Peekaboo lizard!
A bear and a piggie. Something I learned about making little fabric books - pick bigger focus fabrics. The bear and the piggie are kinda lost....
A kitty and a duck. The kitty is my favorite!
A puppy and a cardinal. Cardinal is a little small. I had to add him - I love cardinals!
And a bunny. I really don't like this bunny. Don't know why. I put him in because I needed another animal.
This was so fun to make! It's small - about 3 x 4 inches - but just right for little hands! It has no batting so was easy to stitch together. It's completely washable, too! Quiet for church, Ok to chew on, would be a cute gift - I'm making more!
I discovered I really don't have many novelty/conversation prints in my stash and this is akin to a crime! So, my new quest when it comes to stash building is novelty prints. It was all I could to not to run out to Hancock's today looking for some! Besides the fact that I am absolutely, totally and completely broke, that's not how I shop. I really like to 'find' fabric as opposed to shopping for it. I haunt estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores, and occasionally the really cheap bins of scraps at fabric stores. It's better for my budget, makes decision making easy (there are way too many fabrics out there to choose from! I need a limit.), and makes my stash very, very interesting.
More soon!

OOOOOO! I love the book, Trish! I love the peek-a-boo animals! Your lovely assistant is even better than the book. I remember when you were my lovely assistant and I didn't get nearly as much done as you do! You, go, Girl! You make me so proud and pleased! Actually, you are STILL my lovely assistant; I'd never make it without you!
Love,
Mom
