Create {week 1}

Alright.  As Briana may have already suspected, I already had my weekly creation already complete and ready to post since monday.  You can call it cheating, i call it being prepared:  It was done in the first week of new years, in fact most of this some completed on new years day.


Briana's sweet sister is having a sweet little boy, and her nursery is all about little baby woodland creatures.  I love me some owls so when she approached me to make some gifts for her... my wheels started turning!


Here's what I came up with:


 A little owlie burpie based off some of the colors and imagery from her nursery 




A matching onesie to go with it.  

Now, these aren't her colors, but as soon as i spotted this owlie flannel, i couldn't say no. 
Would you? I thought not.




Of course that burpie also comes with a little onesie

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

 But my pride and joy... and i mean TRUE and PURE handmade, totally  hand embroidered pride and joy:
Is my sweet sweet little plushie owlie.   A few years back Briana spotted another little owlie of mine and has been plotting to find someone she could commission an owl for.


So there he is.



And like all of my felt creatures, he gets branded with his name that will always belong to him and him alone.  Ollie.  Tad had to pry him from my hands and remind me that i made Ollie for a purpose.


So I mailed my creations off and now i can only hope that the recipient loves them!
