What I've been up to....

*Photographing bunting

Cherries and blossom

*looking after little Easter chicks that just hatched and still love staying close to each other in order to stay safe;) Probably penguins confuse them a little bit.... They do have wings but they don't fly??!!

More in yellow...

If you follow my Facebook page, you probably met my new addition to the Easter collection.
For the little girl chick I've used one of the Hunky Dory fabrics by Moda. I just love this pattern with flowers. There are so many different colours in it that it will match pretty much any felt!

Girly chick

When I looked at my shop, I thought that there are too many girls in this collection but not enough boys. For the boy, I used the fabric by Riley Blake.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Introducing: Easter collection

I've been working on this collection for a few weeks and I should say that making these toys was so enjoyable! I love this stage of the project when I get to match fabrics. Each toy collection has it's own container of fabrics. I allocate certain fabrics exclusively to owls or penguins that are suitable for their size, felt colour and character.

For colour inspiration, I used this two pictures. These little chicks are so adorable and I was surprised to discover how many different colours I can make my chick in.

pictures found here.

So, I took some yellow and different shades of beige or light brown felt, fabric that I thought will suit baby chicks like linen with tiny sprouts and ladybirds, flowery cottons and organic Leaves shell by Coud9. All chicks are free-ranged and love nature!

Butterflies seemed to be a good match for this chick as she is quite outdoorsy and love sneeking under the fence to wonder around meadow;)

Hope these baby chicks will bring you happy smiles and joy this Easter!
