Latest Owl Happenings

As you well know, I knit owls...and it makes me happy.  I keep coming up with ideas and I'm discovering that the possibilities are endless.  That is what is so neat about crafting and creating.  Once I get an idea or an inspiration my brain begins to work.  Recently, Nancy my friend and ex circulation manager at Mint Hill Branch Library said Emma and Marie had requested a purple owl and a blue owl.  Nancy is Emma's and Marie's grandmothers.

Chloe and Zoe were made my special request.  They were knitted using bright cotton yarn which I'm sure the girls will love.  The girls also requested hats, so I designed the newsboy cap.  I added the purses.  Girl owls need purses, don't you agree?

 
I have redesigned the talons and Chloe had surgery this morning.  The owls stand up on their own.

Remember the bright eyed blue eyed owl I was working on?

He is finished.  I name him Theo and he is ready to go back to Owl school.  He wants to get wiser...lol.... He will soon be listed on my Etsy shop.  Theo is my first blue eyed owl.

Theo and I would like to wish all those going back to school and all the home school moms including my daughter all  the best.

Birds of a Feather

Take a peek at the blue eye Owl which is still a work in progress.

Here are some other winged knitted creatures....

Life size knitted bird.

Yellow Baby Bird.  Found this nest during our trip to Bryson City, NC.

Pink baby bird.

Blue Baby Bird. or Twitter Bird.

Tried to make a baby bird with feathers on top.

...not sure about those feathers on the top.

Just like the Lord provides for little winged creatures in real life, He will also provide for all your needs.

Man is God's prized creation.  He loves you.  Trust him with your life and welcome Him in your heart.  I did....

A Wee Green Owl named Greeny

My daughter visited and brought a gift for me, a simply delicious New Zealand Merino handspun yarn from Jessie.  Jessie has recently come back to her Etsy shop.  She is in  the process of setting it up again.  I have purchased some wonderful all natural soaps from her shop.  This yarn she sent me feels wonderful to touch and the difference in weight that runs throughout creates a wonderful texture.

I think Greeny came out just as I had imagined.

Here is Greeny looking sharp wearing his all wool beret.  His anatomically correct talons allow him to stand on his own.
