Pray With Me

alexis and caprice started these pillows at activity days. they are prayer pillows. cute huh?! well, like i said they started them and they have been sitting on my breakfast table for weeks. so during all of my alone time this past week, i decided to surprise the girls and finish them.

ta-da!

alexis cut her pillow and all the letters for her name. she even sewed most of them on. i only tied and stuffed for her.

wha-la!


caprice needed a bit more help. while she had the cut out of the pillow, she didn't know what she wanted to do from there....so this is what she ended up with.
