2019 Elf on the Shelf Ideas

I know its early but its never to early to start planning fun !!!

Frozen Theme - Elf on the Shelf Ideas

I expect Frozen fever to hit us again this November when the new film hits the cinemas. Will we ever be able to "let it go "!!!

Here are a few ideas I came across on the net, some are quite simple and cute.

Princess Dress for my own little Princess

Every little girl loves to dress up and my Isobel is no different. I have her a little bit spoilt she doesn't want the same one as everyone else. We have emerged from the tomboy phase and everything is now princess, pink and sparkles.

So with her request in hand I took to the internet to source fabric. I was so excited to find a fabric, containing most of the Disney Princesses.

Next task was to find pink and sparkly, so I bought some bright pink sparkly wool. I used simple granny squares to make the top of the dress, we had a few trials for size to make sure it was comfortable.

Then I added lining to the dress and sewed the materials together. I attached my crochet top to the bottom of the dress by hand sewing it. It really was a labour of love, as my patience and speed with sewing is something of a challenge (plus Isobel underfoot excited to get the dress on wasn't helping).

Finally it was well worth, the research, sourcing and sewing to see her face when she put the dress on, and the burst of pride when someone says her dress is lovely and she replies "My Mommy made it" makes it all worthwhile.
