suddenly i have 5 baby gifts to make. yeesh. i figured i'd start off with one for little penny, since her mom alex is hosting the baby shower for my friend jenny this saturday. alex and i taught a class on the history, sociology, demographics, architecture, and politics of nyc by using broadway as the main thread. we walked the whole length, all 13.6 miles, with the kids. i did it despite my slow pace and slight limp!
the puppy tail:
sewing stuffed animals is quite fun. you're essentially building it and the stuffing step is like breathing life into it. here is the bare pup before the details have been added. the little yellow threads mark where to line things up, the ears, and the eyes.
you probably recognize the burgundy fleece: it's leftover from mom's fleece suit. the pink flannel is from a pair of pj pants i once made my friend lan years ago. they didn't fit her, hence why they never made it to this blog. i had only a scrap of the flannel left! bunks is quite uncertain on what to make of this new friend...
or foe? he was only mildly curious, giving him a sniff
