Timothy of Fantastic Toys recently emailed with a link to his tutorial for super cute felt softie Christmas ornaments:

How gorgeous would these look in different colour combinations, not just on the tree but hung on ribbon/string like a garland on the walls, across doorways, down staircase rails too?
These ornaments can be hand-sewn, machine-sewn and kids will have a great time gluing on the little embellishments.

How adorable is this little guy?!

He is made from fleece (soft and cuddly!) and requires a small amount of stuffing. The whole pattern (template and instructions) is available as a free downloadble PDF document.
Christmas is a few months away but if you start now you can make one of these for all your loved ones and have them ready just in time
They would look so cute poking out the top of a Christmas stocking.

The Toy Society is holding a special holiday season event - A Toy Society Christmas. As stated on their website:
“A co-ordinated simultaneous world-wide toy drop the weekend before Christmas. On that weekend a map with drop locations will be uploaded to the blog so you can see where all the Toy Society elves are active. Each toy drop will also then be uploaded to the blog as well as any finder emails.”

Please follow this link for all the details: A Toy Society Christmas
Also, the Softies for Mirabel Christmas Appeal deadline is quickly approaching - you will need to get your handmade softie to Meet Me At Mikes by December 5. More details are here.
Two great excuses to make use of one/two/three of the many free patterns linked from this site!
