Art Break! - Seahorse Embroidery

*If you want to skip this one, I don't mind at all. This one mentions babies.

This piece is for R's baby!

I sketched it out in my art book,

then onto the material.

I went with yellow and orange as my main colours for this piece, bright and cheerful.

I almost left this as just the outline, so cute!
Filling it in.

I backed it with a circle of yellow felt, to hide the edges.

I made a little 'moz' patch for the back as a way of signing my work.

Then I trimmed it with aqua ribbon and attached it to the baby blanket.

Attach it to the blanket and done!

Verdict: R loved it! It was so lovely being able to make a one-of-a-kind piece for this lovely young family!

I also showed  it to my mother, who has seen a lot of my projects, and she really liked it! High praise!

Art Break! - Simple Kitten Toy

This is just a quick project for the twins.

I used some felt I had and cut out two circles.

I then sewed them together, leaving a gap to put things inside.

After adding some catnip, I sewed it up all the way.
I then stitched around again, just to make it really secure.

Verdict: They loved it! Phil actually wanted it before my sewing was finished. XD

Art Break! - Beanie Teapot Cosy

I drink a fair bit of tea and have a lovely glass teapot, but I wanted my tea to stay warmer for longer.

I got this cheap white beanie online.

To make the head, I stuffed it with cotton balls and secured it with a white hair tie.

I cut out the spout and handle holes and sewed around the edges.

I already had some glass beads which I painted black with nail polish.

These became the eyes.

For the beak I used yellow felt.

For the comb I used red felt.

Done!

With this design (things are sewn on not glued) if you want to wash it, just take of the hair tie and stuffing, and hand wash it. Easy!

Verdict: I think it is adorable!  PB thought it was cute and liked it a lot.

If you make a beanie tea cosy, let me know! I'd love to see your work :D
