Christmas Show and Tell

I facebooked a while back about being the "homemade" Aunty, and finding it to be just a little bit harder each year as my nieces and (especially!) nephews get older. I went for something completely different for the boys this year, and it sounds like they are quite the hit...  It's a bird, it's a plane, nope - it's a PERSONALIZED SUPERHERO CAPE!

The pictures don't really show them off, but my 2 and a half year old didn't want to model them for me so until I can convince her to show off hers (yup, capes aren't just for boys!), it's the best I can do.  I may have also saved my sisters-in-law from having to get too creative for Halloween!

Not to be outdone, I did have to come up with something cute for my curly-headed little niece, so since my other niece got a tutu for her first birthday it was time to make one for Miss M.  I gotta say, I think I'm getting into this tutu thing.  I LOVE these colours together.  Purple is the colour of choice in that house, so I added in some blue, green and yellow for good measure.  My daughter was a little sad to see it leave...

Hello January!

Where oh where did the last 2 months go? 

We have a zillion posts just waiting to be written, but in the meantime, here's a Happy New Year from the Playful Peanuts (no, these are the sewers - yet - they are just the inspiration behind our little business :).

First up, the "original two."  Pardon the sweaty hair and goofy faces.  These 2 play hard when they get together.  And they're 2 and a half, need we say more?  Is there any way to properly prepare a parent for 2 and a half?  We don't think so either, but we love them just the same.  :)

Then there's a our new little man.  Who I'm sure is really, really hoping for another little male peanut soon.  There is no doubt he is smothered with affection from the little "mothers" above.

So from our peanuts to yours, have a WONDERFUL 2011, and keep checking back because we did resolve to update this blog a little more this year than we did last year.  :)
