hoot

i just finished (well, almost- he still needs his bum sewn up) this little stuffed owl for River's birthday coming up. i really like how it turned out! it's the first stuffed anything i've ever made. i'm not gonna lie, though....he wasn't easy! that being said, i may not actually let River play with him. he would probably be destroyed within the first few minutes. he may just sit prettily on a shelf as decoration in Riv's room.


the eyes, nose, and feet are felt, and the green body part is Minkee that i texturized. i'm not really sure how to get his face un-wrinkly!


bum- not sewn up.

Wow! That is so cute. Hazel's birthday is coming up, but I was just planning on buying her something. I guess she won't be as lucky as River.

Oh Em! He's handsome! When I gave Mia the sock-monkey I made her for Christmas, she bit his eyebrow out and tore his hat off. He is now treated as a decoration until she comprehends what I mean by "be soft."
