FSNI February

Good afternoon ladies!  Something unprecidented is happening today - I'm getting my hair cut.  OK, so I've had my haircut before, but it's only been 2 months since my last appointment, instead of the usual 2.5 years!  My hairdresser may faint...

Yesterday afternoon I spotted that Heidi had belatedly put up the notice about FSNI - I think she lost track of the days, I'm the same in February, it's so short that it confuses me.  I jumped right in as I had some serious hand sewing to get done.



It's my gorgeous nephew's first birthday next weekend, I can't believe it's gone so fast.  We're going down to see him and I had no idea what to make him until, at the last minute as ever, I found a pattern I had won in a giveaway and knew I had to sew it up for him.  It involves this

and this

Please try not to notice the terrible wonky stitching.  I think it was that floss (and it's not an excuse!) as I then did the green bit and that's not wonky...  I didn't get all those animals embroidered last night either. 

The cow and horse were done earlier in the week.  I had terrible problems with the horse's mane and it's still not right... but Jacob will be 1, something tells me he'll be more interested in seeing what the horse tastes like than scrutinising the stitching.

I'd also finished the sheep and the rabbit earlier in the week.  That sheep is so cute!

I'd also already done the rooster but I did the pig last night.  I'm not happy with his spots, they're too small and there's too many of them.

I sewed the duck whilst watching 999 Park Avenue and the chick and the barn whilst watching Hoarders: Buried Alive.  I definitely think I'm a hoarder in the making.

Now I just have to get these bad boys sewn up, I'll share the pattern details with you when I show you the finished product.

The next Friday Night Sew In is March 22nd but I'm bound to forget so someone remind me please!
