Half done donkeys

I don't know if you heard about Donktober which happened over at Missy Mac Creations. It was a ri-donk-ulous month of donkey inspired projects. Very cool to watch. I bookmarked some things and thought, maybe one day. But because I'm less crafty and more quilty, and i'm not a huge fan of gimick fabrics, chances were slim i'd ever get my ass in gear to make any of them. I mean what am I going to do with a giant donkey quilt... Don't answer that. Who wouldn't want a donkey quilt.

The thing I like'd the most was a cute pattern for a donkey toy. Well when Erin put out a challenge to make a toy to donate to Project Mirabel, I thought I might attempt the donkey.

I had bought some lovely hot pink fabric for another project, and so I just stole some of that, because what could be cuter than a hot pink donkey!! And then I noticed some scraps of pink minkee form another project I'm three quarters through, and was inspired. What kid doesn't love the softness of toys? It's that snuggly-ness that we fall in love with. So my donkey got given fluffy ears and soft bottoms. 

I spent last night chopping and sewing, and while they're not finished (I figured, why not just make two!) I think I really like my little donkeys.

I tried really hard to get them all finished before midnight so I could get in on the Donktober links party, but my tummy was so tired after working this week that I had to keep lying down. Oh well. I'm sure Erin knows I tried and will just be happy to see more donkey love in the world.

  2. I am pretty sure tons of kids (and lets be honest - adults too) would love a pink donkey with a soft bottom! Can't wait to see them so fluffed and stuffed.
