Happy Light mobile

Next in my series of birthday gifts for my friends, the McQueens, my "Happy Light" mobile was made for Olivia Light McQueen.

I drew from several online sources for inspiration, though I didn't follow any pattern exactly. For the sun, I liked this cute one from The Chain Gang. I made my sun bigger and flatter so it could be the main "hub" of the mobile. To make stars, I followed this pattern, but made mine smaller. One star has some little beams of light and the other is a shooting star with a curly tail of half double crochet. The moon is just a little blue ball with gray cheeks :-)
