I’ve been a little obsessed with owls for the last few years. Maybe because my mom collected owls when I was kid. So, when I saw this recipe featured on Craft magazine’s blog last year, I bookmarked it and finally got around to making it today with Daphne. Aren’t they the cutest?!?

So fun! And to keep with the owl theme, I made this felt clip for Daphne last week using Lil Blue Boo’s owl applique pattern, just reduced 50%.

Speaking of my mom’s owl collection, when I was in elementary school I made her a ceramic baby owl in art class. I made him dark, dark brown and when it came time to paint his eyes I was puzzled. I couldn’t make them black, because they wouldn’t show up… so I made them orange/red. And you know what it looked like? A Jawa (Star Wars). Truly the ugliest thing ever. Just to show you that my craft projects haven’t always worked out.
