Norman

So I have definitely mentioned my love of these dragons toys at least a half dozen times. I just can't help it. They are so fun, soft, cute, and cuddly!

I just had to take a second and give Mr. Norman a shout out however because this is the first time I had anything to do with the making of a dragon.

First a picture of the fine fellow:

Norman - A Baby Friendly Stuffed Dragon

The first thing I should mention, and you can be thankful for this, is that I did not sew any part of Norman. My sewing machine skills are zilch so this really is for the best. I helped select the felt wing color and spike fabric for Norman after picking out a combination of patchwork squares I thought looked nice together. After that, Miss Pine Hill Forest set to work piecing together Norman.

What do you think!?

I am so in love with the colors, the patchwork of the flannel pieces, etc. Maybe I'm just biased because I picked it all out, but he truly is one of my favorite dragons she has ever made! I would snatch him up for my little Year of the Dragon baby (due in two weeks!) but I think I will hold out for something a little bit girlier for my bundle of pink on the way.  :)

And now I will leave you with a few more Norman pictures:

Pins!

Little Bird Pins By Pine Hill Forest

I am so in love with these little bird pins made by Pine Hill Forest. For a long while now I've had a teal little bunny brooch attached to my very favorite yellow purse. But now I'm thinking a little bird pin might be a fun summer update to my bag. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I like the light blue bird pin with blue flowers and pink beads the best. It's so bright and cheery.

You can find these pins and more, here.
