my creative space...softies for mirabel
It's been a looooong time since I've made a toy!
I started this a few weeks ago thinking I'd whip it up in no time...but the embroidery took a little longer than I expected (why are all of my projects like this I wonder ??)
Instead of a button on his bottom I made a little pom pom! Please note that I made this from a kit I found at Spotlight. I'm not that clever!
Anyway, finished now and in the post today for the Softies for Mirabel appeal. Look at all the toys in the window at Meet me at Mikes...awesome
Go here to find out more...it's not to late to get a toy in...and when you've done that head over to Kootoyoo for a bunch of creatives...and someone please make it stop raining!! So over it.

ReplyDeleteLove it Kerry! Particularly the pom pom tail, it's just gorgeous, and for such a good cause too. But do you really need to ask why this took longer than you thought....it's just how things roll. All good things are worth the wait though, and your softie is definitely a good thing! K xx

ReplyDeleteI love the toy you made and what a special cause. So truly nice!
ReplyDeleteOh Kerry,
ReplyDeleteI love your soft toy....he has a character all of his own, and made with love for such a good cause.
I'd stick with your rain....we have snow all over the UK and arctic temperatures. It's freezing ! XXXX

ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me Kerry with your talent and your time - where do you find it!!! Such a great cause - I must get myself one of those sewing thingy's and try my hand at it :) Kim xo
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Kim! The secret...grown up children and my partner and I live in separate houses...and I work a four day week! However, my reading time has taken a bashing that's for sure :)
ReplyDeletethat is gorgeous - i love his target bottom...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this softie, Kerry! He is so gorgeous and will be such a special gift for one of these very special children. I hope you are feeling really good about yourself, you have done a wonderful thing lovely lady. Huge hugs to you ~ Txx
ReplyDeleteHe makes me laugh! How beautiful and how clever of you, no matter how long it took!
ReplyDeleteWe are on flood watch, the kids are all staying at home cause the local roads are all closed and two of our bridges are just about to go under (expected about 3.00pm today) So yes will it please stop raining!!!!!xx

May I just say that it is AMAZING! so cute! and the pom-pom at the back is just like a cherry on the top! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are a true inspiration for me. I hope someday to sew some distant relative of your bunny - I'm saying distant (or rather deformed ;)) because first I need to find a way to LEARN to sew. So far my fingers and hands are looking as if they have had a meeting with cactus. ;)

P.S. Spotted - NARNIA books! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! How much work and love have you put into making this gorgeous toy. No doubt someone will truly love it. x
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest toy!!! You should really make some for sale, I know I'd buy a couple for the little cousins and nieces that are going to be born in the next couple of months. They're too cute!
ReplyDeleteHe is just adorable...I am sure who ever gets him will be delighted . thanks for sharing
