Tu-Tu Cute!

Claire (see earlier post) received a tu-tu for a shower gift and Maria (her very "vogue" mother) was so excited about and told me to look at the website. I, naturally, said, "no way would I put Lilly in a tu-tu" and then I saw the cutest little thing and knew it would be the perfect party dress for Lilly's first birthday! However, I just couldn't bring myself to spend $40. So I made one! For less than $15... look at those savings Ernie :-}

I couldn't wait to see it on someone and Lilly was sleeping and they say never wake a sleeping baby and it must be an important rule because I hear and read that statement all the time! No matter how excited one may be about a cute craft - DO NOT WAKE A SLEEPING BABY! So I tried it on one of her bears.



The bear is not a very good model, although she does smile! So I tried it on the lamp:


the lamp makes a terrible model! I could not wait for Lilly to wake up the next morning! I knew she'd be so excited....

Turns out - the lamp was the better model and actually more enthusiastic about the tu-tu.

I do hope she changes her mind about it soon because I think she may be the "Tu-Tooth Fairy" for Halloween!
