I think it was about two years ago I longingly thought it would be super-duper fun to make felt creatures and sew. Time, materials, and know-how was an issue. But after getting some books, creating some horribly stitched creatures that fell apart right away and then practicing more, I think we are having fun! The kids have actually been learning to sew, which I have blogged about on "Roots and Wings" blog, but these are some creatures I put together. I made a set of three animals for baby E's birthday. She gives the koala kisses and seems to understand that *I* think they are important at least...haha.
Then my younger son wanted a "potato pirate". I kept asking if he wanted brown felt and he kept saying red. I then realized he was actually asking for a tomato pirate. Potato pirate was finished today finally, after much nagging by my son, and he is a super happy camper.
I find stitching to be relaxing as I am by nature a bit manic, must do all things now! personality. It is great to sit down, slow down, and stitch. It is meditative and relaxing. The kids love their creatures, too!
