Fishy Pillows

I haven't even lifted a finger in those rooms I need to straighten out to get baby boy's nursery ready.

BUT I did do a little project for him during Adeline's nap time today. 

My inspiration:

I don't want to overpower the room with fish, but for the most part it'll be a little fishy theme. 

Daddy's a fisherman, and we do enjoy the hobby, so it's fitting. That and they're just cute!!

His walls are light blue, so I want to bring in some bright orange, yellow, gray and a touch of darker blue. 

Lucky for me I raided my scrap fabric collection and had just enough to make these little fishy pillows.

They didn't come out exactly how I imagined them, but I'm overall happy with them.

I wanted a stitchy, raggy, patchy look to them, and I guess it kinda made it there.

The little silver striped guy is my favorite, he's got a handsome little smile.

I had a lot of fun making these, and it reminded me of the soft blocks I made for Adeline. 

I added little ribbon tags for fins at the last minute for when he's teething later on, and I put the buttons on pretty tightly to avoid any getting lose during that time too. 

 I made a small, medium, and large, and I think they make a pretty cute little fishy family. 

It was a fun little project, and I can't wait to have some chubby, drooly, baby boy hands all over them!
