Excuse the crappy pictures but that’s all I had the energy for this evening. I had a long day. I really wanted to craft. Woke up thinking about it, a friend came over and got me thinking even more about it… and the baby has decided that mobiles are the best thing EVER and I still haven’t finished his. So that was my project for today. To finish the mobile for over Luke’s bed in the little boy’s room. I got the pattern from Spool. I decided to make them more uniform than the examples but still with fun funky fabrics. I set to work sewing each bird with love and after two flops that I let the baby chew on, I had finally gotten the pattern down:
Cute huh? I was on a roll! I paid my daughter to be a ‘mother’s helper’ to watch the baby while I worked, I took nearly no breaks except to feed baby or make children food all day long. I worked for about 9 hours straight on this mobile… and when I put it together:
Yeah… all the birds hang upside-down. LOL!
I’m sure it can be fixed but I’ll figure out how to fix it… tomorrow. Right now I’m going to bed. :P

I recently made these birds for a mobile for my daughter, too! I have yet to attempt to put them on the sticks because I have read all the horror stories about how hard they are to balance and end up like yours. If you figure it out, make sure to post the tips! =) Until then, the birds here just sit in a cute little pile waiting, waiting, waiting...
why don't u all add wings and hang them from the sticks, it is a Mobil so why not make them fly :)
Ashely, Did you see my solution? Good luck to you!
