The girls went to an Angry Birds birthday party last Saturday, and I had a lot of fun making the gift for the birthday boy.
Red Bird, of course.
Black Bomb Bird.
And the birthday boy's favorite character, Green Pig.
Here they are, all together. Jessie wants a full set, with the yellow, blue and egg birds, too. And now some of the other kids at the birthday party want them, too. Thanks so much to the generous and talented Nikki C., who made the three patterns I used available for free on Ravelry. I don't know her at all, and she has no idea who I am, but I so appreciate her willingness to share.
I became an Angry Birds addict this summer (a little late to the ball game, I know, but hey, I knew it would suck me in. Don't even get me started with Plants vs. Zombies...!), so I got carried away and even decorated the plain red gift bag with a free printable from the internet.
Look at the birthday boy's pinata, and his T-shirt!
And I have to show you a picture of the cake... is that not amazing?
The characters are all marshmallow/rice cereal treats, covered with fondant. And I absolutely, positively did not make that. An incredibly talented co-worker of the hostess created that, and her made-from-scratch carrot cake was absolutely heavenly!
See Michelle, you are way cooler than me, because I've never heard of any of the creatures! Probably because I don't have an iphone. Looks like something my kids would love though. You are so awesome for making all those characters! That cake is pretty amazing too!

So much fun!!! The birthday boy likes the pigs the best?! Those little pigs make me so mad with their smirking smiles. :)

I was just reading your post and the next thing I knew, my kids were crowding around me to look at your crocheted Angry Birds. They really like them!
The cake is awesome. Looks like a wonderful birthday party.

Philip would be so jealous (he is Michelle's 19 month-old nephew). He seriously got 3-stars on two levels while we watched him! I can't even clear one level.
