The month of August for me was filled with Octopus making & also feeling better now I'm into my 2nd trimester of my 2nd pregnancy!
The theme for August' YOE was Octopus. Niki, my July partner shared with us this great softie Octopus from Moda Bake Shop here, called 'Oopsie'!
I decided to make one first as a trial & it turned out so wonderfully cute that I gave it to a friend for her new little daughter - here's my first Oopsie:
Oh, look I can even stand up!
Oopsie teemed with a nappy/wipes fabric bag and some breast pads I made made a gorgeous baby gift:
So knowing that my first 'Oopsie' turned out great, I made my 2nd for my August partner Kim:
I posted off 'Oopsie' with some sewing/crafting goodies:
Next - onto August challenge of making 'Sigmund the Octopus' using Future Girl's pattern here.
It actually took me awhile to make as I got bored with making it & found the tentacles a pain, but when Sigmund was coming together I grew to like him: cute hey!

Wow, you have been having fun. The octopus all have their own characters and are wonderful. Really like the beads on Sigmund. Glad to hear you are feeling a better now and can enjoy your pregnancy.
love the orange sigmund photo shoot shots!
I really like Oopsie! So cute! You are a great softie maker! Sigmund looks a bit cheeky! Love his beaded tentacle.
Hope your pregnancy goes well for you from now on! Morning sickness is the pits!

Just wanted you to know that I received your door prize package, and I wanted to thankyou so much.
I love all the things you sewed. The tea bag cozy is filled with my favorite herbal tea and is in my purse as we speak. I love the pears and the mug cozy. I appreciate any thing that is sewn because I am a seamstress too. You were so gracious to be willing to offer a doorprize. Thanks again, I love it.
