The first thing I worked on were some fabric animals that I am going to applique on to the 4 plain black squares which will be on the jungle quilt. I also have bought the black fabric and plan to cut those pieces today, then I can put together the rest of the quilt. I LOVE these animals and think they are very adorable. They were quite simple too so watch out because everything may be getting embellished soon, at least the plain stuff! They should look really cute on the quilt too because these are all animals on the fabric.
The other thing I worked on were some fabric shoes. They are made to fit a newborn but could easily be enlarged for other sizes. I decided to make these for a friend of mine who is due in June. I also figure I will make some for my daughter and also my SIL is due in June so there's no shortage of babies. That's not even counting the newly pregnant women I know! I found the pattern and directions here. They are a bit tricky at parts but overall generally easy. I was doing these assembly line style and currently have 6 pairs halfway done!
Best part is they are reversible so you have 2 pairs for the price of one!
The final thing I just started yesterday is a pair of mittens I plan on making for a friend of mine for her birthday the end of May. I am hoping I stay motivated enough to finish these and that I don't get stuck on any of the steps since it's my first attempt. These are being made with yarn that matches a hat I had previously made her. This is all I have completed so far so I have a long way to go.
