I am on my way to being the best auntie ever or the worst sister-in-law that ever lived. Possibly both.
I am making my 2-year-old niece a plushy for her birthday. She is very hands-on baby and wants to help with everything and be involved in the center of attention. A few weeks after her birthday everyone is going dipnetting. She is two and can not help with dip netting or do anything but watch.
So I am making her a toy salmon. And I am making it so she can filet it. It has guts. It has bones. It is all one piece and child friendly, and I am debating using embedded magnets or velcro to hold the filets on.
She has a kitchen set with a little wooden knife at her grandparents house, who have already heard about this and think its a great idea. We are gonna teach this kid to clean and process fish. She already knows where meat comes from and she will want to get in and do what everyone else is doing which she can not do because the fish are only slightly smaller than she is.
So, salmon plushy
Just a little poll to share some of my embroidery ideas and maybe inspire fellow embroidery enthusiasts. Feel free to make one yourself, and tag me if you post the result on tumblr so I can see it.
The difficulty level is largely based on the size of the embroidery. The larger it is, the easier to stitch. I do love a very small and detailed piece (see my Golden Flower Locket) but it isn’t very beginner friendly.
Anyways, all of these are on my to-do list but I already have at least four other projects to start and complete before Christmas so they’re not very high on my priority list. I already embroidered the horse-head banner of Rohan on a shirt I am making so it’s one ticked off on this list but I put it anyways for inspiration. The Doors of Durin (see profile pic) is the first "big" embroidery project I ever made and it was very fiddly with the details because of the small scale of the design.

I had this idea for about a year now and never got around to it, so I decided why not try to make it in time for this year!
ok long shot here. My mum got diagnosed with diabetes and is of course very upset. She thinks it is the end of everything and every nice meal or easy time ever. Does anyone wiht diabetes have stores to share about their life and maybe good recipie resources for nice meals?
If yes please message me any way you like!
Thanks!
Also thanks for just sharing!
Happy New Year!
