AW: my partial DIY mobile (PIPs)

I saw this DIY bird mobile online, and I really liked it, but thought it would probably be more useful to have an actual mobile on the crib.  But I still really wanted to make the birds!  So I bought a cheap mobile on clearance at BRU and attached my own birds to it.  I am NOT an experienced sewer; the birds have a few imperfections, but not too bad.  WDYT?  I'm going to attempt to make some little stuffed owls next.

    That looks great!  I am thinking of trying to make one of little airplanes for my little one.

    I have a bag of stuffed cats that my mom and I were making when I was on WW the first time.  For every 1# I lost we would stuff and sew a cat.  The plan was to donate them to a thrift store or shelter but now that she is gone I haven't been able to part with them.  I may turn a few of them into a mobile.  That sounds like a great idea. 

     Yours looks awesome btw.

    The mobile looks great! I think I had the same bird tutorial bookmarked Smile I plan to make an owl one once I gather enough energy. I sewed a rag quilt for my friend's 2 year old and got a big ol' blister on my thumb...blah! lol.

    Very cute! I also made one with birds and owls (although I used felt) and I have to say the owls were much easier and forgiving to imperfections than the birds wereSmile

    Great job!  On a completely unrelated note, is your crib the Graco Lauren?  If so, do you have the mattress pad thingy on the highest adjustment for newborns?  I set mine up on the highest adjustment, and while I don't have the crib mattress in it yet, it still seemed really low, like it would be difficult to reach in and pick up a newborn without REALLY having to reach over the side.  Do you find the same thing?

    Yes, it is the Graco Lauren.  It's on the highest setting, and it does seem low to me, especially since I'm only 5'1.  I guess I'm going to see what happens.  I read a post yesterday where someone suggested standing on one of those aerobic step things, that could help and be sturdier than a stool.
