Crochet Owl

Hello Friends...it's been awhile.  We were away the other week, down and out with a cold last week, but starting to feel better now.  I'd found this adorable little owl last month out there in blog land, and was hoping to use it as an applique for a blanket I've been working on.  Check it out:

 

 

Isn't it is so cute?  This lovely pattern is from Love The Blue Bird, and it's fairly easy to make.  As always, thanks for looking.

Flower Cushion

Hello friends...my daughter has a friend at school who recently broke her leg skiing and so, the sweet thing that my little girl is, she wanted to make something for her friend.   Totally her idea to make a pillow...I just helped out with the details and sewing on some cute little crochet floral appliques that I had made awhile back.  She did all the stitching herself.  We used a cut off from some drapes that we had at the old house and some craft stuffing.  It was my first attempt at sewing on appliques....they didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but seeing as this project was "urgent", I did the best I could...

The choice of flowers to use were my daughter's entirely as was the positioning.
