So, I guess I wasn't ready just yet to stop with the owl parade. Meet the caboose --- Elma Owl
I made this pillow on Sunday for the daughter of my friend, a sweet little girl named Sophie. (Haila had to see for herself if it was comfortable.)
And, since I didn't share a great picture of Jacob's Birthday Crown last week, I decided to share a better picture. If you have a little one in your life, making one of these is a must. Jacob designed this one himself and wore it for a week straight. --- So quick, easy, and absolutely adorable!
Wishing you a wonderful day! ~ Maureen
What a fun giveaway and I'm sure Sarah will love her new friend.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the pillow!! Thanks a million I know Sophie will like it. Once again you kick butt :). Oh the owl is cute too but the picture don't do them justice!
ReplyDelete:) so cute! you are so creative! the pillow looks so comfy :) i don't know how you find the time to make so many beautiful things! i think i will have to make a birthday crown for my sweets this year, did you say before that you got the idea from one of amanda soule's books?
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteJenny - Yes, the idea is from the Creative Family, but naturally I didn't follow the instructions or use the template(you have to enlarge it.) The front is Jacob's favorite fabric from my stash(Anna Maria, of course - just like his mama). The back is soft felt and then I used some thick elastic that I had for the band. It took about 20 minutes + the time to do the "J" and it is SO loved!
This owl is darling!
ReplyDeleteSarah made a great choice. That is one impressive owl!
ReplyDeleteElma owl is very cool- I think it's all in the eyes. Love the fabric too!
ReplyDeletewhy aren't these owls on Etsy?? I want one :D
ReplyDeleteElma is awfully sweet too! She makes a very cute caboose! And I'm lovin' the pillow...
ReplyDeleteHello Bluebird looks like a very special shop - you are lucky to have it close by!
(And thanks, too, for all the mentions!)
You are so creative! Love your work. =)
ReplyDeleteLife Smart It - I plan on selling more on etsy once Haila is in school and I can make "making things" my full-time gig. Right now I sell to boutiques, so I don't have to spend what time I do have promoting and instead use that precious time to create more.
ReplyDeleteI post pics first always on my fb group page http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=63078428782
and if they are available they "luckily" get snatched up right away by my followers. You should join, if you are on facebook.
Sarah - Hello Bluebird is pretty far from me, almost 6 hours but it is just such a lovely looking shop - I couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately where I live there are no wonderful shops or boutiques to sell to. I do sell to several throughout the country - and hope to have my very own someday. : )
Thanks everyone!!!
