P is for...

I had limited time, like one afternoon to whip up a handmade gift for a visit that evening to a friend with a new baby.  What would I make?  Clothes? Nah, didn't have any suitable fabric in the stash.  Bibs? Nope, likewise didn't have everything I need to make them straight away.

You could be mistaken for thinking I settled on a softie "pushmi-pullyu"...which actually would be a fun thing to make - but I digress. 


 I sewed it up, did some pressing and pushing and primping and plumping...


...to end up with a playful puppy softie.


Perfect!

And how exactly did I get myself the time to pull this task off?

Why, play-doh pirates, of course!
