A Masked Butterfly!


Here's a super sweet butterfly I made out of felted wool for my daughter. (she loves 'em and even has a butterfly backpack) The pattern is from a great company called 'Wee Wonderfuls'. They have a website and even an etsy shop... worth checking out! I rarely use patterns but with 3-D stuff, I need a little help :) The eyes look better with tiny buttons but she rips them off... so this masked, winged soul has dark blue stitched eyes. Thinking a Christmas tree would look great with lots of these butterflies!!

Foggy Figuring

Mini border
Yesterday afternoon, the couch was beckoning me...(my daughter woke at 3am to eat and 'play' which caused my drowsiness) so I brought my quilt stuff and began to sew as my son pushed his train table next to the couch so we could be 'together'. (so cute)
Continuing from yesterday's post... without much thinking, I just cut some squares in half and snipped off a bit on the end. Boom, my mini-square! Proceeded to sew it onto the woodblock - although it's not perfect, I like it. Still not sure how well it'll fit into the rest of the squares but will worry about that later. Amazing how being tired sometimes cuts out the 'middle man' of uncertainty.
