I am pleased to introduce you to Mr. Basil Fox. He was so much fun to make. There are definitely a few little quirks that prove he is handmade, but I am pretty sure my little man is going to love him anyway.
How is your Christmas making coming along?
Wonderful!!! Did you use a pattern? Or create from scracth?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a kit created by the lovely Alicia Paulson. The link above will take you right there :) This is the second one I have done, finished Maggie Rabbit last month. Highly recommend her kits.
DeleteHe is perfect to me! I love her designs :) You did a fantastic job :)
ReplyDeleteAll of her designs are pretty awesome. I actually picked up the winter stitch sampler for myself, hoping to pick it up over the holidays :)
DeleteThank you!
I love her kits! Mister Fox is so cute! That will be for sure a very appreciated gift!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks! I sure hope so, Justin seems to think it will be his favourite stuffed toy :)
DeleteHe is sooo cute!! I've never heard of those kits- will have to check it out. We have quite a few homemade gifts we have yet to accomplish- some I'm not worried to much about, but one we are quite behind on!

You should, I bet a few of your kiddos would love to have one. Hope you find time to work on that one you are a little worried about.
DeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Goodness, he is absolutely perfect!!
ReplyDeleteLove this, I have a soft spot for foxes.Handmade comes with quirks, the two help bring a toy to life. He is beautiful, and I'm sure he will be well loved.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Me too, I love them so, and often come across them on my morning runs.
DeleteI'm so looking forward to starting on my Maggie Rabbit once I am on my summer holidays. I'm off work for a month in January so can't wait to have a few slow days of crafting, reading and tea! Basil Fox is lovely. I'm really impressed by Alicia's kits.
ReplyDeleteA whole month off work, whoo hoooo!!! You will have so much fun with Maggie Rabbit. Mr. Basil was a little more finicky than Maggie, but still lots of fun to make.
DeleteEnjoy your crafting.

ReplyDeleteAhhh, so cute! I've been wanting to make one of Alicia's lovies for years now. Next Christmas, I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meryl. Yes, I bet your little lady would love one :)
DeleteI know who I am calling if I have any trouble making one, Mr. B. Fox is great!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you will have any trouble Tracey, but if you do, feel free to give me a shout. Thank you!
DeleteI would like very much to meet this fox :) He is adorable!!!! His outfit (and pants!) are so great. I'm sure your little guy will love him! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks! The outfit is cute, but was a little hard to put together, so tiny.
DeleteThanks, you too!

ReplyDeleteI totally have been dying to make Mr Basil for my son! So funny that you've gone and made one for Reece! (Great minds think alike?) Looks like you had fun making him too - he looks lovely!

So Adorable!! I made to elven cloaks one for each girl. I wish I had a picture to share right now but I have already tied them up in their cloth wrapping.
ReplyDeleteThanks KC! Can't wait to see the cloaks once they unwrap them, I am sure they will love them. xo
DeleteAww he's so cute - and very smartly dressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do love the little outfit, even if it gave me a little trouble in the making department :)
DeleteWow. Love it. Homemade presents are the best. We just made felted soaps for the teachers to say thanx and for the merry season. He will definitely love this one! Love from Holland, Patricia
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree,they really are the best. Felted soaps are great gifts, I even love receiving them :) Hope the teachers like them.
