Making It With Allie - Tooth Fairy

Hello Friends!

The Tooth Fairy is visiting our house tonight!
A few days ago, I noticed that Miss AuBrynne's bottom teeth were looking a little askew.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared that she had a very loose tooth.
Like within a week, this little thing was coming out.
And the one next to it was not far behind.
I had a little moment right about this moment:
She's barely 5 years old!! Babies can't loose baby teeth... lol

So, I started looking for fun Tooth Fairy ideas to do when the teeth started to come out.
I found really sweet ideas on Pinterest.
And decided that we will be doing a little tooth chart/wall hanging.
Yesterday, AuBrynne and I picked out some cute fabrics she liked for it.
 I thought I had at least 3 days to get the thing together, so I finished up another project before I'd start this...
WELL.
My chronic procrastination got me this time!
We were out running errands this afternoon, when a VERY excited voice exclaimed,
"Mom!! Mom!! My tooth came out!"
I get to the light and have a look at her and she has plucked this thing out and she's proud of herself.
Good job, AuBrynne!  Now we wait for the next one...
So, we have dinner and she escapes to her room to read.
I start ironing fabrics to make her Tooth Fairy Chart...
She comes out and says,
"Mom! The other tooth came out... All by itself!"
Yeah.
So we have a little talk about how we can't go plucking all our teeth out...
I think she gets it now.
However, the family keeps telling me that she's gonna yank them all out and then ask for a check...
We shall see.
When the swelling calmed down, you can see that both of those teeth are totally broken through
 and coming in at the same time.
But the little toothy-lispy-talk now is SO cute!

I used pink heat transfer  for the chart.

Here is the tooth chart, if anyone would like to use it:

Or email me if you would like a digital cut file.
I can gladly email it to you!

Now, it's time for the

Making It With Allie - Lucky Girl

I have a Lucky charm every day. 
Not just on St. Patrick's Day.
Her name is AuBrynne.


Yesterday, when AuBrynne and I sad down to decide what her  St. Patrick's Day outfit should be,
 she had some pretty specific ideas, and I knew JUST what to put on her shirt!
She wanted a sporty but girly "lucky" dress.

So, I whipped out my finicky Silhouette, fabrics and serger.
And we threw this little number together.

I used three types of heat transfer for the sporty graphic.

I layered first: Emerald City - Specialty Glitter

Then applied Apple Green Smooth Heat Transfer for the little shamrock

And finally, I applied some Orange Flocked Heat Transfer

Ok, I just had to put this little photo in... they don't call it the Windy City for nothing!
The wind kept blowing  her hair ALL over the place...

I think it turned out pretty cute. She likes it.

I think I might need one for myself.

It should be pretty easy, now that the cut file is done.

If anybody would like the cut file, leave me a note and I can send it to you!

Now, it's time for the

Making It With Allie - Thank Yous and Word Art

Hello Friends!
I first want to say thank you to everyone who took a moment to leave me very sweet notes of condolences last week.  It was very much appreciated.

A while back, I off-handedly mentioned; within ear-shot of my five year old, Miss AuBrynne, that I was thinking of re-doing her bedroom decor. I need to have my personal filter level raised, because Miss AuBrynne has been asking me ever since, when we could start.
Well, last week, I decided I might be able to get her, now guilt inspiring questions to slow down if I went ahead and painted the wall.
Ha! Right.
Anyways, I decided to let Miss AuBrynne pick the colors in her room entirely.
Actually, I told her she could have control of how the whole room gets decorated.
She took this task, completely seriously and chose some REALLY bright colors.
I debated over-ruling her choices, but decided that I could re-paint if it was truly terrible.
Well, I am completely impressed with the colors she chose and on which walls each went.
I think she might have a knack for this color thing!
Anyways, I am not going to reveal the colors just yet. Mostly because, being the procrastinator I am, I keep putting off taking pictures until it is night time and they just aren't great.
BUT! I did complete a piece of wall art that Miss AuBrynne has requested.
She has requested a few VERY specific things to complete her room.
I made a piece of word art in the style of the old New York Subway Signage.
I went through a bunch of some very fun photos that I have of Miss AuBrynne all over the island of Kauai, the place she calls "Ahhh...Home"
I used Lime green Canvas in the 9oz weight and then some really cool Pearl Heat Transfer.
The letters actually look like the Mother of Pearl you find all of the place in Hawaii.

Miss AuBrynne told me that she thinks her word art is Perfect. And to get started on her Surf Board, Hula Girl, Grass Skirt bed-skirt, wall decals and Quilt for her bed.

Nothing like a list, right??

So, what do you all think?

Making It With Allie - Valentine's Festivities

Hello Friends!

We have been very busy around here -getting ready for Valentine's Day.
And of course, the sickness that's been making its way around our elementary, found it's way into our home.
I HATE "the crud".  Really hate it. No more than anybody else does.
But more than I hate mice, but less than spiders...
Anyways, we made it through Valentines.
I wanted to share a few of the fun things we were able to have done for Valentines.

Remember, my "AYNIL Quilt" from a couple of weeks ago?

Well, I made some coordinating pillows for it!

And I LOVE them!

 They are reversible.

Then, AuBrynne and I prepared her Valentines.

She made EVERY decision on how these babies turned out.

And SHE decided they needed to be done on my "machine", aka: Silhouette SD.

And they turned out CUTE!

These are the cookies she decorated.
You should have seen her decorating them with a mask and gloves so she wouldn't get anybody sick!

AuBrynne chose THESE as her favorites.  They might be mine too!

How was all of your Valentines?

Now, it's time for the

Making It With Allie - AuBrynne Lou Who

Hello Friends!
What have you been up to this last week?
Getting ready for Valentines Day??
We have around here, but today I am going to share with you a quilt my daughter, AuBrynne "commissioned" me to make for her.
I just LOVE this kid!
SO, AuBrynne just LOVES the Dr. Suess story about the Grinch.
She would watch both the animated version and the Jim Carey version and read the book and play the nook app 3 times a day if I let her.
So, when we were at one of my favorite fabric stores last week, she spotted this Grinch fabric.
It was on sale, so I grabbed a yard thinking I would quickly make her a pillow case.
But then, we were picking plush fabric out for another project and she said, "Hey! I think this Pink fabric would be great with my Grinch fabric."
I first, was like, "My name is Mom, or Allie, not hey..." and silently I looked at her as if she had two heads. She looks at me like that all the time when I ask her not to leave her pj's on the bathroom floor every morning after bath.  It's her turn.
But, I grabbed some plush for her.
She decided at that point, I was making everyone else a quilt, she needed one too.
Well, later I decided we had gone this far with letting her choose the fabrics, why not let her do the rest.
So, she chose another 11 fabrics to go in her quilt.
Great.
So, I got to work, whipping this together for her.
Then, she said her name needed to be on it "All Sparkly"
Great.
But, I am Wonder-Woman, I can do anything, right?
Ok, So I grabbed some white flock heat transfer and this SUPER Fantastic Pink Soft and flexible glitter heat transfer and layered in on.
It turned out AWESOME!!
It's perfectly whimsical and cuddly and AuBrynne made the most perfect choices!
I am SO pleased with it!

She even chose the rounded corners!

I hope you can see the fun wavy quilting lines!

And after the heat transfer was added, she said it needed pink stitching around the letters.
And you know what???
She is is EXACTLY right, Little Miss Smarty-Pants!

So, I'm in love with it and love to cuddle with her under it!

Now, it's time for the

Making It With Allie: All You Need Is Love

Hello friends!
Note to Self: Remember to hit "Publish" to actually post.... I'm tired and busy.... 
Sorry this didn't get up earlier!


How are you all doing?  I hope well! And crafty!
I have been sewing up a storm and preparing some patterns for classes locally.
My bloggy bff, Jenn and many of you lovelys have encouraged me to start an Etsy store.
And I think I'm going to get one going!
Yay! I think...

So I have been working to get things together to have in the store.
The first is going to be this lovely wall hanging.

I wish glitter showed up better in photos...
But the lettering is glitter heat transfer and flocking!
I love it!

I'm going to sell kits that are pre-cut to make the wall hangings and quilts and also the patterns.

The quilts and wall hangings will also be for sale completed, for those who don't have the time to make it themselves.

So, what do you think??

Anybody have any suggestions for fun shop names? 

Do you think it needs be the same as my blog? Or Coordinate?

Now, it's time for the
