cute lil storm

While I was mostly immobile waiting for baby to make her debut, I was inspired to make a mobile for the baby room.  I found inspiration here and here.

David helped make a pattern for clouds and a lightning bolt.  I used scrap fabric that I have on hand.  Mostly neutrals, as with the rest of the baby room decor, but I couldn't resist adding a funky and colorful pattern.  Sewed and stuffed!  I used tiny pearl beads for rain drops on a couple of them.  The little pillows are strung from a painted embroidery hoop with plain white thread.  Lil baby Magpie loves staring at it when she is in her crib.
