To start with I couldn't put down day tens start so I have a lot of progress on this one since Thursday.
I did manage to START no. 11 but it isn't really much of a start.
I started so I could say I started!
Day 12 is a really small start a poinsettia pattern from the Joan Elliott book which I felt like starting because it was smaller than the other ones. It will make a tiny cute ornament.
Now to the important stuff in this post. Back in October I bought an toy owl pattern from Funky Friends Factory. Just after Christmas I had a go at making one.
And here is Ollie owl ... I made lots of mistakes though it's not noticeable here. I had to unpick the wings and recut a side piece. I wasn't happy with what I did. SO today I made another one and took some progress pictures.
I used a variegated purple/blue thread to add the detail to the wings, tail and face.
Inside out and ready to turn :D
He's feeling very deflated.
Then tonight both owls are sitting together on the bean bag watching TV. It was much better the second time around I didn't make as many mistakes. I love them both and I don't know whether they will ever leave this house. They are too cute.
So that was my day. I was very busy for most of the day and avoiding doing any chores around the house. I will need to attack them tomorrow.
Happy Stitching,
Caitlin

ReplyDeleteI love the start 10! The owls look very cute, especially the 2nd one - It's the close up of its face that does it.
