oscar had a little lamb
Oscar has recently been picking up on animal sounds and is particularly smitten with sheep. Whenever he comes across a picture of one, I hear BAA! BAA! BAA! over and over until I acknowledge that, yes indeed, that is a sheep. It is pretty cute.
With that in mind, and since I haven't sewn in over a week (oops), I whipped up these lamb pillows during Oscar's nap today. I'm sure you've seen the project before ... it was originally posted as a tutorial on The Purl Bee back in March. Or maybe you saw Dana's adorable fleece version on MADE.
I also used fleece for my lambs for both the bodies and face/limbs. It makes them very snuggle-worthy and will be much more washing-machine friendly than the wool felt (although that looks lovely). I also turned the legs upside down because I liked the rounded end better than the pointed end. Sometimes I get really wacky like that. ;)
With only four weeks to go until baby sister arrives, it is definitely time to start crafting in double time. I embroidered the kid's names on the pillows ... though I doubt that will stop Oscar from claiming both lambs as his own. So to my dearest friend Megan, who said I would never make personalized crafts past my first baby, I say, ha! Take this! (and also, I love you)
