Felt Woodland Baby Mobile

Use felt to make an adorable Woodland Baby Mobile to hang in your nursery!

Making things for a new baby is so much fun! This Woodland Baby Mobile was made using felt for my baby nephew, and I am so excited about how it turned out. I'm new to making mobiles, so this was a new challenge for me. Even though it was actually very simple to make, it did take a bit of time to stitch everything together. If you've got a new baby in your life or have one on the way, I would definitely recommend giving this project a try!

DIY Plush Pygmy Puff

Make your own plush Pygmy Puff pet, a fluffy, magical creature from the Harry Potter books!

Back again with another fun Harry Potter project! Today is all about Pygmy Puffs, which are a fluffy, magical creature that is briefly mentioned in Harry Potter. My daughter loves the idea of owning her own Pygmy Puff, so we decided to make one ourselves! We had a lot of fun picking out *just* the right fabric and working together to create this little puffball creature that immediately stole our hearts.

For those who haven't read the books, here's the description according to Harry Potter Wiki: “A Pygmy Puff is a miniature Puffskein, bred in the back of Fred and George Weasley’s shop Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes at 93 Diagon Alley in London, and sold there as one of the known products in the WonderWitch range. It is one of their most popular products, as George said they were having trouble breeding them fast enough for the demand. Ginny Weasley bought a purple Pygmy Puff named Arnold in 1996, which she frequently played with at Hogwarts.”

So, what are you waiting for? Let's make some Pygmy Puff plushies!!

Embroidery is a hobby that I love doing, but just haven't made the time to do much of it lately.  After looking through the Amy Tangerine Plus One collection and saw the adorable embroidery kit, I knew it was time to get stitching again. I can always use more wall art in my creative space, so I decided to embroider a canvas!

Quiet {Flip} Book

 This is a project I have been working on since June. It's taken me a while, but I am SO happy with how it turned out!! Better than I expected! I'm not sure what to call it yet - it's a quiet book because it's made of cloth, but it's a flip/body/mix & match book... So for now, it's a quiet {flip} book!
