Commissioned work

So, after my Lavender Penguin, the new owner of it was showing it off to her sister.   And her sister loves it so much that my friend commissioned me to make one for her.  It's totally a pleasure to make a project for someone.  I always find it more joyful to craft for someone or for a goal.

I was more than happy to do it for her, especially it's for her sister.   I also stuffed it with lavender.  I thought I was being smart this round than last time, I didn't stuff it with as much of lavender as I did the first time.  But, it still weird to move it to shape of the penguin.  It didn't quite fit and I have to add more stuffing and try to round things out.  It didn't come out as I like for it to.  And the arms weren't even for some reason.  

Either way, it will be going to NY to meet its sibling and then separate to the other sister.  :)  I'm just touched that someone asked me to make something special for their family and it connects the 2 sisters. 

So, this is what I've been up to... well, that and I'm working on a granny square blanket too, that's going to be on-going for months to come.  

My friend Michelle and her husband have 2 pugs and a mutt.  She wanted a pug when I made a piggy a while back.  Now I got a pattern for a cool pug, I finally sat down and make it.    The pattern is from Ami Ami Dogs.    Hope they like it!
