Dit lieve knuffeltje maakte ik op eerste kerstdag. Het doet me denken aan het kindeke, gewonden in doeken en gelegen in een kribbe ... Het idee kreeg ik toen ik op de weblog van Rhythm and Rhyme rondkeek. 'Swaddle dolls' worden deze popjes daar genoemd, ik denk dat het zoiets als 'wikkelpopjes' betekent. Ik heb het popje op mijn eigen manier nagemaakt. Hieronder kun je stap voor stap zien hoe: Neem een tricot hoofdje en leg het in het midden van een lapje vilt. De grootte van het hoofdje kun je zelf bepalen. Hoe groter het hoofdje, hoe groter het lapje! De oogjes heb ik gemaakt met drie draadjes bruine splijtzijde. Ik heb een liggend streepje geborduurd, zodat het lijkt alsof de oogjes gesloten zijn. Het mondje heb ik er later op geborduurd met drie draadjes rode splijtzijde. Het is handiger om dit meteen te doen! Zet het lapje vilt met een speld vast op het midden van het hoofdje en vouw de zijkanten naar beneden. Sla de zijkanten over elkaar heen en zet ze vast met een speld in de kin. Zet het lapje rondom het hoofd vast met een paar kleine steekjes. Ik heb drie draadjes splijtzijde gebruikt. Zet ook de bovenste 'flap' vast met een paar kleine steekjes. Festonneer nu van boven naar beneden de overslag vast. Vul het popje van onderen met wat wol en vouw de onderkant dicht, als een cadeautje. Zet dit flapje vast met een paar steekjes en festonneer de bovenste rand. Borduur eventueel een sterretje of bloemetje (of iets heel anders!) op de overslag.

I've been on a blog hiatus (reading them as well as posting; I miss you guys!) due to an extended vacation to my home on the West Coast of Canada followed by a summer of single-parenting due to the fact my husband comes home only to sleep these days, he's so busy with work and school. Neither am I sewing, which pains me greatly. (I did manage to successfully alter my best friend's wedding dress on a borrowed machine back at home though!) The one creative thing I have managed time for these past few weeks is this skeeball game I crafted from cardboard and hot glue for my kid's fourth birthday party. It's nearly life-size, and features faux lights made from water balloons. I studied photos of skeeball games to get the bump just right (without it, the ball won't bounce up into the hole). It worked perfectly. I wish we got some video of the kids playing with it before it was destroyed (inevitable considering it was made from cardboard and four-year-olds hopped up on birthday cake are as good as your worst drunken party guest. They took particular delight in pulling out all the balloons and stomping on them until they popped. I hope none of our neighbors have PTSD; it sounded like a shooting range in there for a while). I believe there was some interference going on there. Note all the "lights" were smashed by the time the parents got to play I know. How could I have "no time to blog" if I had the hours to make a cardboard skeeball game? It didn't take me that long, and I loved it. If only "making shit with cardboard" was a viable career option.
