DIY Felt Giraffe

4.23.2015

DIY Felt Giraffe // Easy Felt Project // Hand sew GiraffeI know what you’re thinking. Really. I’m a mind-reader. I took a class once and now I’m a bona fide psychic. You didn’t think you could learn to be psychic did you? See, I can read your mind already. Soon enough I’m going to be drawing in more crowds than Theresa Caputo of Long Island Medium (who I love, btw). We”ll probably start touring together. You should get my autograph as soon as possible.

As an encore performance, I’m going to read your mind right now: You’re thinking that I’m doing another felt animal project? There is probably a critical undertone to your question too, but I’ll let that slide. Because yes, I am doing another felt animal project. Why? See photo below:

Easy DIY Felt Project, Hand-sewn Giraffe // DIY Giraffe

After I previously posted my DIY felt animals, a friend of mine mentioned that her son would love a giraffe. Because I’m not in the business of disappointing anyone, not to mention a little boy as adorable as the one pictured above, I got right to work on a felt giraffe. I used the same site as before for this pattern, loosely based it on the giraffe pictured. You can find the giraffe pattern here (and many other animals as well).

He’s tiny, he’s felt, and he’s adorable. What could be better? I know a certain little someone who wouldn’t put him down long enough to take a photo. Good thing I took one before I sent him off.

    Hey, I read on your “About” and you have written that you like to travel. My question is; have you ever traveled to Sweden?

      I have not! I have been to Amsterdam, which would be the closest I’ve gotten to Sweden!! I’d love to go someday, it’s on the bucket list! Do you live there?! 🙂

I've become a Stay At Home Mom to Sawyer, and I would do it forever if I could! I'm originally from Wisconsin and am a total Cheesehead! I'm here to share DIY's, travel tips, and baby stuff I'm sure!

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
