Mommy Has SOME Talent, I Guess

OK, maybe I’m not a complete domestic zero.

Cordy wants only two things for Christmas: a magic wand, and a ballerina skirt.

Have you seen the prices for tutus?

No way, not buying one. So I bought the materials and made one. I think it looks pretty good for a first try.


I can’t wait to see her face on Christmas day. Too bad the jolly fat man will be getting all the credit for it.

  1. Wow! That looks great! Much better than I could have done!

  2. Oh, I like it! Looks better and fluffier that the ones you pay outrageous prices for. Great job!!

  3. That is very cool! Much better than store bought 🙂

  4. Good for you! Let those creative juices flow.
    Cheers

    This is my calling card or link“Whittereronautism”which takes you straight to my new blog.

  5. That looks great! Where to they sell kits? I can’t do anything crafty but my little ballerina would love a very special tutu.
    Great job can’t wait to see pictures of her wearing it!

  6. It’s lovely…give yourself some credit. Not everyone could make that by themselves. I bet Cordy will love it…and through her, so will you. “santa” has many names…doesn’t ‘he’?

  7. Holy COW! That’s fantastic!! Did you just conjure that up out of your brain? I am so impressed!!
    My daughter loves tutus, too 😉
    Hmmm. Wonder if I’m talented enough to do that.

  8. It looks absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see pictures of Cordy doing some ballerina spins!

  9. you did great … maybe you can retire early … start your own business! Nice! Love it …

    Oh that is so airy fairy quite contrary! She is going to LOVE it – the striped band rocks.

    I now christen thee Mommy Story Stewart.

  11. Fantastic! How did you do it?

    Wow! That is gorgeous! I feel a home-based business starting up. (wink wink) If I had a daughter, I’d definitely by a handmade tutu from you.

    Merry Christmas!

  14. That looks great, Christina – rock on wit’ yo’ bad self! I, too, look forward to seeing pictures of Cordy twirling in it. Or maybe even some of that newfangled video stuff the kids keep talking about. Tee hee!

  15. Excellent!

    I had no idea tutus were expensive! I had never checked the price (because I have boys.)

  16. Wow, mommy has got loads of talent!

  17. looks good to me! i am SO not the craft mom. a tutu is way beyond my abilities.

    i bow to your superior skillz.

  18. My 2 1/2 year literally LIVES in her tutu every.single.day. It is ripped and stained but she still insists on being a “pincess” every day.

    I was going to buy one for a cousin for Christmas (but found something else). I was pricing them on ebay and found some really cute ones for less than 10 bucks.

  19. Great Job! She’ll be over the moon!

    My granddaughter only asked for a puppy dog trash can. We looked high and low with no luck.

    However, yesterday her Aunt C scored. She was in WalMart and ran across a puppy dog whose arms were wrapped around a fleece blanket. C took the blanket out, found a trash can that slid into the space and VIOLA! Puppy Dog Trash Can!

    I cannot wait to see her face! Be sure to take a picture of Cordy in her lovely tutu!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  20. You are definitely NOT a domestic zero if you can make such a gorgeous tutu. Cordy will love it, what a lucky little girl. Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas.
