Penguin or Owl?

Let me know what you think: is this a penguin or an owl? Help me decide. Leave a comment with your vote: most votes decides for me. He is made from one of LaMont's orphaned socks. His hat is part of a wool thrift store sweater I'm unraveling. Penguin or owl, I think he's cute.

Pillow Case Dress for Little Dresses for Africa

   Started a little dress from a pillowcase today. Worked on it when I was away from home, so I basted a binding strip from the armhole cut-out fabric from two pillowcases. It's all ready to sew down with a sewing machine now, and one pass will sew both edges of the binding. Then I will fix a front and back casing and put 6" of elastic in each. The only suggestion I have from their directions is that you do the casing AFTER the binding of the armholes, instead of before. I will have Eagle Eyes for pretty pillowcases now. There are lots of them on sale this month.
      Disclaimer: the picture of the five little dresses above is from the Little Dresses website; I didn't make them, but aren't they pretty? I've been invited to show a Girl Scout troop how to make them.

Little Dresses for Africa and my Clean Table

http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/
This group makes cotton dresses for little African girls and shorts for little boys. The site shows a dress you can make from a pillowcase or you can make a dress from fabric from your stash and a simple pattern you have. I just saw this on Nightly News' "Making a Difference" segment a few weeks ago.

                    And here is my table today: one week and counting!

Jaeger the Imposter

Anyone can see he's NOT from England! More like Venus or even farther out.

Not sure if he is done yet, or not. Probably he is.

Owl from Recycled Old Clothes

I like her!! She's about 14" tall.

Small Sock Doll For Audrey.

I made it with removable clothes, as Audrey will be five soon and is getting to the age where she can actually dress dolls as well as undress them.

Ta Dah!!! Table is Clean Again, FINALLY!!!!!
