The Wise Little Owl

So, since I did it for one niece, I felt I had to uphold tradition and do the same for my next one (at the time of this post, imminently due to arrive...actually fashionably late). So, back to good ol' Google for ideas on cute stuffed animals. And bingo - I found a super cute owl, which goes with this little girl's nursery theme. I don't think there were directions attached to the one I found, so I printed out the picture, and pretty much eye-balled the pattern. This method is not for the faint of heart (nor for those with limited fabric!). However, I do think this little wise owl turned out rather well, and will no doubt guard the nursery with dignity and aplomb.

My only regret here is that her wings look a bit like airplane wings ready for take-off, as opposed to bird wings, but I guess I'll know that for next time.
