Hoot Halloween Owl

Have you entered the giveaway yet? I'm doing a giveaway for Halloween with Gleeful Things. You should check it out :)

Two lucky winners will be receiving this special Halloween Owl :) The giveaway ends October 20th so you still have a few days to enter.

Projects!

I have been working on some new projects and wanted to show you a sneak peek:) First I started a new granny square blanket out of all my yarn scraps. I'm really excited about it. There is no direction and its so colorful and bright.

Second I saw this owl cozy tutorial over on Elsie's blog awhile ago and decided to make one for my friend Tori. She loves pink and owls so it was perfect. I had to make it a bit bigger since she doesn't have an iphone.

I still have a couple things I want to show that I will be posting later this week. I hope your having a great weekend:)

Holy Moly!

I'm participating in the Artichoke Designs handmade craft swap and I received my partners package yesterday. My partner was the super talented Julie at Gleeful Things and she made me the most amazing owl plushie ever and she used her own pattern. I love it. Thank you again Julie:)

I still have a few more finishing touches to add before I can send out my partners goodies:) But I will keep you posted.

Gifts!

Tori crocheted me this awesome elephant for my Birthday. I was speachless. I absolutly LOVE it. She also got me the owl lunch bag I have been wanting. Thanks Tori! On another note what have you all been up to this weekend? I have been working on my portfolio adding new pieces.

A Hoot!

Last week I made this canvas tote bag for Tori. I used one of her owl designs and she loved it. It was a tricky lil project but I got the hang of it after awhile.

YAY!

My Etsy shop is officially open:) Check it out here.

It's Soon!

Christmas is super close and I still have so much to do. I finished crocheting two blankets but I still have two more to go. I have a few swaps I have to finish and several other presents. Plus I'm going to open my shop this week:) I can't wait! Here are a few previews.

Amigurumi Time

I made another owl for The Great Owl Crochet Along. I used sport yarn this time and the owl turned out to be way smaller than the first. I also made some modifications but I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Crochet-Along

I finally finished one of my owls for The Great Owl Crochet-Along hosted by Karla over at The Itsy Bitsy Spider. It was really fun to crochet this lil guy.

But it took me a couple attempts because I originally purchased wool yarn and found it didn't work the way I wanted it to so I switched over to acrylic and TADA!

Also Its my sister Kels 20th Birthday Today!
Happy Birthday sis!

Crochet Time

Tonight a friend is coming over to help me start the owl for The Great Owl Crochet-Along. I can't wait! I have never made a amigurumi plush before. Plus I decided to make my owl using Debbie Stroller's Full O' Sheep line. I love all the colors because they are so vibrant and remind me of the summer.

Ready!

I finally finished my sister Kels Birthday gift in advance. YES! Now I can ship it to her with a couple other things so it will be there in time. Below are pics. I made the owl using fleece, Anna Maria Horner fabric, and vinyl. It was a task seeing how I really don't know how to use my sewing machine but I'm learning:)
