I love owls.One of our favorite books is Owl Moon
I had found this pattern for knit owls over at Ysolda a while back and made one to attach to a little scarf I made for a 2 year old's birthday.
I thought some cute hair clips would be fun for the swap. Then I remembered that not everyone has girls. I mean what's a little 7 year old boy going to do with a hairclip? So I changed my mind and made little notebooks.
My daughter has been spending time at night doodling and "writing" in her notebooks by the light of her crystal salt lamp
I just knit up the little owls, sewed them to wool felt squares and added the paper...done!
I like how they turned out although I wish I had some lovely handmade paper to put in them instead of boring old cardstock.
Have you ever made your own paper? I loved the seed paper tutorial at The Long Thread, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
If you like to make natural toys/crafts, then fly on over to Bits Of Goodness and join our crafty group.
Hoot!
Can I commission an owl scarf next winter? LOVE that!!

Lisa - too funny! Not quite yet, although I was thinking it would be yesterday (full moon). Both of my other girls were full moon babies.
ReplyDeleteMiranda and Andrea - I think I'll make some for the next craft fair in mama size...just have to get permission from Ysolda for the owl pattern. :) I AM going to make clips for the girls though. This pattern is so simple.
