This edition of Crafty Tuesday is brought to you courtesy of Emma Grace.
I finally finished the “Mommy Pants” that she has been longing for for oh, so long. Not to be confused with the Mom Jeans, the coveted lounge pants are pretty much all I wear around the house and now Em has her very own pair. She is now officially a mini-me.
I love the gingham contrasting material that I found in my scraps box. And Emma adores them. She told me three times this afternoon how “comfy” they are and how much she loved them.
They are just a tad too short – could’ve been a wee bit longer considering they will probably be capri pants by next week. As I was tucking her into bed tonight, she touched my arm and said, “Mom, I just really want to tell you thank you again. I really love my Mommy pants.”
*Pop* – that would be my heart nearly exploding. That kid is too sweet sometimes. Then I promised I’d make her some more and she did the fist pump thing and said, “Yes!” She’s so funny, too!
This was her first craft to come home from first grade. They had to make create a picture of themselves and then write about all the things they like to spend time doing…
I love the “1 stistr” (that would be one sister) and “playdates firends” (playdates with friends) but the best ones are football and the “NaFL” – hahahaha. I guess Daddy has to spend a lot of time tied to football and the NFL, and she loves Daddy, so therefore she loves the NaFL, too! Hee.
The pants are darling, but Emma modeling them? Even more so. There’s nothing as heart warming as a genuine “thank you” from your kiddo.
Too cute, she looks great.
It is so rewarding when you make something that they love so much. Those pants are adorable. I bought the book, but have not had time to make any pants. I think Harper would love a pair of mommy pants. I would love a pair of mommy pants too. Em’s picture is too cute. That one is a keeper.
LOL, that is so cute…NaFL!! I’m sure daddy is proud of that one! Love the pants….I put on my lounge pants and comfy tees the second I get home! What a sweet girl~
great job on the pants! they are really cute! (bean has those kitty pj’s too, by the way)
LOVE the picture she made.
Don’t know what’s cuter, the pants, the model or the Emma craft!? I too love the gingham contrast. Isn’t it great when you find something so perfect in your scraps box???? Makes up for that box taking up a heap of room in your closet!
And you don’t know how many times a week I see friends spelled firends! Even in High School !!! At least Em has a reason!!!
I’ve posted the next phase in quiltland….
Her mom lounging pants are so cute…great job! At least she can wear them as capris, too, so that isn’t a big deal. NOw you know how long to make them, right??
LOL at that Mom Jeans episode. Oy vey…I hope I never go there!
The lounge pants are cute…and it’s so cool that she’s so proud of them since her uber-talented mommy made them!
I have a feeling I would live in those Mommy Pants, too! How awesome that she was so full of appreciation, too!
