I have wanted to make an owl softie for some time now. See, I also love eyes, when my babies were born and they looked up at me with those big eyes, I was done for. So owls, well, magic, birds, big eyes, turn their heads all the way around, let's just say I have a little crush. When I saw a little owl (which apparently is sold out) in this catalog, well I just had to ruthlessly steal the idea and copy it. (I'm not sure why the picture is so blurry, my camera is having issues.) A sweet little four-year-old, that I thought might appreciate a super soft fleece owl, received her on Saturday.

Owl Love You Forever
I have a thing for birds. It goes back to my Grandma Flossy. She was a painter and I could sit and watch her for hours. She loved to paint birds. Because her art teacher was from Japan, my grandma always signed her name in Japanese. I loved her studio, the beautiful brushes, the colors of the paint, a little heaven on earth. Ever since my Grandma died I have collected birds, it's a Flossy thing.
