Hooverpuss

I dropped the cat treats and almost had to get the vacuum out to clean them up. Luckily Hooverpuss saved the day by swooping in and clearing the floor in no time.




The reason I reached for the treats in the first place was to distract him so I could finish this:

Teddy time

The last couple of bears have been cuddly (washable) flannel ones for two little girls. Now its for two little boys but this time I decided to go back to felt. Especially since all my flannel is rather...girly. I doubt they'd appreciate purple swirls. The time I embroidered the muzzle before I sewed it on, which led to a much tidier face and I added french knot eyes because I love doing french knots.

Now he just needs a name...Dave is going for Herbert. I love Dave but I doubt it baby.

Theodore

His name is Theodore and every lopsided embroidery stitch (note to self: next time DO NOT sew it together before you embroider it when you're a hopeless beginner!!) is stitched with love. His flannel body is made for cuddles from little arms and soon he's off to a new home where I hope he'll be loved. And of course he can't go anywhere undressed so he's wearing a dashing felt waistcoat.

stencil attempt #2

I tried again on thicker fabric, a babies $2 t-shirt. I also used a brass stencil instead of freezer paper cos I was too lazy to iron the paper on. Either way it came out so well.
