Chickens

One of my kids asked for baby chickens for Christmas.  He specified that he wanted them to fit in an egg and that he could hatch them.  I searched and searched for a baby chick pattern that was cute.  And the only one that I could find was one that came with a pattern from ikatbag. It came with a pattern for a big chicken as well as the small one.  One I saw the big chicken pictures I fell in love with it and had to make one (and then two more).  I laughed out loud when I was making this chicken.  I opted not to make the egg chute in the chickens (the original chicken can pop out eggs).

Robin Hood Hats


I recently made 9 of these hats for my kids and some of their cousins. They were requested by my 9 year-old for his birthday party (that ended up being cancelled because of sick siblings).   Usually I don't like mass producing projects. It gets old to make the same thing repeatedly. But this one wasn't too bad and the end result is fun.
