Just One Birdie

At the same time I purchased the Owl pattern (see previous post) I also got this bird pattern from Gingercake. It's even easier than the owl, if that's possible! Again, I modified it a little. I used felt for the eyes instead of fabric, and finished the wing edges rather than zig-zag stitching them all. It looks better and will stand up to baby play longer!

An Owl or Two

Last week we noticed that Halcyone loves the owl on our Pandora skin. She'll look at him and giggle, talk, and smile. See, he's really cute, right?

I was reminded of this cute Gingercake pattern I'd purchased back in December. We think one of the main reason's she likes him so much is because of his huge eyes. This was a super fast project. So here's what I ended up with! I modified the pattern a bit so that the head would be a different color and the wings have some cute rick-rack.

I'm working on another one for a friend. When it's done I'll post it too!

Belated Christmas

I started working on this ornament the end of November, finished the main pieces in the beginning of December, then stalled. I didn't have any large beads for the finishing touches so it never made it to our Christmas tree! While sorting through my current projects last week I found it, added the buttons and recently acquired beads, and stuffed it! I'm hoping to make a few more of these over the next few months to have a nice batch for this coming Christmas! The pattern can be found over at Attic24. Super easy!

Yet Another Gift...

Here's another wool pincushion I made as a Christmas gift! (I promise, this is the last pincushion!)
