The ribbon is vintage from Les Bon Ribbon, and the wool felt is from A Child's Dream Come True.
Traditionally I have made the other two crowns the eve of the child’s birthday, so why change things now and have less stress, right?! So the crown was sewn on Saturday night {late} and all the preparations were made of hanging the birthday banner, wrapping the presents, and setting up the birthday table for the morning reveal.
We all came downstairs together while Elise discovered her new crown on the table with baby pictures and birthday ring. We lit the three candles and she blew {with some help} them out.
After a long day and many memories made, I found her passed out on the floor. Notice the leggings . . . she pulled off her tights at some point and put them on without any help! I was quite amused and thrilled at the same time of her appreciation of something handmade just for her.
This morning she was excited to wear her new knitted hat until it got to be 60 degrees outside {we had an unusually warm day for December}.
She had a really great day that was created all for her.
