owl friends

i ended up making bea an owl similar to one she liked - but our friends had their new baby a little earlier than expected so we decided we should give their older daughter (bea's best-y) an owl as her big sister gift. for their newborn daughter a little singlet with her initial on it.




i was saving bea's owl for her birthday but she she saw me getting ready to wrap it for layne her 'wish' for an owl came back with a vengeance. we had to make another one in a rush this morning! big surprise she chose all pink for the fabric and was very helpful getting her new owl stuffed and ready to play. they couldn't stop flying around which contributed to their slightly blurry portrait together!



this owl only took about 45 minutes to make after making the original pattern - there are cute owls all over the place at the moment so it wasn't hard to find inspiration! most likely i will make these owls for the softies for mirabel drive ending next month - i had grand aspirations of making a turtle that can pop his head into his shell, but yikes next month is awfully soon and i'm afraid i am persistently behind in project completion. . .
