ll be in your ‘hood two weeks from now! Well, sort of. We’ll be in Kingston for my nephew’s 3rd b-day and to visit the twins. Are you selling your tutus on Etsy??

    That is so adorable! I would have loved it as a little girl. I had a blue one from my first ballet recital that I wore and wore and wore. My mom still has it too and she had sewn it.

    Apple will come around!

    This is one of the nicest I’ve seen – just the right amount of poof and length. I think it is also one of those toys that can get a lot of use over a period of many years. She’ll probably grow to love it. 🙂

    They are gorgeous!! We love ours and I have a 4.5 year old little boy who wears it on a regular basis 🙂 Definitely a perfect gift, L loves it too.

    OH I wish I had a daughter! Although I am sure if I had one my M would wear it. He is an equal opportunity dress up kind of kid 🙂

    I want to be more crafty!!! The tutu is adorable and I’m attempting to make more gifts this year instead of buying them.
