Big Bday!

Homemade Birthday gifts!

Here's the horses! My Big girl has a special day today! I got these done just in time!

B decided on a turquoise rose on her GOLD fancy dress. I love the combo of colors! Zowie!

I made the horses, fastening them together with a button front and back so the legs move... I decided to make them into puppets...

B has been very artsy herself, lately, and makes puppet after puppet, See below,

So I thought, hmmm, maybe she needs a place to show off her work?

For the puppet theatre, I used one big piece of fabric, and cut the square out.

It was very flimsy, so I first used fusible web & card stock to frame the opening then I went back in and sewn around the opening, added some trim, and put up a curtain across the back.

I put sleeve across the top and put a tension curtain rod to keep it up in the door frame. I left the bottom drape very long depending on where she wants to hang it...

I love how the horses turned out, I may need to play with them some more... to see what else I can do with them...

Thanks, ANN for great idea! And sharing your artsy ideas with us!

Momma loves you girl!
