I've been up to a few things...
I got a bit crazy making owl's...
I really wanted to make something special for my kids, something that they could look back on one day with fond memories, knowing it was completely handmade by their mom!
And then I made these cute owl's.
This one is my son's
And this one is my daughter's
And then I decided to make a few more cos I enjoyed it so much!She is also hand painted-roses.
With a dotty back
A close up of the roses
The fabric is 100% pre-shrunk calico which I hand painted designs onto. I painted the wings too and stuffed them.
I used felt and buttons for the eyes and some felt for the feet.
Then this little owl is more of a show off, she likes to strut her stuff! She comes with a lace seam
and yoyo eyes with buttons and some ruffled wings. Made out of Biggie Best material.
The little rose owl is for sale in my Etsy store and the little posh one above will be soon, just finishing off some hand stitching on her.And lastly but not least...I made this little bunny for some bunny special....
It was quite hard to do as I machine stitched it but some parts were too narrow to machine stitch, so I had to do most of it by hand. She is holding three felt hearts.
I have also gotten back into my art journaling and enjoying it so much, but those pics for another day! I hope you are having a good week! Would love to hear what you have been up to.

Those are so cute Bonnie :) Your kids must love them for sure...and the little pink owl for your shop is precious. I could see the ones that you made for your kids with little pockets (either their noses or perhaps on their backs) for "tooth fairy pillows" with the pockets holding the little teeth ;) Can't wait to see your art journaling...I just started another 21-day challenge with a new journal as well. Have a wonderful week, fondly, Roberta
Those owls are ADORABLE!!!! Great job!
Hi Bon! thank you my dear friend for such a sweet comment on my blog! much appriciated! 'CAS' means clean and simple, sorry! assume everyone but me knew already!!
your owls are gorgeously sweet and adorable! well done! I really love your handpainted rose one, and the shabby chic one! and how cute is that bunny! bless!
when i made the little birds i had to hand sew them as modern sewing machines just don't stitch slow enough! You have inspired me to get sewing again!!
but once these school hols are over, you would not believe the mess my boys made with a reel of thread each while I left it unattended for 10 minutes, they unwound it ALL over my house! i never realised how much thread was on a reel!!haha!!
anyway, sorry for waffling on!
can't wait to see your art journalling.
thanks for sharing your beuatiful pretty creations bon (and please can you tell me how you made those little owls?! I'd love to make my boys one too!)
Xx
