Granny Teddy.........


Hi there!
How has your week started? Have you got a busy one planned or nice and cruisey like us still on school holidays? We are going to be doing a few things for the second last week of the holidays, and my niece is coming for a couple of nights, so it should go pretty quickly. My sister is about to have her baby any time this week, so it is all quite exciting!



Here is the latest addition to my granny animal toys, he is supposed to be a teddy but has turned out a bit ambiguous! I just keep telling myself he's a teddy, and that it takes all types of teddies to make this world, he's just a less pretty version of teddyness!


Had to unpick the face several times, as getting the colour combos right and my stitching neat took some time, I ended up using a 4ply for the embroidery as my usual 8ply looked too chunky.




I am so enjoying making these guys, I have nearly finished another one, I'll show you all tomorrow, although you are all probably sick of seeing softies! Sorry, but I have still got a few more to try out yet!

Have a great day!

    OMG, this guy is so cute! I've never thought of granny-ing a teddy. My little boy is almost 6weeks old and I haven't even thought of making him a teddy yet!
