Now that I'm sure that the stuffed animal I made for Eireann in the Backtack III swap finally arrived safely, I can post pictures! I don't have many photos of it though unfortunately, because I just took a few quick pictures before putting the pony in its yellow Postbox paddock.
I wish I had taken more detailed photos! The pony's eyes are very tiny
vintage mother of pearl buttons, and I added a little hand embroidery on
his legs and appliqued flowers on his hind quarters. This little felt
horse was made from a pattern I bought in Sweden about 17 years ago. A
little more hand sewing than I remember, and a bit tricky, but it
makes a very cute horse. Here is another shot of him admiring the view
from the roof of my car
What a sweet horse. I love all those vintage pattern toys. The colors are great. What a sweet idea.

That's adorable, Sandra. Long time no hear from. Did you get my email about trading candy? I hope things get better for you. It's nasty hot here too.

Came here via Flickr and am so surprised I seem never have seen this beautiful horse before... odd.
It's so lovely!
