DIY Wild Bird Feeder Hanger (taking a Bear Break)!

This weekend has proven to be a letdown in the bear making department, so I decided to take a break and make something for my bird feeders!   I have a couple hummingbird feeders that were hanging from my tree with red ribbons.  The ribbons faded and it looked terrible.   I was going to take a trip to the store and buy some hangers but as I was doing laundry, I decided to try to make my own from a couple Dry Cleaner's hangers.   It was so simple and they turned out great!   Here is a picture tutorial showing how easy it is to make!  I'm not sure if this will hold a lot of weight but it works great for my hummingbird feeders!





I hope you have a lovely Sunday!   Back to the bears for me!   Hugs & Blessings,  Janice

Finished a Yorkie Puppy from my Moxy Fox Pattern

For those of you who sew, you know changing fabric and making a few changes to a pattern, you will achieve a completely different look.  I love the size and shape of my "Moxy Fox" pattern, so I decided to revise it and make a little Yorkie dog.   The fabric I purchased is not what I had in mind (though I did find the right fabric in my stash after searching this past weekend...after it was too late and I had already cut the pup from my ordered fabric).  Anyway, I do think she turned out cute and even though her coloring is more gold than the tan I was hoping for, I think with her airbrushed accents, she looks enough like a Yorkie to call her one!   Her name is Bindy and she is currently on eBay.   Click Here to go to Bindy's eBay Auction - ends Thursday morning!
 Below is the Moxy Fox Pattern Revised to make Bindy!
Have a wonderful week and if you are creating, try making some changes to a pattern you have used before to see what you come up with!
Hugs & Blessings,
Janice

New Pattern in my etsy Shop & New Booh on eBay now!

After being on vacation, it has been a bit difficult to get busy but I think I'm finally back in the swing of things! Thank goodness!  I designed Bunnielove to offer the pattern in my etsy shop and it was also available in the 04/14 issue of Teddy's Kreativ (a German Teddy Bear Publication).    I have yet to see the article but am looking forward to my copy of the magazine coming soon!   Here is the link to Bunnielove's pattern in my etsy shop  ... Bunnielove Pattern - 12.5" Lop Eared Bunny - etsy Shop
And...a new little Booh is finally available on eBay.  Clementine is a new design - she's a sweet little 7" handful ... her auction ends Thursday, July 3 at 8:30 a.m.   I hope you will peek in on her auction!  Clementine's eBay Auction
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs & Blessings,
