I won't make this a long post as I shared the details already on my previous post. But I have shared the shopping list of the items I bought to make these wee dudes. These aren't affiliate links or anything....not that there is anything wrong with affiliate links, lol. These are just the places I like to buy my products.
I just love how these wee guys turned out. And because I used polar fleece, they are so incredibly soft and squishy. A perfect companion to any wee ones bed.Instead of using cotter pin joints to affix his head to his body, I used Lisa's recommendation of using a nut and bolt system along with the joint discs. I have had a bit of trouble lately with cotter pin joints, with heads and limbs popping off some of my makes......and you never want to witness a child's face when a sheep's head pops off its body, lol......it's a terrifying sight, teehee. I think the nuts and bolt system is going to be much more secure. And with using a few dots of Loctite gel glue to the bolt, it seems like it will last forever. So far, so good anyway.
I just love their little faces. They look so kind, somehow. This time, I did a row of contrasting stitches around the face and eye area to make it pop a little more, and I love the result. These wee dudes will be off to their new homes next week.
And that is it from me folks. I'm not sure what I will be making next. I wish I could say that I have been busy enjoying the Summer sunshine, but Northern Ireland has had one of the darkest Summer's I can ever remember. I have never seen so much cloud cover ever during the Summer months here. Such a strange Summer we've had. Whereas in England, they've had heatwave after heatwave and parts of Europe have quite literally been on fire! I hope you are all safe and well. Poor old Northern Ireland always gets the dodgy, dull weather, teehee. At least it's not freezing..........yet! lol.
