With the family arriving for a Thanksgiving celebration in < 24 hours and hopefully the baby arriving shortly thereafter, I have put an end to the crafting madness. While some people may have figured out how to contain sewing projects to one room, my creativity is apparently so large and relentless that it requires spreading itself throughout the entire house. So, I deliberated about what my final project would be, whipped it up, and have retired (temporarily) the buttons, beads, thread, sewing machine, fabrics, polyfill, needles and anything else strewn about the house.
I'm not sure what inspired this butterfly, but it was fun to make - especially the reversible part. I was excited to use the cool beaded detail that Judy had given me nearly a year ago (removed from the dress she wore to Meredith and Rico's wedding) to add some sparkle to the body of the animal.
I think we are going to hang this above the changing table - a little something to bedazzle and distract the baby. When I showed it to Craig, he noted that this baby is going to be experiencing regular psychedelic visions. Between the baby bumper on the cradle, ocean mobile and now glittering butterfly, we are grooming a future lalapalooza-goer.
