I tried my attempt at getting crafty today! I found these really cute patterns for animals made out of gloves and decided to give them a try! Apparently Marth Stewart featured them on her show not too long ago... After some quick looking this monring I found everything I needed at Wal-Mart and the Dollar Tree.
After a few hours, this is what I ended up with. I have decided that the project would have been much easier with a sewing machine, but I did everything with hand sewing and glue today.
My mom has told me that she has an extra sewing maching that she no longer uses so she is going to bring it down to me next time they come this way!
I am actually looking at a few books at Amazon to make other glove and sock animals. This will probably be some great crafts for the kids to work on when we are all at the cottage during the summer too!!
I just think that these little guyes are so cute! This one has some minor issues and will have to figure out how to fix them with the next ones - for example, the directions did not have anything in them on how to attach the head to the body so I had to wing it! When you look at him closely you can see where it needs to be done differently, but for a first run I am not complaining!!

Very cute bunny. I know how tedious hand sewing can be! I have a quilt I completely did by hand. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm glad someone is enjoying my photos of the Straits.
