A break....

I took a break from knitting to venture into some sewing with this book. I love it! There are so many cute ideas and I just had to try them out. I wanted to make this puzzle ball from the very beginning, but had used up all of my stuffing with the birds. I finally was around a supply of stuffing (not cotton, I'm afraid -- my mom had plenty of polyfill hanging about that I used instead) and got to work. I also had to improvise for a template. For the record, an old CD works great, even with a rotary cutter!

And here's my fourth project from the same book. Four! I can't believe how much I'm using this book! This pattern is from the author of Wee Wonderfuls. I never considered stuffed animals to be something I had any interest in making, but now I'm changing my mind. I just have to get so I can give the finished toys away, though -- what will I do with all of them? Right now they are both sitting right next to the television....
