We had a 'House Day' today - staying in the Casa, mooching, cooking, cleaning (crafting!) and LittleFish wanted to sew her Owl Kit that was a birthday gift... It is by "The Little Experience"
Naturally we scrapped the instructions and use the sewing machine - you could easily sew by hand but my little one is just not that patient.
The OWLS are fabulous darling!
The printed pieces are just darling and we enjoyed it.
My criticism of the kits would be:
Nowhere near enough stuffing (good job i have a bit in the studio....)
Naturally - i would have added buttons to embellish. The kit could do with a few nice embellishments to add onto the Owls afterward.
These were our babies stuck outside in the ivy (photo: courtesy of the 6yr old) but this wasn't enough for my girl. We have since had to make nests, a perch, some leaves.... to make them feel at home...
AAaaahh crafty bliss :)
Owls on Branchs and polka dot felt leaves!

Oooo crafting bliss for you and the 'growing up so fast' small fish!! Love your additions, and polka dot felt?!!!! yum ;0 x
It must be owl making time! I have made 2 little owl pics this week. I love those little crafty owls - my little crafter is now 30 but we had many happy hours just like you. Its a wonderful way to build a close relationship and develop skills that last a lifetime!
Love the little perch you made as well.
Perfect, but have to give top marks for the petch and leaves. Kxx
