It was sunny this morning for about 15 minutes. We haven’t seen sun in over two weeks, so that was nice, I guess. Roxy and I went to visit our friend Alyson from playgroup to see her new baby, Zach. I got to hold him for nearly half an hour – oh he is so…
Help, I’m drowning…
Well, I made a little froggie. He is sitting up and smiling at me as we speak. Look at those bug eyes! This guy was fun to make and there will be others – perhaps some with inside out seams? I was so inspired by Hillary at Wee Wonderfuls link to Tamar Mogendorff. Her dolls…
Bunny #3
Okay, the newest bunny is finished! This one is also made out of a thrifted 100% wool scarf that I felted in the washing machine and wool felt for features and tunic. She also has a little flower button sewn onto her pocket with metallic thread (oooh, metallic thread is cool – it just got…
#2 Bunny
Here is my second little bunny. His body is made from a 100% wool scarf (originally from J Crew, but I found it this weekend for $2 at a thrift store) that I felted in the washing machine. It is so soft and fuzzy now! His (or is it a her? hard to say) features…
Bunny
Here is my little wool felt bunny. She is wearing a little A-line dress with a smart side pocket. Perhaps she needs some shoes? Hmmm…. I hope you like her. Another is soon to be in the works. In funny baby news, whenever our now 14 month-old Roxy sees a baby, or even just a…
Three Cards for Three Babies
I am in the midst of putting together lots of baby presents. A woman in my playgroup just had a baby boy and another is due in mid-June and I’m going to a baby shower for an old friend of ours this weekend, so I spent some time today making little t-shirt cards for everyone….
Omiyage
Charlie and I are about to head out for a nice night on the town and I have to pick up the babysitter in just a minute, but I wanted to post some omiyage that I made a few weeks ago. They are both little butterfly bags and the pattern is from this book: They…
Another little birdie pouch
As usual, the second time I make something I am more satisfied with the results. This little birdie pouch is made from pink and green calicos with brown wool felt lining the pockets inside and felt wings and beak. I like the colors better than the last one, and I put little leaves on the…
Bird Change Pouch
(click on the pictures for a larger view) Yesterday I saw this site, posted by Alison at six and a half stitches (thanks!), and I decided to try to make a birdie pouch. I created a pattern and set to work. The outside of the pouch is made from a vintage cloth napkin and the…
Erica
Here she is at long last – my newest doll. Her name is Erica and, like me, she is a surly brunette (notice that she is giving you just a hint of a smile). Her body and shoes are made of wool felt (oh how I love wool felt!). She has a cotton calico dress…
