Toothfairy pillow

I can't believe it, but my little one has her first loose teeth. She refuses to sleep with a pillow, so I knew about a year ago that I had better think of something else. Then AS&E #70 came this cute little toothfairy pillow. I ordered my kit immediately. And there it sat, and sat, and sat. Then about a week before Christmas she comes to me with a loose tooth! So between making cookies and making Christmas dresses for customers,and decorating, Christmas shopping and everything else, I smocked on this.

To give a scale here, this whole thing is a 5 inch square. So cute and little. Made out of silk dupioni it has a regal feel to it.

I can't believe it, but my little one has two loose teeth! They have been hanging on for about a month now and she refuses to even move them. So I guess we will wait until the adult teeth push them out before she will get to use this, but here it is.

All those small seed beads around her that are the fairy dust took me more than four hours alone. I am thinking this will be something that she can pass down to her daughter one day.
