enthusiasm

Posted on by

my eldest

has been home

sick and still sick.

looking for restful things to do

& wanting any way to play with the new little

sleepy owl,

she made him a bed.

really i guess it’s more like

a blanket to snuggle down into

which is perfect in the midst of the rain

and more rain that we’re having currently.

‘the brighter, the better’ is to her current liking

so i took the pic above to give you an idea of the intent of the gift.

it’s a good thing, really that the little guy has his eyes closed.

otherwise his sleepytime quilt might jar the sweet dreams right out of him

or at the very least wake him fully up.

here’s what it really looks like.

zip, zap, zut, zinger and zowy!

i love the enthusiasm of it.

i’m gonna wear less black

‘cuz this is too much fun

(don’t cha think?)

to be missing

out on.

‘wake’ taken from 57:8 of the book of psalms.

ta da!  done.
*
and it was so much fun to make.
(big thanks to karla for letting me test the pattern)

i put the leaves on backwards.
i turned the buttons into flowers.
i'm really bad at following directions
when it's not imperative that i do so.
*
*
that said, karla's pattern was clear and easy to follow
(all of her other patterns that i've seen are too).
she adds very well labeled close-up photos and drawings for all the steps
leaving very little room for error.  nice.

and i managed to finish it at night
so my littlest did not see the final project
which means i can still surprise her with it for her birthday.
*
she's gonna just love it!
