On a Ladybug Named Grenadine

Still only able to do smaller sewing projects and, so, I introduce you to Grenadine. She likes syrup and is awaiting some other tiny friends. 

Like Gunter, my turtle, and the Christmas pudding, Grenadine was a random make and cut entirely free hand. I was initially going for a slightly rounder shape, then ended up tapering the body half circles a little extra making it more canoe shaped, which I actually like better. 

I was also intending to double up the felt on the wings, but as it's more decorative and I'm not going to be doing anything that will pull the felt out of shape, I ended up deciding to just let it go at one layer. All the spots have been stitched on, as have the eyes. 

I am really attempting to get back in the habit of posting more again, so let's hope this will be the start of more than just book review related posts this month! ♥
