My dear baby Penelope is turning ONE on the 12th…this means, Eeks, I need to get a move on with all her first birthday projects. So far, I have finished two of her gifts. The first is her tutu which I was planning on having her wear in her first birthday professional pictures that we’ll have done sometime this week. Imagine, if you will, my little Penny nakie with only a diaper and this adorable super fluffy tutu, I know, seriously cute! You can find tutu tutorials all over the internet but I found mine here.

The only other project that I have finished so far are these rockin’ bean bags that I made using all the letters of her name, totally sweet! I just loved how these turned out. They are about 6 1/2 inches tall by 8 inches wide. So they are a great size for learning her letters, playing catch or whatev! I saw the idea for these on a really neat blog called Make It and Love It. This girl has some neat ideas…I’m glad I found her blog and I plan on checking it out again soon to see what else she has up her sleeves! Hope Miss P likes what I’ve made for her so far…I’ll need to finish a few more things in the next couple of days so I’m going to have to hustle. I’ll try to keep you posted on the ongoings.
