Livin’ in a Dress Up Castle

August 23, 2012 By Jenna 2 Comments

And that was a word from my sponsor!

Onwards.

I am so excited for when Ellen wants to play dress up. I already asked my dad to make her a cool dress up box (Because he is talented like that and made me one when I was little…remember those dad? The built in ones in our basement? So cool.)

Anyway, I can’t wait to see what kinds of fun things she dresses up as. I already bought her a little doctor’s coat, some scuba flippers and various other odds and ends.  I keep my eye out for things when I am thrifting or garage-saleing. And although she doesn’t use the stuff on her own, I sure have fun playing make believe. Here is Ellen as a beauty queen-astronaut:

In addition to the random stuff I bought her, Ellen has an abundance of tutus. I always said I wouldn’t be that mom who bought her daughter tutus (and quite honestly, my mom does most of the buying), but why the heck not? In a world where things are so politically correct and confusing, why not celebrate being a female and just how beautiful and fun that is?

I digress. Let me get to the point. I was talking about tutus, not trying to start a gender revolution. So, tutus. Among Ellen’s various tutus (polka dot, flowered, red, pink, etc. etc. etc.), is a really cute Christmas one. It is red, green and white (duh), and made by my good friend, Lisa. Ellen loves it, and can really wear it year-round because we are Italian, and that’s just national pride, bupalina. Back when we first got the tute. Look, ma! No hair!

 

Not only did Lisa make her a really cute tutu, she also made her an adorable paci clip and a tote bag that Ellen uses as her baby’s diaper bag now. Check them out:

So, Lisa didn’t ask me to write this post. She is just such a sweet friend who loves children and crafting. Check out her Etsy shop (for girls and boys) and show her some love. She does special orders too!
