Holiday festival projects 2018

I have decided this year to make mostly toys and stuffies for my table at the holiday festival.  I really enjoy making little characters and they are, for the most part, quite easy to do and go pretty fast.  I am making them in all different sizes from miniature to grand size.

Ball that will be sold as a toy to go in the toy box

Large crocodile (very hard to make because I had to keep
adjusting the pattern) and it still has too short a tail but since
you start at the tail, I wasn't going to take it all out and do over.

My version of Rudolph using the deer pattern that I had.

This Patriot's monkey is child sized and my
most expensive toy because of the clothes.

I am starting with something new this year.  My grandson had a pillow pet given to him for Christmas a few years back.  I saw it and decided that it would be something I probably could make without a pattern.  I used his moose pillow pet as a model and used the head patterns from the cuddle pal blankets that I made last year and came up with my own pillow pets.

I have more projects cut out that I will be sewing.  I have another new type of pillow.  They are pet neck pillows.  I have them cut out and will get to them next.  I also have some more miniature toys cut out of felt that I will sew.  I have two baby blankets ready to assemble also.  After that I will go back to making some hats, scarfs, and things like that that I usually sell at the festival.
