Every night Ellie brushes her teeth without a fight, she gets a sticker for her calendar. At the end of the week, if she has collected a whole row of stickers, she gets a prize.* She’s never missed a prize. Last week it was a set of felt tea bags that I made to go with her tea set.** This week, it was some itty bitty buddies and snacks.
Angora and Cashmere! Even tiny things can be fancy things.
She made them a bed in an animal cracker box, but this morning they moved into the doll house. It doesn’t look like the peg cats mind too much.
They aren’t in the pattern, but I feel that tails are important.
The Teeny Tiny Knitted Toys pattern can be found on the free patterns page at Little Cotton Rabbits. You’ll have to scroll, but the cute you pass on the way to the tiny toys makes it worth it. Especially the Easter egg ornaments (keep scrolling)!
*Prizes (and presents of all kinds) were called “ho hos” (in deference to the greatest present giver of her young life) until last night when she started to call them “prah.”
**These were an enormous hit. Not only did she make tea in the little tea pot, she made it in the cookie jar and in the dollhouse bathtub.
of course they were a hit! she has a great imagination and I was wondering if the new kids would make it to the doll house 😉
The colors and characters of the first picture are shoutin’
“Ellie in Wonderland!”
Life is good, eh.
Lovely!
Those are very cute and fun gifts. I wouldn’t miss a prize either if I knew I were getting one of those.
I would like to see the tea bags.
Emily I love you like crazy and miss you to pieces!! I’m so glad you’re still blogging. And Miss Ellie is the most darling child in all of creation. Forget my five. She. Is. IT.
So where do I go to find out when the next wee tiny sock swap is? *smooch*
So, so cute!!!
Those are darling! could we see the teabags, too? my little girl likes tea, and I think that she would enjoy pretend teabags, too.
I want a prize. I brushed my teeth every morning and night, and I want a felt teabag, which will not stain my teeth like my regular teabags do.
