The Stick Horse

I guess this is Bullseye. I prefer animals with less predictable names, but my kids–who get the last word–think it’s a fine name for a fine horse.

This was my big homemade present for my two year old son, but it’s been equally loved so far by his name-choosing sister.

I had to make up the pattern I used, because I couldn’t find anything out there that I liked or had the look I was going for.  Usually when I do that I try and make a tutorial or something so I can contribute to the crafting community’s particular void, but due to a crazy season and late night crafting, I took no photos or even saved the pattern I made. But I’ll be making another one of these beauties soon, and I’m planning on doing a tutorial/pattern for the second time around, so stay tuned.

    I’d love it if you posted a tutorial/pattern. My nephew was playing with an old wrapping paper tube as though it was a horsey. He needs one!

    Bullseye turned out very cute!

    I love the blurred action shot and what a handsome buckaroo for Merritt to trot the house with.
