Shortly after the announcement, they decided on a Harry Potter-themed nursery. Given my almost unhealthy Harry Potter obsession, I might be just as excited about the idea as they are. I offered my crafty skills as a shower gift, and was super excited to take on the challenge of making a Harry Potter crib mobile, similar to one Emily had spotted on Pinterest. I used a similar technique to the felt birds I made last year, except I designed all the patterns myself this time! I just love how Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore all turned out. They are soooo cute. I also made stars, a crescent moon, a lightning bolt, a snitch, and Hedwig for extra decoration. I strung everything onto a pre-assembled mobile arm using embroidery floss.
I started working on the mobile in February and finished in plenty of time for Emily's shower last weekend. I got the OK from my doctor on Friday to travel the two hours to my parents' house on Saturday, but I think it's my last time traveling for a while! It was fun to see their house decked out in blue balloons and hydrangeas, since we've been deluged with pink things around here! After we lunched and played a few games (I particularly enjoyed modeling a baby from Play-Doh), Christopher arrived for opening gifts.
I hope Christopher, Emily, and baby enjoy the mobile as much as I enjoyed making it!
Oh my! That Harry Potter mobile is sooooooo cute. What talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was very tempted to keep it for myself :)
DeleteHi Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I've been looking for! I've just spent the past 2 hours searching for Harry Potter felt characters on Etsy to make a Harry Potter inspired crib mobile for my new born niece for Christmas. I've found a Harry Potter motorised mobile that plays HP themed music, but now need to find the designs and/or ready made felt characters and props to attach to it. Do you have any recommendations? Would you be kindly willing to share your cut out designs to replicate? Or perhaps accept orders to make?
I adore your creations - you are wonderful talented.
Thanks,
Lauren
Hi Lauren, I'd be happy to share the pattern and some tips with you. Send me an email to cozybirdhouse AT gmail DOT com, and I will respond with the PDF. It's not a perfect pattern, since I only made it for personal use, but hopefully it will be complete enough for you to use!

DeleteHi! I Really love your work!! I spent the last two hours scouring the internet for something like this. Please tell me you sell them? A dear friend had a baby and even named her so her nickname was Ginny. My issue is that I would need this before the end of the month. Is that possible? They really look so great. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKind regards,
Lara
