projects

I'm always so excited when I start a project, but somewhere during the "fun", I get bogged down, and side-tracked by life. So, I've had this project going for a while, and just finally finished it.

My sister Michelle's daughter, Adri, loves owls. She has for a while. So when I saw this cute purse pattern, obviously I thought of her. It was a lot of fun to make. And I really love those eyes! What's not to love? (This was only the top half of the owl, but it was actually finished when I sent it. I'm sure I took a picture of the whole thing, but I can't find it right now. I'll have to add it later when it turns up.)

And then of course I couldn't leave Sally out of the fun, so I used the same pattern to make Sally a purse too. (I had a picture of Sally's purse too, maybe I'll find it oneday...)

And how would Weston feel if he wasn't in on the fun? So way back before Christmas (I told you I get bogged down) I started these cute boy dolls - one for Weston and one for Silas. They were a lot of fun to make. I've made a few different dolls, and everytime I'm stuffing them, Shawn reminisces of all the times he would sit and help his mom stuff dolls and the like. :)

Here are just the body pieces, before all the sewing and stuffing.

Here are the boys without faces.

And finally all finished.

Silas sleeping with his beloved doll. Actually he liked the dolls a lot better when they were both together, and before he was gifted it for Christmas. Funny how that works. Oh well.
