a little inspiration

(You can still sign up for the Block Swap until Friday the 12th. Sign up on that post or shoot me an email.) We are having V-day presents a little early this year... Since we have nothing better to do and I am trying to use this time to catch up on the blogging and sewing I always think about but never quite squeeze into the day. I have wanted to make a soft toy for the Bug since before he ever got here but I couldn't decide what. I wanted something out of natural fabrics that wasn't complicated and left a lot to the imagination. And recently, something he can chew on became one of the things I was looking for. Enter Last Minute Sewing Gifts . I have made a couple things from this book in the last couple years (which apparently I never mentioned here because I can't find them.) This little guy is made from sweater felt I have had for a while. Being 100% wool felt makes it the perfect toy to snuggle and chew on. It is super soft and squeezable. The orange is my fav...

I hope you all had a lovely St. Valentine’s Day! We sure did. (These are from The Black Apple. I got them a month ago. They are called "Mr and Miss Sweetiepie". From this amazing woman. I love that they kinda look like us!) (I did the framing myself. I am very proud of how close to perfect the ribbons are. I gave them to Seńor for Valentine's.)
