December Day Sixteen

Earlier this year, I did some pattern testing for Juliet of Tartankiwi.  I pulled the blocks out recently as I have plans for them. And realise that I haven't shared them all.

So first of all we had Grumpy Cat, of which I made two —

Next was Grumpy Bunny —

Then Grumpy Old Dog —

Finally Grumpy Guinea Pig —

I had fun and games with the eyes for this one. I fussy cut some fabric that I thought would be cool.

But it made her look like she at at some wild party (or something) —

The look Juliet was going for was Grumpy not Wired so I played around a bit.

Below I cut a circle of black and pinned it on top of the original eye. Whew, she'd calmed down a lot, so I decided to hand sew it in place.....

But then had a lightbulb moment and coloured the crazy in with a pigma pen, which worked pretty well.

Hopefully tomorrow, I'll be able to show you what I am doing with these.

Miss Tammy kept me company in The Palace today. I can see I'm going to have to have a big tidy up so that she doesn't end up in all-sorts-of-things —

But she did wear herself out and found a nice sunny spot to sleep. She looks so innocent in this photo!

'til next time,

happy stitches,

Raewyn.
