Tooth Fairy Pillow Was A Big Hit

The baby shower for my nephew's wife was yesterday. It was a wonderful event and she got some really cute (and tiny) things for the wee one. I wish you all could have been there when she opened the gift from us. The look on her face when she saw the tooth fairy pillow was fabulous. It made all my frantic stitching feel like it was worth while. I've been promising you pictures as soon as the shower was over - so here they are. The first picture is a close up of the tooth fairy pocket. The image doesn't do it justice - but the trim around the pocket and the pillow has these wonderful little tufts of metallic and pink and blue threads. It makes it look almost shabby chic.

This is a close up of the ice cream cone and some of the bigger dots. Again, just to give you a feel for some of the stitches and threads.

This is the back of the pillow. The finishers at PFOS were sweet enough to put my initials and the year on that adorable blue and mint green leopard print.

And here is the front of the pillow. Again, the picture doesn't do it justice. It is a wonderful mix of mint green, pale blue and pink. I am very pleased with the finished product.
Hope you enjoyed getting a chance to finally see it. Thanks for all your support while I was frantically stitching this. I feel like it was a true team effort.

Now I need to get busy working on the second tooth fairy pillow for our other nephew and his wife. That baby is due in March, but I need to have the pillow back from the finishers by mid January.
