woolie bunny

A bunny! I made her from Fiona’s pattern. An easy pattern really, but I made it hard for myself by using wool instead of the suggested flannel. It’s a pain trying to turn the limbs inside out with such thick fabric. The wool does give her a lovely fuzzy texture that’s nice to cuddle with. [...]

today was brought by the letter m

M is for madeleines, especially those embroidered on linen.

And M is also for monkey, made from cuddly fleece. He’s not completely symmetrical but I’m fine with it, because he’s got a cute expression. Abby loved him (or possesive, I’m not sure), she got mad when I took him away to take some pictures.

elephant blobs

I signed up for the mobile swap awhile ago and didn’t have any inspiration until the last days until I saw this tutorial. I worked on it last night and I love it. The blobs are Alexander Henry’s elephant fabric, mixed with some felt balls, and tied to an embroidery hoop with red perle cotton. [...]

love chicken

Made with this tutorial. It’s supposed to be a love bird, but it turned out to be more of a chicken. It was love at first sight for Abby, she gave it a big kiss when I give it to her right after nap.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
