| I went to a wonderful birthday party today for a terrific 4 year old! This is the gift that I took. |
 |
| By suggestion from my creative friend, Johanna, I sewed Charlie a pillow, complete with a bunny friend. She found these pillows on other blogs and thought the idea would be great! She was SO right! I fell in love with the idea right away! |
 |
| I free-handed a small bunny to fit inside the pocket, and then made him out of a donated bath robe. Incidentally, the bunny’s whiskers glow in the dark. |
 |
| And I even added a blanket pocket in the back. I mean what kid does not have a favorite plush toy AND blankie they carry around? I thought after making it, that this would be the perfect idea for kids to take to a sleep over…they have it all in one hand, and it’s easy for little ones to carry. |
 |
| And a carrying handle. The striped fabric is from Ikea. (I got this fabric from the children’s textiles area, but I do not see it listed on their website at this time). |
 |
| This is cute, 4 year old Charlie! |
And a ton of my friends were there from church… , but here’s a few I managed to take a picture of:
 |
| Nathan and I with my friend, Johanna. |
 |
| My friend, Sidney, and her 7 month old son, Mauricio. I agree, “Aww” : ) |
 |
| Arren and Johanna |
 |
| Joel, the proud Daddy of the birthday girl today. |
 |
| And Leslie, the talented Mommy, helping her princess out with the gifts and the crowd of kids! They are expecting their 3rd child this next spring…how exciting!!!! And it’s a girl!!! |
 |
| Is this Charlie, or Rapunzel? I don’t know either, but she’s so super cute! I’d take her home any day! |
 |
| I think she loved the pillow and her new bunny friend. She was all smiles! Happy Birthday, Charlie!!! |
