I have this pattern. I like it because it can take the place of a stocking.
I made this for my grandson Luc.
Years ago I made the two stockings on the right. I used upholstery samples that my friend gave me and I tea dyed some fun fur for the cuffs.
This is the snowman fabric I am using to make a Christmas mitt for ...
Luc's brother Patric.
Before I left this little guy to come home, he stood up on his own for the very first time. I was the first one to witness it. I had been reading a story to Patric and Luc, sitting on the floor, leaning against Patric's crib. Patric was just sitting beside me and as I turned my head, this little guy had used the crib rails to pull himself up to a standing position. Apparently, he does it quite regularly now.
This little fellow is a chocolate moose. Not just any chocolate moose but...
he's a chocolate marshmallow Peep. Not as good, in my opinion, as regular vanilla marshmallow, but I love moose so I had to get these.
I also bought more of the gingerbread man Peeps too. Tucked away, just for me.
This week I'm linking up with The Needle and Thread Network and with Esther's blog.
Go and be inspired.

What a lovely pattern idea, so good for the very little ones, and that special moment, I can only guess how thrilled you were to be there. Lovely wee boys. Greetings from Jean
ReplyDeleteYou have very cute grandsons:) I've never had a Peep. I must take a look for them:)
ReplyDeleteThe Easter Peeps are so cute, but I'm working on being open to the new ones that are coming out. The moose looks funny. I'll look out for them here. Having your grandsons to sew for must be fun for you. Love Santa's mitten.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I am going to have to try and find some Chocolate Moose Peeps for Christmas Stockings. wonder if Walmart has them?
