I love making things for my grand kids! The tiny pieces and fabrics are so much fun to work with!

My daughter gave me this magazine about two years ago. I’ve looked through it countless times, dreaming planning which projects I was going to make, with what fabric, and for whom.
.
You see the project pictured on the top right? That’s the one I had picked out for one of my grand kids birthday. I just thought it looked so cute!
If you’d like to get the pattern, you can find it by clicking here. I love the website for this magazine! It has so many ideas, patterns, and helpful tips! The designer of this project is Jo Carter, and her website is http://www.twoowls.typepad.co.uk.

The instructions are easy to understand and follow. I must confess that as I pieced the bed, I wondered how this “rectangle” would become a bed, but as I went along, following the pattern, it all made sense and worked perfectly.

I love patchwork quilts, don’t you?

For the mice, I decided to use print instead of solid fabric.

It was fun sewing on the tails and working on their faces. As you can tell, I decided to use a fine-tip permanent marker (instead of embroidery) on the faces. I was short on time… I had to get this in the mail in time for a birthday surprise!

If you’ve got any projects or magazine clippings filed under “someday”. . . Choose one and get started!
It’ll be fun!
Happy sewing and a great weekend to you!
