A lady at work mentioned that her grandson liked pigs. I thought that I would give that a go given I seem to have accumulated a plethora of pink fleece.
He is very cute. I am thinking of giving him to the lady at work for her grandson. I am very pleased with the way he turned out. I am getting a little more adventurous with my patterns. I have graduated from the two piece body to putting together over 30 pieces. I have been hand sewing as my new machine isn't all that good for the fiddly bits (I still love it though. I keep my hand in by making copious amounts of shoe bags. Good thing I have a lot of shoes!)
I was also trying to keep with the bunny theme that my friend has started. My bunnies are not giving me as much joy as the pig. I sewed these on the machine and the lines are a little harsh but I think that they turned out OK. I feel that I may have overstuffed them as they are rock hard. Not the cuddly bunnies I was hoping for. Not bad for a first attempt though.
I attended a family gathering on the weekend and was so pleased to catch up with all of my nieces and nephews and their new babies. They are all so cute. I am not biased at all. See for yourself:
Aren't they all just adorable? People keep asking if it makes me clucky being around all the babies. No. I love all my great nieces and nephews but I don't want to have a baby of my own. When they squirm, poop, cry or act up then I can give them back. I get to have them at their best and that way we all have a pleasant experience.
Now I must go and clean up all of the mess from my creative juices that squirted out during my toy making escapades in preparation for my husband coming home from another long day at work. Now I need to think about what to make next?
