OWLS!

This has become one of my newest obsessions - I found the idea on Pinterest and have changed it from the original, which was for an ornament. My wonderful husband and mother in law have been able to make bigger templates for me and I have 4 different sizes now! The first one that is shown was made for my 2 year old - it was the second one I'd made, the second picture is the first one I made. Once Ryann saw it, she had to have one and wouldn't leave me alone until it was finished! I am NOT a sewer - this is just felt, some fabric glue and embroidery floss. My mother in law taught me the "blanket stitch" to finish the edges to make them look nice. That was such a help!!! The final pic is the one that I started this whole project for - I wanted a "hooty owl" on my burlap wreath. I plan on making 3 of these, in graduated sizes, for Christmas in traditional Christmas colors. I will also eventually make the original ornament =)
