I saw this tutorial and just thought it would be so neat for my granddaughters. They love the “princesses” and would love playing with these. I didn’t copy all the steps because it is a little long.

Fabric Houses
Posted: February 28, 2012 in children, Easter, gift, grandchildren, houses, sew, sewing
I saw one of these dollhouses on Pinterest and thought it was so cute. I have added the link for the tutorial so you can make them yourself (http://uklassinus.blogspot.com/2008/08/fabric-dollhouse-tutorial.html ) . This would make a nice Easter gift for a child or even a birthday gift. The pictures show some houses or barns that be for a boy or a girl.
I am planning to try it, too. It looks like so much fun! I may just make them for my granddaughters.
Just a word of warning – be careful with your children and your dogs. Children have a tendency to hug and kiss dogs. Most dogs do not like this. Sometimes they show anxiety. This is a good site that explains it. http://doggonesafe.com/Signs_of_Anxiety
Babyccino? What do you think?
Posted: February 16, 2012 in BABYCHINO, children, COFFEE, DECAF, parents, trendyI have discovered that children are drinking coffee in coffee shops that has been labeled “babyccino”. It is suppose to be made with decaf expresso. Here is a picture of a little girl drinking one. I am not quite sure if this is a good idea or not. Even though it is decaf coffee, isn’t there a little bit of caffeine in decaf? It is served warm/hot. Isn’t there a chance of the child burning themselves? And is it being served to children (some as young as 2 years old?, just so the parents can be labeled “trendy”? What do you think?

Children’s Chalk Placemats

These are placemats that have been made with chalkboard fabric. It even has a little pouch where chalk can be placed. These will keep little ones busy at the table while waiting for their food. I made these from a free pattern from Bernina.
