one two punch
First pillowzilla and now a stuffed van for Oscar. I'll win him over with my softies yet! This success I owe to Rosa who sent me some amazing ribbon embroidered with cars(!) and a cool Aranzi Aronzo pattern for a stuffed car and van. Thank you Rosa!
here's a shot of his little smile

I'm lovin' that van! How did you get the wood wheels to stay on? Did you have to use heavy thread?

Very cute. I've been thinking about making a little stuffed VW bus to match my big VW bus.

Vroom Vroom - Oscar looks like he's well on his way to becoming a convert!

Guess who wants me to send him your link - Pfeifer! Ha! He's very intrigued.

Groovy van! It reminds me of a VW bus. Might this be a start of a new fleet of wheeled wees for Oscar?

I love it. What a fabulous idea for a little boy.

Very cool - the van makes me think of awesome 70s family road trips! Brynne is currently obsessed with buses - perhaps I should try my hand at something similar... How did you manage the wheels?
Posted by: kelly | Apr 11, 2005 3:50:44 PM
the wheels on the van are tied on with dmc floss. I sewed them back and forth though the body of the van and through the buttons on top of the wooden wheels so that they'd still spin.
