I really don't know if I am done yet
As is always the case, the more I make, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make and I feel the pressure of not-enough-time and too many ideas. I am not really complaining, it is a great problem to have and far far preferable to the no-ideas times.
I just want to make everything small and hand sewn with befuddled little inquiring heads, and chubby tummies and wibbly limbs.
This puzzled little man is also available on sale in my pattern shop using the code verysmallbusiness until tomorrow morning. Thanks to the people who have popped in and thanks for the love for the new friends. I was very unsure about these guys, thinking they might have been just a for-me kind of toy so I am super pleased that you like them too.

Ohhhhhh! I LOVE the multi colored hippo!!! He is just too sweet! ;p
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute, Jodes. We've got E for elephant, G for giraffe and H for hippo, but where is F for frog? what you up to? Just askin? ;)
ReplyDeleteyou are so clever Ms Ricrac-they are awesome with so much character
ReplyDeleteHe looks so whimsical, I wonder what he is thinking?
ReplyDeleteHip Hip Hurray for H for Hippo, He is Happening! Get the idea I think he is cute?
ReplyDeleteI love the hippo and I have my pattern. Just don't know if I want a "real" one or a rainbow one - heading towards rainbow! They are all gorgeous Jodie. Don't stop.....
ReplyDeleteFunny, the heads I have impaled on needles are the ones that no longer call out to me.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous and appeal more to me than the more intricate ones. :) only because I don't especially like sewing stuffies. But I think I could manage these widdle wones.
ReplyDeleteH is for happy too. That's what your "toys" are. Happiness all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI have this Hippo up to buy. I have never made a stuffed animal before, would this be too hard as my first project? Thanks for any help. Oh, and what is the difference between a pattern and a creative card?
ReplyDeleteHi Georgine, If you can do blanket stitch then yu should be fine to make these guys!. A creative card is a mini-pattern. In my case they are usually for something cute like a teeny toy or pincushion. The pattern pieces are still printed full size like a proper patterns , they are just for little projects.
DeleteThere is plenty of time...keep the ideas and creativity rolling
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet confused little hippos. I thought I loved the grey one and then saw the coloured one. Oh if only there wasn't a million toys in this house already, I'd rush to give him a home!!
ReplyDeleteRosie xx
Like them I LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteYou will never run out of ideas, Jod! Love your little animals; I have the little elephant pattern now and am planning a fossick through my felts this arvo after I visit Ms Flowergarden. Go you!
ReplyDeleteSo, So Cute Ms. Ric Rac. Impaled heads and all!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it would be possible for your creations to get even cuter Jod, but you've cracked it! I especially love the teensy elephant :) Now I need to find a source for really good felt over here. xx
ReplyDeleteOh Jod, they're so cute! I love the little head tilt :)
ReplyDeleteIt's both a blessing and a burden to have a head full of ideas, isn't it. I seem to spend more time thinking than actually doing though, whereas you get on a do!

'I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. A hippopotamus is all I want!' Do you know the Patsy Biscoe song? It is a favourite in my family, and we often give hippo-themed gifts.
ReplyDeleteWow - he is just gorgeous Jodie!!!! :)
