I decided I was going to make some super hero capes for my children because they are fun and who doesn't like to pretend? I always pretended to be Wonder Woman and made lots of wrist bracelets! I remember my mother sewing many things for us children. She had some skills. I have just about close to zero skills in the sewing department but did manage to sew these capes for my children late one night at our home!
On Christmas Day, we took the children to our room at the lake. Hunter was cranky at the time but when he saw that his cape came with a plastic sword, he cheered up. They are reversible. Hailey's is yellow and pink. Hunter's is green and blue. I even found some vintage buttons in my button collection that worked perfectly. I hope they enjoy playing with their capes!
Hailey's came with a cheap wand (still looking for a real one) and a small wrapped box from James Avery. I was crying in the pictures as I told her about her new jewelry piece. She is now the proud owner of a charm bracelet. I never had one when I was younger and always wanted one. I received one a few years ago and I love it. (I have however been gifted many loved pieces from James Avery from Brady over the years!)
This charm bracelet is special because it is from three people. My mother gave the bracelet to my sister Tessa when she was eight years old. Tessa passed it along to me along with the ballet charms that were never soldiered onto the bracelet. I had those placed in the middle and then picked out two more charms for Hailey. One charm is a cupcake because this was the year I actually broke down and made her a birthday cake for the first time. The other charm is of a horse because she loves horses. I love you Hailey. Hope you enjoy adding to your charm bracelet. We love you!
