Of Birds and Slingshots

It's funny how relationships evolve, especially with one's children.  A year ago, who could have guessed I'd be at my sewing machine, putting small pieces of fleece together with my children watching in awe.  After all, they usually ignore me when I'm elbow-deep in fabric in my sewing room.  But not tonight.  Tonight, we were creating a small red plush bird, a replica of a character of the Angry Birds game.

Really, this just started a week ago when I downloaded a free app for my iPhone for the game.  I'd heard about it and thought I'd give it a try.  I had to show my kids.  It was adorable, in a flatten-bad-piggies-by-slinging-angry-birds sort of way.  And soon it was all we could talk about.  A quick search online found a blog by a woman who had made small plus characters from the game for her family.  We had to try it.  And try, we did.
