Fish Ornament: A Custom Order

December 17, 2010

A mom contacted me the other day, through Etsy, and asked if I could make a felt fish ornament for her daughter, Fiona.  It seems that Fiona's beta fish died a little while back and the family decided not to get a new fish.  Her mom wanted a special ornament to remember her fish by and I agreed to make it.

This order came at the perfect time for me. I needed an assignment to get me back in the craft room and working again, now that Josephine is starting to settle in and we are adjusting to being a family of five.  Beta fish are very colorful so I got to use some of my favorite bright wool felt bits in making this. I hope it is well received!

P.S. If you want to make a felt fish ornament, too, the pattern is over there on the left for free.  Have fun!

    This is such a beautiful sentiment and way to farewell a friend. I wish your family of five a wonderful holiday season
