Moths

I have been making small toys to start selling them. It is going to be hard because I love each one of them. The pattern is from Lilleliis. She has some nice patterns. It is fairly easy to make this pattern and not much sewing. I love this pattern so I made a few of them But I always keep the first ones I make. They are cute even without wings as you can see. I normally put a rattle in each toy but I left these without.

My daughter's creative bee

This is how this bee came about. My daughter drew some bees because she is an artist. Not a famous one but she can draw and paint more then me. Anyway she came to me and asked me which one I liked and I told her I liked a few not just one. This particular one somehow I wanted to give it a go so I did. I tried to write the pattern as I go but when I unpick I loose the place. I feel like quitting on that idea of writing my own pattern but you should never give up. The wings were tricky I made  three wings and I finally decided on this one that I used. The legs gave me trouble I couldn't fit the wire in because the way I do wire is a little bit of polyester filling around the ends and tape it for safety around who ever touches it. I love the colours yellow and black but I find it hard to work with dark colours at nights even though I have stronger lights on. Anyway here it is

beautiful bug

I love this pattern of this bug. It was easy but I had a little problem with the wings. I am going to make another one different colors. I bought the pattern. I wish I can make my own but I was always good in copying then creating, who know maybe one day I come up with something good. I knew that the wings were done this way but following someone else could be confusing at times. You too should try one of these bugs. They are so cute.
