some stuffed stuff

This little bird was a holiday project made from the 70"s placemat that I found in the local thrift shop up at South West Rocks , during our annual summer  pilgramage north. No sewing machine so I had to do him all by hand (I forget how much longer it takes ).
I unpicked the binding from around the placemat edge and used it for his wing  then highlighted a few clovers with embroidery.On being asked for his opinion, Damian  said that he thought that it was a great looking fish but wasn't his fin on the wrong way.... actually he does look a bit fish like ( the bird not my husband) but I was quite happy at my first birdy attempt.

These three catlings began as Easter rabbits for my girls but I decided midway that I would prefer them a little more feline. The black and white wool I picked up at Vinnie's , the blue tapestry is another South West Rocks find ( oh, and they have beautiful beaches and divine oysters as well as two op shops) and the red/ green/ white is from my barkcloth stash ( more on this later....)
