Feeling Crafty

I have been feeling crafty, but I can't set up my sewing machine and I'm sick of knitting hats. I decided to pull out a book, Claire Garland's Dream Toys, and find a project. I first found Claire Garland with her book Knitted Babes. I asked Chris to get it for me and he thought I was kidding since it's toys, but he found it last minute hidden behind other things in a Joann's in a Christmas miracle kind of way.

So here is the horse I decided to make.


My construction skills may still need a little work, but I think it looks pretty good.



I hope Beckett will like it, but shhh, don't tell, it's for Christmas.

    I finally finished my stocking from our "sewing" group from many years ago when we all lived in NYC - talk about slacker!! Why can't you set up your machine?

    Melanie-- Currently we need a table sturdy enough to hold Dawnell's vintage (i.e., super heavy) sewing machine. She's on her way to Ikea right now to see if she can get us a new dining room set so that she can move our other table downstairs.

    Are you kidding me? That's amazing!! No construction improvement needed!! I wish I lived close still and that you were still my visiting teacher so I could bribe you/guilt trip you into making me one!! ;) That's amazing.

    love it! Couldn't be cuter, seriously. I think it will inspire Beckett to become a cowboy. And who doesn't love a cowboy?
