\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I realize that I’m milking this Valentine’s theme for all it’s worth, but I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m as sappy as they come. I recently found myself sobbing at the end of the movie Brave<\/a>\u00a0and I think K may have been embarrassed of me…<\/p>\n

So, I had made a fleeting mention of making a tipi<\/a>\u00a0for K back in the, oh, pre-Christmas historic era. \u00a0And then time got away from me as it so often does, and I sneakily declared that I would make it for Valentine’s. I have now punted it for her birthday in July, for which such a massive undertaking seems appropriate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of a tipi, I opted for a much less strenuous route and assembled a little Valentine’s gift pack with a pillow and a pouch, and remembered that I had gotten her some scented pencils. Three lovely items that begin with the letter P. Perfect!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pillow and pouch lining is this fantastic sturdy cotton<\/a>. And remember the pleather monogram keychains<\/a>? I used the same stuff for the pouch’s outer fabric. I still have so much of this material left. Maybe K would like a silver vest? Or a pair of pleather pants?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t use a pattern for the pillow or the pouch since I’ve made so many of these (though perhaps I should have consulted instructions because the pouch came out a little bit wonky). Once out of their plastic containers, those\u00a0pencils<\/a>\u00a0will definitely fit inside the pouch! They’re powerfully fragrant though…maybe too fragrant to be taken out of the plastic on a regular basis…At any rate, what I love most about these pencils is that they’re made out of recycled newspapers and I was pretty excited about the mint chocolate scent because that’s K’s absolute favorite ice cream flavor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I stuck everything into one of her toy baskets and have it cleverly disguised in my room under strategically placed (clean) laundry right now. I can’t wait for her to open it tomorrow – she’s going to love them! And hey, she can use that pillow in her tipi one day.<\/p>\n
