A Happy little Happy Stacker

Someone looks happy with her Happy Stacker!

I finally finished Addison's Happy Stacker on the weekend- Yeh!!!

It took a while longer than I had anticipated...a lot longer actually...

Hand stitching is not my thing and that sort of turned me off for a while.

Its a little lumpy and bumpy and misshapen but I think it still looks cute and Addison seems to enjoy it.

Who would think stuffing some rings would be such a pain! I thought I could just stuff it in and it would turn out even and perfect like Heather Baileys...hmmm not so.

I even googled how to stuff correctly but I am thinking I just sewed the circles a bit crookedly, oh well.

I also inserted some little jingle bells when stuffing the rings so they have a nice little tingle when shaken- cute!

What do you think?

Heather Bailey Happy Stacker pattern- love it!!!

Heather Bailey Fresh Cut fabric for the Happy Stacker

I just adore this pretty Amy Butler charm fabric. I had ran out so grabbed some more for I don't know what...

you've gotta love a yoyo!

This morning I was going through my bedside drawers and found a little brown bag - low and behold in it was the items I bought at the Gold Coast Craffest, back in March.

I cant believe I totally forgot I bought these lovely items.

Actually, yes I can believe it as I have stuff I have acquired over the years stashed all over my house!

Like I have said before I love to buy things and hoard them for "one day".

Well this weekend I think I will make the too cute Heather Bailey Happy Stacker, before my beautiful little A gets too old for it!

These are the fabrics I am going to use for the stacker.

The beige corduroy is for the centre pole and the other colours are for the rings.

What do you think?

I don't think I am going to add any ribbons as this would require too many decisions...

I will post some pics when I finish!

Have a great weekend!
