Creeping Gigantism

Argh, I have the nasty habit of cutting the pattern pieces a little bit larger, and larger, and larger when I don't use a pattern template.  With cat toys that can start making a toy oversized pretty fast. My Beets have been one of those items that keep getting a little bigger each time.

 

Well today I 'downsized' them quite a bit, not only do they make better RADISHES, I use less felt for the two leaves on top too.  And it gets them back to easy to play with cat size. 

 

Honestly, my carrots have gotten way too big lately, and the fried eggs (larger than the real thing) and even some of the mice, which I still cut freehand.  I lay out the folded fabric and start slicing without really noticing that it's getting a half inch too long here, added width there, and once it's stuffed it just looks too large sometimes.  I've got to make an effort to tone things back to 'moderate' instead of jumbo.
