Owl I Phone Cozies

It's amazing how many things can be crafted to look like an owl. These cozies are specially made to accommodate the I-Phone. The bright colors will please people of all ages. My preferred yarn for these cozies is 100% cotton yarn. The beaks have been made using repurposed wool. I recommend hand washing these cozies and air drying.

The tweedy owl made with Sugar 'N Cream Twists is the first one of its kind made.

It's fun thinking of all the color combination. I really like purple an orange together.

  These cozies were made by request for an Etsy buyer.  Thank you so much for your support.

 

 

Hearts for Haiti

My limited edition From the Heart Cell phone cozy sold the same day it was listed. Hearts for Haiti has raised $22,634.80 as of January 29, 2010.  The money raised goes to Doctors Without Borders.

If you are an Etsy seller consider participating.

A Happy Owl

This picture of one of my Owl cozies was sent to me by Lesley.  She is very happy with it too and it just really warmed my heart to get such a nice feedback.  Lesley does have an Etsy shop and I also share her love for paper ephemera.  So I'm thinking when the owl is not fulfilling its duties to protect the cell phone, it can just be used to decorate any little corner of your house.  Thank you Lesley.

Speaking of owls....Most of them have sold and the only penguin I had listed has already been shipped.  I found these bright buttons and discovered they will look great to secure the cozy's strap.  It's great to finally find a use for these bright buttons.

The bright green buttons match owly's eyes.

I have already selected the yarn I will use for the Blackberry Cozy that a friend has commissioned me to make. I'm just tickled that she would like a monkey.

...so stay tuned....Monkey Blackberry Cozy coming soon....

Owlmania

I'm saying goodbye to my first Owl Cell phone cozy this weekend. I'm thrilled to know that someone has decided to bring him into their life.  Making cell phone cozies is quick but also a little bit addicting. My inspirations come from the many children books I come across at the library.

A cute and whimsical owl deserves special packaging.

Speaking of owls.  I do like them a lot so making them delights me. I finally finished the knitted owl I made from the pattern by Amy Gaines. Her patterns are very detailed and easy to follow. This owl was knitted with my favorite cotton yarn: I Love This Cotton.

This next cute owl family is an upcycled creation.  I used one of Cliff's wool ties.  He hasn't worn a tie in years.  The pattern came from ManiMina studio.  Just made Papa owl and baby owl.  I would like to add other members to this sweet owl family.

Baby owl looks sleepy....

Shawna loves my Lacy crochet hats.  She has 3 boys but many friends with girls.  This newborn size Lacy Crochet hat is for her friends soon to arrive baby girl. Feels good to have a repeat customer.

I am now offering a courtesy gift card upon request for my Etsy customers.

The Lacy Crochet Hat looks good on babies, children and adults.  These three were made in the adult sizes.

I almost forgot........

I purchased this owl this past December in Target. One more for my collection.  He was made with mostly natural materials.

Now I wonder where the real owl that lives in our woods has been.  Haven't heard him in a while.  I could not help been a little jealous when Beth at work told me this past week about the owl that has been visiting her back yard.  He's not shy at all and shows up during the day.  I would just love to see a real owl on my yard.

Thankful Thursday

A day off work is something to be thankful about, especially since I had so many unfinished crafting projects.

Mini Crochet Cloths contain a mini soap from Heidi's Handmades.

Crochet Snowmen Ornaments and Coasters

Finished Mini Cloth is ready

Sock Monkey Ipod Cozy is ready to be wrapped.  Sock Monkeys make me smile. 

Cell phone Sock Monkey Cozy.  This one was my first one.  The next one got bigger ears.

Pink Sock Monkey Cell Phone Cozy.  I think I like the button in cream to match the top.

The Snowmen Pins are also finished and ready to give away.  I was so glad I had wool on hand to make the scarves.  I had ordered it several months ago from Callida who sells it on Etsy.  Great selection and just right for this project.  You can find the instructions to make these on this post.  Snowmen are backed by card stock and are wrapped in a small cello bag.
