Day 56

This is Baxter the Bunny.  He is my finished critter.  I just need to pick up a card and a few goodies to go in the package.  His new home is in Ohio.

Day 55

Here are the critters!  Well, critter prototypes in muslin.

L-R:  Prototype one, stencil, and the much better prototype two.  They are unstuffed and faceless, but, I am just getting the sewing bit down.  I know how to embroider the eyes, nose and mouth.  

Day 54

Critter creation in progress (okay, the shot is a little staged, but, I made the object!).  Notice the theory book in the background?  Yes, the husband was quizzing me while I worked.

Day 53

I recently signed up for something called a "Critter Swap."  Basically, you send someone a hand-made critter and someone sends one to you.  In order to make a critter, you get information on your person.  Based on that, you create.  I have never sewn anything in my life (other than a button).  This is the drawing and the stencil for my critter.

Day 47

My new project!  Learning to sew!  My MIL gifted me her sewing machine last weekend.  Today, I went the local fabric store and got loads of remnants (some huge!) for £10.  This should be fun!
