Nursery musings

image from spoolsewing.com
I'm kind of an earth girl. Sure, I like to get girly once in a while, but behind the lipgloss I'm really a very simple, and very nature loving girl.

And I love simple but artful design. And especially love handmade goodness.

So, knowing all that about me, it should come as no surprise that I completely adore this bird mobile. I'm overwhelmed by a need to make it immediately. If only I had actually paid attention to my mother during all those attempts to teach me how to sew!

I do have a basic ability to stitch two pieces of cloth together. I've done it on occasion, and it only required half a dozen band-aids or so. Based on that glowing history, I think I might actually be able to do this. For now, I'm putting it on my crafts-I-want-to-attempt list. (The list is very long by the way.)

A link to the pattern is at the site, as well as a cool Flickr link so you can see other mobiles.

  5. (icomleavwe) This mobile is super cute, do you knit? Susan B. Anderson has some lovely knitted bird and nature themed mobiles and stuff. I love the birds they are so cute. This was also one of my favorites when I allow myself to think about maybe one day decorating a nursery
