Door stop


The door stop wasn't very successful. I have this phobia of attracting rats if you use rice or somthing similar to stuff it with so I stuffed the head and the shell with normal stuffing and used stones in the lower body. I'm not sure how successful it will be!

Oh, that looks very cute! The stones should do the trick I think.

I like the idea Cass - My mum has stuffed things with Rice before and has never had a problem with creatures! Maybe give it a go and then descide if you think the stones are too bulky???

Too cute Cass! You really do make the most beautiful snails - I should know! It's Poppy's fav toy. You should design a whole nursery range - bib, toy, blanket, nappy pad! Feel free to ignore me there too! (I need the blush smilie)

Cass, great work! I love your snails.

Also like the jimmies below, glad you figured out bias binding. Now you can teach me if I ever need to use it!

I second Leah.

Cass, this snail looks great! Maybe pop to the shops and see what are stuffed in the shop door stops? I wonder if marbles would work???
