Lena's Patterns Giveaway

One afternoon
Two little children hushed off to sleep
Four small feet to cover

Birdie has always loved Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, but even more so, for reasons I've yet to fathom, he loves the derivative Goodnight Moon 123 even more.  I read this book to him every day.  Twice.

Photobucket

So, when I got a hold of the Indietutes sponsor Lena's Patterns Mary Jane Shoes, like the little old lady who lived in shoe, I knew just what to do.

Photobucket

I loved this shoe pattern by Lena.  Birdie loves them too.  He's been wearing his Goodnight Moon counting shoes since the moment I put them on his feet.

Photobucket

We are seriously crushing on these shoes!

Now, before you run down to the bottom of the post to enter the giveaway for Lena's Patterns you know is coming, hold on a moment to see what my friendly neighborhood princess ballerina is now sporting on her royal nimble tootsies.

Photobucket

It thrills me that I was able to make shoes for a toddler and a six year old from the same pattern. 

Photobucket

Princess Smootch's new slippers have already given several enthusiastic performances.

Photobucket

And now, at the end of the day here, I can hear The Man in other room arguing with both children, trying to convince them to take off their new shoes for bed. 

Thank you Lena for a fantastic pattern!

Goodnight children.
Goodnight footwear.
Goodnight creative people everywhere.

    My little Sprite's favorite book is I will not ever never eat a tomato, from the Charlie and Lola series by Lauren Child. We got hooked on Charlie and Lola on a trip to the UK. The binding of the book is breaking, but I refuse to buy another because I like the British spellings and grammar! It reminds me of our trip.

    Those slippers are amazing! Oh I can't wait to see these patterns (checking them out as soon as my comment is posted).

    My little girl's favorites change from time to time, but she has some that she comes back to very often: Mr Brown Can Moo, Can You? is one of them. She loves to imitate the sounds as I read the book. She also loves The Berenstain Bears (we have about four of them) and rotates which ones she reads. And there are also the Karen Katz books, she really enjoys them. There are so many books she loves I have a hard time picking, haha.

    Love the ballet slippers! I have a five year old ballerina who would adore those.

    My favorite book is by H.A. Rey, the author of the Curious George books. It's called "The Stars: A New Way to See Them", and is a book of astronomy.

    I had it when I was little, and our girls have all enjoyed it, too. It's a great introduction to the stars for children, with memorable drawings and illustrations.

    No kids live in this house, though I have many minor visitors. However, the favorite book in this house from when *I* was a kid is How Babies Are Made. The birds and the bees explained in paper cutouts; my siblings and I were fascinated with the book for years. I kept the original when I rediscovered it in my parents' attic.

    Hard to decide between 'Peepo' by Alan and Janet Ahlberg, and 'Pish! Posh! said Hieronymous Bosch'. We still quote this one, even though we are nearly all grown up now - you can't go past lines like:
    "... in this vale of tears, you take what you're sent;
    feathery, leathery, lovely or bent..."

    Well, what can I say, there is no little one in our house yet to claim favorite on a book. That little one is still in my belly and won't be around till September. But we are already building up his/her library with books both of us loved as a child. Like Little Bear and Friends, The Velveteen Rabbit, Classic Winnie the Pooh, Wind In The Willows, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and so on. By the time this little one actually arrives, they will have plenty to choose from. :) Am I still allowed to enter?

Lately we read whatever we ca get our hands on. My three year old loves her bedtime stories regardless of genre or intended age of the book.

    My sons favourite book int he house would have to be his 'Truck' book. It is a simple board book with a different sort of truck on each double page. There is not a lot of text - just one sentence about the particular truck, but what I love is how it has grown with my son. STo start with, he would make the different noises, then named each truck as I read. Now we use the familiar pictures for counting (wheels, lights), colors, and using descriptions.

    Our favorite book is I Love You Stinky Face. My 6 and 2 year old think it is so funny and it has a wonderful ending :)

    My kids LOVE Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems - especially when Trixie goes "boneless". My 10yo laughed a giant belly laugh the first time we read that (he should know all about going boneless since he spent ages 2 - 5 primarily boneless himself).

    We love books of all kinds! One I have always liked is "Where the Wild Things Are." Cliche, but still such a great book!

    Our current, reigning champ is "Pete the Cat". Who wouldn't love a story where the moral is "no matter what you step in, just keep walking along and singing your song. Cause it's all good!"

    Currently we are enjoying all the Fancy Nancy books. But we go to the library every week and get at least 15 books so we read other stuff too!

    Each Peach Pear Plum by Allan and Janet Ahlberg.
    I remember it from when I was little and can still recite every page. The kids love finding all the characters on each page in the book. It's lovely. :)
