I have been seeing these cute birds all around blogland...I love them, so cute!
Look at the strings on that nose~no matter how well you think you did trimming threads and tidying up things before pics, there is always at least one untrimmed thread in every picture!!
I made it completely from scraps, didn't buy anything for it!
It is still September, so I am still working on my stash busting!
I looked at a few owls on etsy and blogs and made my own pattern from a Schnucks' sale flyer...
I used chenille scraps for the eyes and the belly. His nose is a scrap of orange wool felt and I like the pop of color it gave this all black and white look! The back is the same color as the wings.
I probably would make it a bit taller because when I stuffed it, it got a little shorter than I wanted...
Anyway, he looks really good next to the wool felt pumpkins!
I am linking to these parties, plus others on my sidebar!

Thanks for sharing your owl with us at A Crafty Soiree! I know what you mean about the threads, only in my case it seems like a stray cat hair always makes it into the picture. See you next time!
