Toucan

I had a fun little commission this week: remember my elephant cushion?

Well, a nice lady bought it from my Folksy shop and she also wanted a matching mobile: she liked the owl ones, but her son's nursery had a safari theme, so she needed a creature to tie in with that theme. We decided on a toucan!


The customer had a clear idea of colours/fabrics etc - all I had to do was adapt the pattern from here!

I'm quite pleased with the way he turned out - I hope the little tiny baby likes him too!

    Kirsty, he's absolutely fab!! I also got hooked on that original bird pattern...I love your versions back in 2009. Would it be ok if I copied you 'Robin' version for my own personal use and as a gift? It's such a lovely idea. Please do say no if you don't want me to, I won't be offended. Lots of love, Amanda xxx

    Oooopps, Kirty! So sorry, I've just been reading your archives and saw that you sell the little robins. I'm terribly sorry I thought they were some thing you had made for fun, which was stupid of me actually. I wasn't thinking. Please forget that I asked. I feel terrible about it. lots of love, Amanda xxx

    Your toucan is fab, sure to be popular when the baby gets older too.
