again with the blog slacking!
Luckily this project excited me enough
that I wanted to post about it! :D
SO Daniel and I decided to check into
a mobile for Dmitri.
Well - umm they're like $50.00. Which
is crazy to me - so we didn't buy one.
But I felt he needed one... so what was I to do?
Well I decided to try and make him one!
Of course, not a fancy smancy rotating musical one
[but how awesome would that be to know how to do?!]
so I just made him a basic.
I had seen these darling birds awhile back, and was
thrilled that they offered a free tutorial for them!
So that's what I did. I thought maybe whales or some
type of fish would have been better for his [apparent] theme
I have going - but hind sight of course.
Anywhos - I'm thrilled with the birds!
They were SO easy to make!
Literally 5-10 mins. And what I love even more?
This project was free! Again with the remnants - love them! :D
I think I might make a few birdies for myself.
They just make me happy to see them.
I think I'd string them all over the house if I thought
Daniel wouldn't mind... :}
Oh - and how much do I LOVE clear thread?!
I use it ALL the time!
Best $2 I ever spent :D
Dmitri's crib. The bedding makes me happy :)
checking out the birds...
I don't remember if I posted about this guy :\
He was my practice doll using the same [except a boy]
pattern I made my Chloe doll from.
He has an eye patch you can lift up.
I tried to get another pic of the pirate doll,
but Dmitri decided he needed to be in the pic :)

so cute and SO talented. i love that you made a mobile. we received one as a baby shower gift. it just matches his bedding. i think he only became interested in it when we was able to stand and pull on it. good idea to stick it to the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteLol yes... Dmitri has a mobile that came with his pack and play. Since he's been able to reach it, I ALWAYS find him tangled in it. So this one got hung from the ceiling because of that :)
ReplyDeletecute cute! I SO wanted to make one of those - I'm glad u did! (i'll live vicariously thru your project, at least until school is out) :)
ReplyDeleteThe whales on D's bedding are SO cute! That eye patch rocks
