Here in the United States, Mother's Day is in just two weeks, and what could be more appropriate than stitching up a mama for this occasion? I decided that I needed to create two kinds of mama and baby animal pairs, and today I get to share them with you!
Above you see the Loving Alpacas. They were almost llamas, but alpacas are much sweeter, which makes them right for Mother's Day, right? They are a mini pattern in my shop, which makes the pattern only $2.
And the next mama and baby is a free pattern for you!
I'm pretty sure that moms aren't too keen on having slothful kids, but this mama is okay with it. This pair makes me smile and squeal a little every time I look at it. Eep! I just want to hug them!
This pattern is sized to fit in a 4-inch hoop, with the branch going right to the edges of the hoop.
If you were the kind of kid who had to be asked dozens of times to do your chores, I'm sure your mom will see the humor in this one.
Happy Stitching!
What an adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the alpacas. Did you know that when a vet is asked to help deliver a baby alpaca they refer to it as 'unpacking and alpaca'? How sweet is that!
ReplyDeleteSorry unpacking an alpaca not and alpaca. Whoops!
ReplyDeleteThat's the cutest thing ever...unpacking an alpaca...I'll remember that!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! Your French knots are amazing. Somehow I don't seem to get the hold of that.
ReplyDeleteOh Mollie, thank you so much for sharing this super cute pattern! :)
ReplyDeleteI really, really love sloths a lot, ever since I can think (do you say that in English...??...)!
I will totally stitch this fabulous pattern. I can't wait! :(
The alpacas are wonderful, too!
I was terrible about cleaning my room. I used to just clear a path from the door to the bed and from the bed to the window so I could escape in case of a fire and call that good enough, lol. Anyway, cute sloths!
ReplyDeleteMollie you are so creative and super adorable. I love this pattern. I am printing it out as we speak and am highly contemplating stitching it on the bottom of my socks.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! That's awesome!
DeleteSo cute! Looks like my quest for a cute llama picture is still on, but I might have to get the world's sweetest alpacas anyhow.
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet - the stitchings and you for the lovely free pattern! thank you!
ReplyDeletethese are so cute. thank you for sharing... laura :)

ReplyDeleteMollie,
ReplyDeleteThese patterns are adorable! I'm not a sloth fan - I mean that they are OK but they have never excited me - but this... You are so right when you say you could just hug them. Thank you for the pattern!

Oh my gosh, the sloths are just ridiculously crazy cute!! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
ReplyDeleteI have LOVED sloths ever since I first laid eyes on them, watching a show on TV (Animal planet I think) LOVE THEM!! All these years later, I've never seen them done in any form (craftwise). These are so cute. SO CUTE... I have to make one immediately. Thanks so much for sharing your adorable design. You have made one old lady so very happy and I hope more people will see just how sweet, gentle and amazingly cute sloths are. You are the BEST!!
