While I was making Wiggly I thought that it was a good time to play.
using up scraps and pieces to make a fun nest and bird.
This bird is from Terry Grants' pattern with only a few changes.
(no legs and no separate beak fabric)
All told I made three. One is gone to another home.
these two live here happily.
Using up scraps has its drawbacks though. I ran out of rope for this basket so it is a bit smaller but the bird still fits nicely in the little nest.
And here is Wiggly 2. Still working out the kinks but I like this one better. Wiggly 3 should be the final prototype I hope! I call it Wiggly because when you hold it or move it all those little tabs flutter and the toy seems to wiggle!
Now I have toys on hand for the grandchild!

love it! in particular i like how the fabrics coordinate. i would have played with this non stop as a child.
these sit on a table and are constantly picked up and toyed with! The little birds in the basket/nests hide all kinds of small things under them.
Fantastic !!! I love your toys.
ciao ciao
