Tooth Fairy Pillow

I was thinking the other day that it's been awhile since we've had a visit from the tooth fairy.  When my oldest was in kindergarten she came pretty frequently but her visits are few and far between now.  Not that I'm complaining.  I find loose teeth to be kinda of nauseating.  I couldn't pull any of my own as a child because I was deathly afraid of wiggling and yanking a tooth out of my mouth. Yuck.

But that is not the point of this story...

After the first one came out I wanted her to have something cute to put the others in.  I had one of those generic little treasure chests from the dentist.  I'm sure you may remember what I mean.  You could only open and close the lid a few times before it would snap off.  I really hated that!  So I grabbed some fleece and leftover embroidery thread and whipped up this little ballerina.

I stitched a little piece of felt onto the back for the tooth to be kept safe. 

The pink material was actually part of a onsie she wore as a baby.  Sigh...where have the years gone?
